Portrait of Bud Waite |
Biography of Amory H. "Bud" Waite, Jr.
Amory H. "Bud" Waite, Jr. was born near Boston on February 14, 1902 and died in Venice, Florida on January 15, 1985. A radio
and electrical engineer, Waite participated in eleven expeditions to the Antarctic and twelve expeditions to the Arctic regions
between 1933 and 1965. As a radio operator during the Second Byrd Antarctic Expedition, Waite gained national recognition
as one of the three men who rescued Admiral Richard E. Byrd from the Bolling Advanced Base during the Antarctic winter of
1934. His most notable achievement in polar exploration and research was the development during the 1950s and 1960s of a
system to measure the depth of ice using radio waves. Waite patented this system, known as radio ice depth sounding.
Waite's career as a radio operator began in 1912 when, as a twelve-year-old Boy Scout, he obtained his first amateur radio
license. Following graduation from high school in 1919, Waite joined the U.S. Navy and went through the Naval Radio School
at the Great Lakes Naval Station in Illinois. First stationed aboard the battleship U.S.S. Florida in the Atlantic Fleet,
Waite eventually rose in rank to became the Flag Radio Operator for the fleet aboard the U.S.S. Arkansas. After leaving the
U.S. Navy with an honorable discharge in 1923, Waite worked for a variety of companies installing radio equipment in naval
vessels under construction in the Boston area. During this time he also took night classes at the Lowell Institute (present-day
Massachusetts Institute of Technology), graduating in 1926 with a degree in radio and electrical engineering.
In 1929, Waite became the Assistant Electrical Officer aboard the M.S. Triumph, the world's first electrically driven cargo
vessel. Waite traveled to the Philippines, Shanghai and Hong Kong and back through the Panama Canal during the ship's eight-month
maiden voyage. Upon his return from the Orient, Waite worked for four years at the Shortwave and Television Corporation in
Boston, where he eventually became the Chief Operator of New England's first television station. During this time period
Waite also served as a Master Sergeant in the Massachusetts National Guard, working to develop some of the military's first
mobile radio stations.
As an amateur radio operator during the 1920s, Waite spent many evenings monitoring the radio broadcasts sent by various polar
explorers, including U.S. Navy Lieutenant Richard E. Byrd. In 1933, when Byrd called for volunteers for his second expedition
to Antarctica, Waite applied and was accepted as an electrician aboard the expedition's ship, the S.S. Bear of Oakland. Waite
eventually became the ship's chief radio operator and later was assigned to the shore party at Little America. While living
at the Little America base Waite helped erect radio towers and became one of the expedition's radio operators. As such, Waite
traveled on many of the expedition's exploratory tractor trips across the ice of the continent. In July and August of 1934,
Waite participated in all three attempts to rescue Richard E. Byrd from his isolated position at the Bolling Advanced Base.
Waite, along with Dr. Thomas Poulter and Peter Demas, finally reached Byrd on August 13th, after traveling 123 miles in seventy
straight hours during the pitch darkness of the Antarctic winter at temperatures averaging minus 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The
rescue party found Byrd alive, but too weak to travel due to carbon monoxide poisoning. The four men subsequently spent ten
weeks together in the base's nine by thirteen foot hut until Byrd recovered from his sickness and weather conditions improved
enough to allow Byrd to return to Little America by airplane.
Upon returning to Boston from his first trip to Antarctica, Waite resumed his work in television, but kept in contact with
Richard E. Byrd. At Byrd's request, Waite began lecturing about his experiences in the Antarctic to various high school and
college groups. Over the next four decades Waite gave more than 3,000 such lectures, expanding his talks to incorporate his
experiences in the twenty-two subsequent trips he took to the polar regions.
