Monday. At Geneva, the Assembly of The League of Nations met beneath the glare of "movie arc lights," and chose Sir Austen Chamberlain, the British Foreign Secretary, to chairman a committee created to pass upon Germany's "credentials" and report (perfunctorily, of course) upon the eligibility of Germany to enter the League...
Comparison of the estimates for riveting with the actual figures for the welding was overwhelmingly in favor of the new method. In labor costs it had saved 23%. Where riveting-gangs of four men would have been required, single operators had manipulated portable arc-welders, thus interfering less with other workmen. The time saved was over 20%. Strength tests showed the welded joints to be 100% strong, as against a 65% to 70% average for riveted joints?that is, the welds were as strong as the girders they joined, often stronger under test stresses. Rivets shear or rip out their...
Electric welding is not new to machine shops, especially locomotive works, but for structural steel work a new type of welder had to be evolved. The "Stable-Arc" welders used by the Morgan Co. were built by the Lincoln Electric Co. of Cleveland and mounted on hand trucks. The process: a high frequency arc up to 300 volts is applied to a bar of steel corresponding to a bar of tinsmith's solder, which is pressed along the crevice between two surfaces that are to be joined. The bar is melted, as are both the girder surfaces along the line...
...propositions are true, a new, non-Euclidian system of space and spatial measurement is built upon them. In this Einsteinian system, no line is absolutely straight; projected, the ends of any line will ultimately meet, forming a circle whose circumference is estimated at 18 quintillions of miles. An arc of this circle is as straight as a real line can be, and truly measures the shortest distance between two points in the universe as it actually exists?that is, in a universe full of conflicting masses of electricity and spinning bodies whose pulls and counter-pulls "warp" space...
...favor with white people, he found one had merely to fight. Accordingly, when the War was over, he started to earn his living in the prize-ring. His naive but effective antics made him a good drawing card, and before long he found himself standing under enormous arc lights in the Velodrome Buffalo in Paris while 50,-000 people shrieked and Georges Carpentier, "Gorgeous Orchid Man," world's light-heavyweight champion, twisted helplessly at his feet...
