Fleming & Associates<\/strong>\u00a0company was established in 1974 in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA by August Elof Fleming<\/strong><\/em>, known widely as Gus. \u00a0<\/strong><\/em>He was born on 2 March 1923 in Kansas City, Kansas to the late Kenneth and Minnie Josephina (Olson) Fleming. \u00a0In childhood his father, a machinist, taught him how to use a lathe, while his mother taught him music.\u00a0 Gus <\/em>was a natural born engineer, and an accomplished musician, playing the glocken-spiel\u00a0 since the age of three, and learning to read music as his first language, thanks to his mother.\u00a0 He also played the piano, violin, cello, cornet and, his favorite, the marimba. At the age of fourteen, Gus <\/em>was struck with polio. As those who knew him can attest, he did not let this condition encumber him, ever using his engineers mind to create solutions to any mobility issues he faced.\u00a0 Gus <\/em>graduated as a University of Kansas Jayhawk in 1948, going on to work for the next 30 years for General Motors<\/strong> and Detroit-Diesel Allison<\/strong> (Rolls Royce<\/strong> Indianapolis). In 1958 he did the standard venturi meter in series with the nozzle.\u00a0 The break through “Wheatstone bridge” used in calibrating thermocouples. In early 1961 or 62 Gus<\/em> was asked to develop a T56 thermo-couple calibration rig.\u00a0 The build experience of the T56 venturi rig taught him where the measurement problems were given 1963 technology. To calibrate the air cooled thermocouples stationed at combustion chamber exhaust, Gus<\/em> used a Wheatstone bridge<\/em> for the thermocouples and a pneumatic version of a Wheatstone bridge<\/em> for the thermocouple cooling air.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It was during his work at<\/span> Allison Gas Turbine <\/span><\/i><\/strong>(now\u00a0<\/span>Rolls Royce<\/span><\/i><\/strong>) <\/span><\/i>that he became<\/span> <\/i>the premiere <\/span><\/i>in\u00a0 <\/span>Dynamic Airflow Measurement techniques<\/em><\/span><\/i>. <\/span><\/i>Gus<\/em> built many types of measurement machines for Allison Gas Turbines<\/em><\/strong>. During machine development, Gus<\/em> would listen to the sounds, watch the gauges and determine what components needed improvement. He would study their design and improve them to suit the need.\u00a0 He often told the “Manufacturer” how to improve their product.\u00a0 This Fleming technique employing the Wheatstone bridge concept<\/em> in pneumatics allowed the Allison<\/em><\/strong> 250 1st stage nozzle to have a 0.7% total tolerance.\u00a0<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

His entry into the field of Aerodynamic measurement<\/em> came in the late 1950\u2019s when an unexpected problem arose that could not be solved by conventional means. It was found that a gas turbine nozzle warped so badly during engine testing that the traditional mechanical testing tools used to measure and adjust the nozzle would no longer fit onto the part. Such testing and adjustment is aerodynamic area of the nozzle, and other such gas turbine components. Such testing and adjustment is critical to insure proper engine performance, and until his time all measurement was done mechanically. So Gus Fleming<\/em> developed a new, dynamic airflow process<\/em> to determine the aerodynamic area of the nozzles, and such gas turbine components. The improvement in the Accuracy <\/em>and Efficiency<\/em> (speed of testing) obtained by using Gus<\/em> Fleming\u2019s dynamic process<\/em> was so great that test procedures on gas turbine components were changed to take full advantage of this methodology and led to the development of the\u00a0AF-16 Test Bed<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0AF-36 Airflow Measurement System<\/em>, as well as various Adaptors<\/em> to allow a variety of gas turbine components to be tested on the Systems. Two of these machines designed in 1965 continue to be the fastest Airflow Measurement Systems<\/em> in the world. Three of August Elof Fleming\u2019s<\/em> inventions continue to be used by Rolls Royce<\/strong>, more than 50 years after their inception.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Gus <\/em>was a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers<\/em>, the American Civil Liberties<\/em> Union and Universalist Unitarian Church<\/em> also he was a founding member of Circle Unitarian Universal<\/em> Fellowship Indianapolis<\/em>. He enjoyed classical music, discussions about democra-cy, aviation, and wind-energy, was a private pilot and was true to his Swedish roots. After his retirement in 1992, Gus\u2019s son Ronald J. Fleming <\/strong>took over the company and continues the family business with\u00a0 <\/strong>Fleming & Associates Calibration, Inc<\/strong>. The company has continued to refine and sell its products all over the world. The main product of the company is the AF-36<\/strong> Airflow Measurement System<\/em>.\u00a0 It has been continually refined since the time of its design and is today the state of the art in Aerodynamic measurement of gas turbine components. The <\/em>aerodynamic methodology for test procedures, accuracy of measuring and reliability of Fleming<\/strong><\/em> Airflow Measurement System<\/em> provides safe and high quality gas turbine components for engine aircraft. \u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