Following the attack at Pearl Harbor in December 1941, Waite became a civilian radio engineer with the U.S. Army Signal Corps
based at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, a position he would keep until his retirement in 1965. During World War II, Waite helped
design and install the radio relay system used to communicate between England and France in the days immediately following
the Allied invasion at Normandy. He designed and installed similar systems in Saipan in the Pacific Theater of the war and
in Japan after the war's end. From 1946 to 1953, Waite was part of a U.S. Army Signal Corps team monitoring the affects on
radio communications during fourteen atomic bomb tests conducted in the Nevada desert and at islands in the South Pacific.
Waite's second trip to Antarctica occurred in 1946-47 when, as an observer for the U.S. Army Signal Corps, he participated
in Operation Highjump. He next returned to the region as a member of the expedition aboard the icebreaker U.S.S. Atka, which
circumnavigated the Antarctic Continent in 1954-55. The following year, Waite participated in Operation Deep Freeze I (1955-56)
and returned to the Antarctic seven more times between 1956 and 1965 during subsequent Operation Deep Freeze expeditions.
In addition, Waite traveled to the Arctic region twelve times from 1946 until his retirement in 1965, alternating his summers
in the Arctic and his winters in the Antarctic. Most of his early Arctic research took place in Alaska and in the Hudson's
Bay area near Fort Churchill, Manitoba in Canada. During the 1960s, Waite's research took him to Camps Tuto and Century
in Greenland.
During the 1950s, Waite became curious about aircraft crashes that occurred during flights over Greenland, which reports attributed
to errors in altimeter readings. Waite speculated that the faulty readings were caused by the radar waves used by altimeters
to measure an aircraft's height penetrating, rather than bouncing off, the deep ice covering the Greenland landmass. If this
was true, Waite thought a system could be developed to use radio or radar waves to measure the thickness of the ice covering
the polar regions. Waite first tested his theory on the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica during the winter of 1955-56, where
he successfully recorded the long-distance transmission of radio waves through ice. In January 1957, he recorded the first
bottom echo from the base of the Ross Ice Shelf and in the following year successfully measured the ground beneath 500 feet
of ice at Wilkes Station. Following these initial experiments, over the next eight years Waite made more than fifty flights
by aircraft and helicopter measuring ice depths over hundreds of miles of the polar regions. In the summers of 1963 and 1964,
Waite organized the International Cooperative Field Experiment in Glacier Sounding, in which teams from a number of countries
compared the measurements of ice depth obtained along the same sounding lines using radar, seismic, gravimetric and electrical
systems.
Waite continued to lecture about the polar regions after his retirement in 1965. He also pursued his interests in genealogy,
publishing a book on his maternal ancestors in 1982. Waite was an avid collector of polar philately and in 1983 designed
the cache for the postal cover commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Second Byrd Antarctic Expedition. A Life Member
of the Pioneer Wireless Association, Waite held an amateur radio operator's license throughout his life with the call letters
of W2ZK.
Scope and Content
The Amory H. "Bud" Waite Collection consists of approximately twenty-five cubic feet of documents, artifacts, photographs
and other audiovisual materials dating from the 1790s to the 1980s, though the bulk of the materials in the collection date

Sub-series 5: Genealogy, 1796-1983 Physical Location : Boxes 7-8
Scope and Content The one and one-half cubic feet of materials in the Genealogy Sub-series date from 1796 to 1983 and document the ancestry
of Amory H. "Bud" Waite. An amateur genealogist, Waite published a book on his maternal ancestors in 1982 based for the most
part on the documents in these files. In addition to the Waite or Wade family, the sub-series contains genealogical information
on the Breyfogle/Lemmon families and the Broughton/Glover families of New England, of which General John Glover of Revolutionary
War fame was a member. Many of the resources in the sub-series are photocopies of documents, though the collection does contain
original letters of the Broughton family dating from the 1840s and original Waite family documents dating back to the 1870s.
In addition, the sub-series contains a number of published genealogies, mostly on the Waite and Glover families. Located
in Box 23 are various family charts and other oversized family documents.

