Self-Lighting Grill. An outdoor cooking grill with an electric coil that will light the fire has been put on sale by Manhattan's Kamkap, Inc. The coil, buried at the bottom of the grill, will light charcoal, have it at broiling heat in less than two minutes. Price: $19.98-$100 Revolving Credit. Boston's First National Bank has started a new-type personal loan based on the revolving credit fund used by business. The bank extends credit to a borrower based on how much he can pay back each month for a year, lets him write checks...
Smallest Transmitter. A 20-mm. shell is less than an inch in diameter, but Roy J. Smollet of the Naval Ordnance Laboratory, Silver Spring, Md., has built a radio transmitter that fits into its nose and leaves room to spare. The transmitter has one transistor, a coil half an inch across, and a mercury battery considerably smaller than a dime. When the shell is fired, it sends out a wave that tells how the shell is spinning and whether it is wobbling in its flight...
Corridor Clamor. Joe was not without friends, however, and the next day they began arriving in Washington. From McCarthy's own Wisconsin came a pitiful little caravan (which had been stalled for a night in Kenosha with an ailing engine coil) consisting of two cars and a truck. From New York came a trainload of Mc-Carthyites headed by Rabbi Benjamin Schultz, director of the American Jewish League Against Communism, whose slogan is: "Strike terror into the hearts of Flanders and Malenkov." One man wore a white suit and brandished a butterfly net, aping Joe's suggestion that...
Between the two sheets' is special glass surrounded by a coil of insulated wire. When a powerful current from a condenser is shot through the coil, it creates a magnetic field in the glass which rotates the light waves so that they pass through both of the polarizing sheets and reach the film of the camera. The light can pass only while the current is flowing, so a very short pulse opens the shutter for as little as one millionth of a second. Some such speed was necessary to picture the doomed tower when it was only half-vaporized...
Their technique consists, essentially, of placing a substance containing the atoms they wish to study inside the core of a high frequency coil, which in turn is placed in the field of a strong magnet. When oscillations corresponding to the resonance frequency of the nuclei are fed into the coil, the magnetic activities of the nuclei are amplified and can be easily recorded...
