Last week demonstrations by Floyd Ramsdell of Worcester Film Corp. brought nearer the day of movies in depth and color, when the screen will seem to be a stage of unlimited scope. Persistent, inventive Floyd Ramsdell does not use a double camera or double projector, relies instead on a "beam splitter." This mounts two lenses on a single camera, prints the two pictures-one from each lens-side by side in each frame of a motion film. The projector may thus be any standard make but is also fitted with a beam splitter which sets the two pictures almost over...
...signalize his new status, Admiral Robert and the State Department's Samuel Reber last week again signed agreements the Admiral had signed twice before (after consulting Vichy) with U.S. officials. Main terms: 1) immobilization of the French aircraft carrier Beam, two cruisers, some auxiliary and merchant ships; 2) U.S. supervision of communications; 3) U.S. economic aid; 4) the right to keep U.S. observers in the French West Indies, of which Martinique-on a direct route between Europe and the Panama Canal-is most strategic (TIME, May 25). Likely results: 1) practical independence for the French West Indies; 2) little...
Moore had reason to beam for he had orders for over 100 such engines. But last week Moore could beam for two other reasons: 1) at his Hendy plant the first of a batch of soft-purring turbine engines was ready for delivery-almost two months ahead of schedule; 2) he is about to spread out to the East through a $3.2-million purchase of substantial Crocker-Wheeler Electric Manufacturing Co. of Ampere, NJ. With this new plant he acquired electric motors and generators essential for turbo-electric drives...
Bama's elephants smothered Georgia's Bulldogs for three quarters, rolled up a 10-to-0 lead. Then, just as Georgia's despondent rooters began to pray for a miracle, Sinkwich's passes found the beam. Pitching with the brilliance of a Sammy Baugh, he plunked two into the paws of George Poschner, his former teammate at Youngstown's Chaney High, for two touchdowns in quick succession. Then Andy Dudish, a substitute halfback, grabbed an Alabama fumble, scooted for a third touchdown and the game, 21-to-10. It was Georgia's seventh victory...
...that the trailing plane that clipped the tail assembly was an army bomber. About all other details it was mum. Airline officials and pilots had cause to say: "I told you so." Long & loud have been their complaints about Ferry Command pilots who hop on & off the airlines' beam without reporting positions to traffic controls. One pilot reported last week he had to pull up the nose so fast to avoid hitting an army plane that he almost threw his passengers through the floor. The Army and CAA immediately launched an investigation: this was one time when there must...
