...take-off point, says Robert G. Chollar, research chief of the National Cash Register Co. at Dayton, was a trick paper coated with clay on one side and with a special colorless ink on the other side. When the sheets were superimposed and written or typed on, the clay and ink were forced into contact. The ink turned deep blue, making a "carbon copy" without carbon, but the paper was no good because in time the ink seeped through it, making unauthorized contact with the clay and staining the paper blue...
...Cash men were not licked. To keep the ink from joining the clay, they dissolved it in oil and churned it into microscopic droplets in a solution of gelatin and other gummy colloids. Then they caused the gelatin to precipitate on the oil droplets, enclosing them in capsules only one ten-thousandth inch in diameter. This trick solved the problem. The capsules and clay can be on the same side of the paper, but the paper remains white until pressure of a pencil or impact of a typewriter breaks the capsules; then the ink mixes with clay and turns blue...
...Matter. Cash now manufactures capsules by the carload for use in copying paper, but long before the capsules became a commercial success, the research men found more interesting jobs for them to do. In a sense, the microscopic capsules are a new form of matter, with properties of both liquids and solids. The liquid chemicals inside them may be highly reactive, but until the capsules are broken they remain almost as inert as sand...
...least little bit. Irishmen in general were still thinking about themselves, or rather, in their usual way, double thinking or squint thinking about themselves, in terms of dawns, and ands, and buts, and onwards, and dew, and dusk, while at the same time making a lot of good hard cash to the evocative vocabulary of traffic, tax, protection, quota, levy, duties, or subsidies while compiling a third and wholly different literary style (pious, holy, prudent, sterling, gorsoons, lassies, maidens, sacred, traditional, forefathers, mothers, grandmothers, ancestors, deeprooted, olden, venerable, traditions, Gaelic, timeworn, and immemmorial) to dodge the more awkward social, moral...
...Eisenhower Republican and founder of the National Conference of Christians and Jews. A product of Yale and Harvard Business School, Brownell has worked for American Smelting since 1927. Into his job as president moved R. Worth Vaughan, 53. ¶ Robert S. Oelman, 47, executive vice president of the National Cash Register Co. since 1950, was named president, succeeding Stanley C. Allyn, 65, who moved up to board chairman but remains chief executive officer. Dayton-born Oelman finished at Dartmouth summa cum laude in 1931, spent 18 months in Europe as a graduate student, came home to a $12.50-a-week...
