Inventor Claude's principle, old to physicists, rests on the fact that water's boiling point is governed by pressure. Lower the pressure sufficiently and water will boil at room temperature. Why not, reasoned Inventor Claude, put warm surface sea water (between 79-86° F. in tropical seas) in a boiler, reduce the pressure and set it to boiling? Cold water could be brought...
Procter & Gamble today operates seven factories: Ivorydale, Ohio; Dallas, Tex.; Macon, Ga.; Port Ivory, Staten Island, X. Y.; St. Louis, Mo.; Hamilton, Ontario; Kansas City, Kan.
