“[1888 graduate student Frederick Haynes] Newell is purported to be the person responsible for the adoption of the USGS spelling of “gage” instead of “gauge”. Around 1892, Newell reasoned that “gage” was the proper Saxon spelling before the Norman influence added a 'u'…”

A ‘Waylaid' Teaching Diorama – USGS “Geology For Land Use”
--
For about 3 years, this gorgeous diorama has ‘just’ been sitting in a corner of a (common) hallway.
I can’t help but wonder its history:
• What prompted its creation?
• Who was the artisan (truly!) that created it and used those components and focus?
• When was it created? (late 1960s as an educated guess????)
• Why was it seen as useful / in what setting? (as I am sure it was)
• How was it funded?
(never mind that I want to claim it for my office, space notwithstanding…)
