Hemo the Magnificent, presented by the Bell Telephone System on CBS, was a costly monument to the low opinion that some broadcasters hold of the U.S. viewer's intelligence. Written and directed by Frank Capra as the second in a special science series (the first: Our Mr. Sun), the film told the story of the blood and how it gets around. It was doubly condescending in assuming that 1) viewers must be approached at the grade-school level to woo their interest in science, and 2) the circulatory system is so intrinsically dull that it takes...
...electron microscope shows that in green leaves the chlorophyll is arranged in flat disks like piles of plates. Biologists suspected that this delicate laminated structure had something to do with photosynthesis, but they could not make sense out of it until Bell Telephone Laboratories invented its solar battery, an electronic device made of thin layers of treated silicon. When sunlight hits the battery, it knocks electrons out of one of the silicon layers. Caught by another silicon layer, the electrons turn into a useful electric current. Hearing about this principle, Dr. Calvin and other scientists speculated that the thin layers...
Although the symposium is being sponsored by Bell Telephone Laboratories, I.B.M., R.C.A., and Sperry Rand Corp., most of the speakers will be from universities. Aiken expects, however, that between 60 and 70 percent of the guests will be from industry...
...Says Dr. Hitzig: "There are unusual circumstances under which it is not feasible to remove the patient's clothing to record, blood pressure. The answer is a diaphragm (not bell) stethoscope appropriately positioned on the elbow. The auscultatory systolic blood pressure in the elbow can be confirmed by inflating the cuff and palpating the radial pulse at the wrist. When Mr. Krishna Menon collapsed at the U.N., I applied my blood pressure cuff on top of his clothing. There was a reading of 220 mm. I confirmed this blood pressure again by palpation of the radial pulse...