Sub-series 7: Patents, 1941-1973 Physical Location : Box 9
Scope and Content The Patents Sub-series consists of one-half cubic foot of records dating from 1941 to 1973. The records document the various
patents Amory H. "Bud" Waite applied for or received during this time period. Most of the patents pertain to radio or electrical
devices, such as a coaxial cable coupling, a sequential safety circuit, and various antenna designs. However, the majority
of the records pertain to an icebreaking, submarine oil tanker Waite and Marcel J.E. Golay designed in the late 1960s to transport
oil from the Arctic regions. While Waite and Golay received a patent for their design, a prototype of the submarine was never
built.

Series III: Audiovisual, 1880s - 1980s; 1933-1965 Physical Location : Boxes 13 - 25
Scope and Content The Audiovisual Series contains approximately nine and one-half cubic feet of photographs and other audiovisual materials
dating from the 1880s to the 1980s. The series provides visual images and sound recordings documenting the polar expeditions
in which Amory H. "Bud" Waite participated from 1933 to 1965. The series also includes audiovisual materials on Waite's interests
outside of polar exploration and on the Waite family. The series is arranged by format into nine sub-series.
Sub-series 1: Photographs, 1880s - 1980s Physical Location : Boxes 13-18
Scope and Content The Photographs Sub-series consists of four and one-half cubic feet of photographs and photograph albums dating from the 1880s
to the 1980s. Materials within the sub-series are arranged into the subject headings of personal, expeditions, people, photograph
albums and publications.The personal files contain photographs pertaining to Waite's hobbies and interests outside of polar exploration, such as amateur
radio, boating and genealogy. These files also contain portraits of Waite and photographs taken during his various stints
within the military.The expeditions files contain photographs taken by Waite or others during his twenty-three trips to the Arctic and Antarctic.
The files are arranged in chronological order by expedition name, and may be further divided by subject, event or place within
a particular expedition.Included within the sub-series are a small number of people files containing portraits or candid shots of noted polar explorers,
scientists, or military officers.Twenty-four photograph albums compiled by Waite from the 1950s to the 1980s comprise the bulk of the photographs sub-series.
The albums are arranged in numeric order by the number originally assigned to them by Waite. However, the photographs originally
located within each album were removed during processing, numbered by album page, and placed into file folders for preservation
purposes. Waite titled the first photograph album "Life of Amory H. Waite, Jr." when he put the album together in 1974 for
his family. This album provides a good overview of his life up to that year. With a few exceptions, the remaining albums
each contain a mixture of subjects that may range from genealogy to a specific polar expedition. A listing of the major topics
or events found within each album is located within the box and folder inventory. Single subject albums include number 10,
which contains photographs from Waite's visit to the Soviet Antarctic base at Mirny in 1958; number 11, which contains photographs
from the Antarctican Society meeting in Washington, DC on May 1, 1980; and number 23, which contains photographs from Operation
Deep Freeze I in 1955-1956. Two additional, non-numbered albums contain photographs of Waite family members dating from the
1880s to the 1910s.The publications files contain numbered photographs Waite selected for two of his unpublished manuscripts, "Flashes from de
Sout" and "Thoughts Relative to the Origin of Radio Echo Sounding." Other publications files contain charts and illustrations
used for various scientific papers and presentations from the 1960s on radio ice-depth sounding.In addition, boxes 16 and 17 contain oversized photographs arranged within the general subject headings of expeditions and
personal.

Scope and Content The Slides Sub-series contains one and one-half cubic feet of 35mm film slides or 3 by 4 inch glass lantern slides dating
from the 1930s to the 1960s. Like the photographs, the slides are arranged by subject headings into personal and expeditions
files. Amory H. "Bud" Waite carried a 35mm camera on most of his trips to the polar regions, so many of the expedition slides
are of images not found within the Photographs and Negatives Sub-series. In addition, the sub-series contains two 35mm slide
shows and one lantern slide show assembled by Waite to illustrate lectures he gave on his polar experiences and on the development
of radio ice-depth sounding. Another lantern slide show in the collection was compiled for use at an event celebrating Waite's
retirement from the U.S. Army Signal Corps in 1965.
