...layer of aluminum by placing the glass in a vacuum tank, boiling the aluminum off an electric coil so that the aluminum vapor deposits itself on the glass. At Johns Hopkins Dr. Wood used the same method for laying down on his plates first a thin coat of hard chromium, then a layer of soft aluminum. To make diffraction gratings the diamond point had to cut only through the aluminum skin. Last week Dr. Wood left no doubt that these gratings, with 210,000 lines in a space of seven inches, are the finest ever made...
...members, of whom 15,000 made the trip to Indianapolis. The tournament, No. 1 event of the year for U. S. bowlers, costs $200,000, of which half is distributed to contestants as prizes.

...with two ovens, each capable of baking 40 loaves of bread or roasting 125 lb. of beef at a time. Mrs. Roosevelt was particularly pleased with a steam table called a "Thermotainer," as big as an emperor's sarcophagus, for keeping food hot. Another Thermotainer resembling a heavy, chromium riling cabinet on small balloon tires is used to deliver the President's desk lunch to him in his office...
