Through work on a book on Engineering Materials, with chapters on Testing machines; iron--gray, malleable, wrought, alloy; carbon and alloy steels; heat treating; non-ferrous metals and alloys; copper, tin, nickel, lead, zinc, aluminum, etc., I have come in contact with many products and processes. In spite of the depression, there is marked activity in research work, and as there is activity in this field, then this is the one to train students to enter, instead of in the already overcrowded ones...
...record. Steersman Colgate, son of the late Soapman Gilbert Colgate, learned bob-sled driving in Europe. Closest to the Colgate team was the Adirondack Bobsled Club team, piloted by Donna Fox. On its last run the Fox sled, with "knee action'' runners made of an aluminum alloy, jumped the track just below Whiteface, landed safely on the roadway beside...
...revealed that aeronautical engineers have assured him: "It is a comparatively easy task to design and turn out on a volume-production scale a small airplane which will sell for around $700. . . . It would be a low-wing monoplane . . . would carry two passengers, be constructed of a new steel alloy, fitted with an eight-cylinder, smallbore engine . . . and equipped with a geared propeller. Top speed probably would not exceed 100 m.p.h. The outstanding feature would be the landing speed of about 25 m.p.h. which would be brought about by air brakes in the form of flaps. The cost of operating...
...from 925 parts in 1,000 to only 500 parts, Sir Robert shrugged: "The result is all those dirty coins you see today. The thin covering of fine silver wears off and leaves a dirty patch on the King's cheek. We have now developed a new alloy to make the coins wear the same color all through...
American Stainless Steel, licensing concern jointly owned by several big independent steel companies, and an alloy-making subsidiary of Union Carbide & Carbon promptly filed suit for patent infringement. The suit dragged out until last week, cost Rustless Iron nearly $500,000 and considerable business from buyers fearful thatthe company would lose the suit and make them liable for damages. So simple is the Wild process that Rustless Iron can make stainless steel at a substantially lower cost than other patent steels. Bulk of its $1,000,000 sales go to Ford, General Motors, American Rolling Mills, Superior Steel...
