...Miami Valley Hospital at Dayton, where Dr. Simpson could experiment with it. It cured cases of syphilis (thus making Professor von Jauregg's troublesome malaria treatment obsolete), gonorrhea, rheumatism, colds and other ailments. But when the feverish patient broke into a sweat, the high frequency current tended to arc, thus burning his wet flesh. Mr. Kettering overcame that difficulty by fanning the patient dry with a blast of hot air from a new air conditioner which he was developing...
...temperature which can be sustained and measured, the positive pole of a carbon arc is the hottest place on Earth. Three Cleveland electrochemists who spend their time studying carbon have established this record temperature at close...
Last week Drs. Newcomb Kinney Chancy, Victor Carl Hamister and Stanley Warren Glass of National Carbon Co. recapitulated their recent experiments and reports for the Electrochemical Society convened in New Orleans. For nearly a century there has been controversy over whether carbon was liquefied in the heat of the arc. The Cleveland chemists showed conclusively that the carbon does not liquefy but sublimes directly from a solid to a vapor as dry ice does. The sublimation point is a fundamental constant of the element and represents the maximum arc temperature. Determining this constant within narrow limits provides, according...
