...long to wait for anything more satisfying than critical acclaim. His first novel The Victor won the critics, sold only a few hundred copies. Subsequent plays and novels got high praise, but sales stayed low. Now all Scandinavia is reading Two Living and One Dead. Flawless in outline, crystal-clear as a Norwegian icicle, it deals with psychological subtleties at high tension with almost miraculous precision, without any witchcraft other than an immaculate literary conscience and a knifelike style...
...laboratory so much devoted to the study of electric circuits as is the new Research Laboratory requires a highly accurate central equipment for checking frequencies. A crystal-controlled master oscillator of 50,000 cycles, with submultiple and harmonic frequency multipliers giving frequencies of 1000 cycles, and any multiple thereof up to more than 20 million cycles is part of the equipment of the building. It has an accuracy and constancy at all frequencies better than one part in five million...
...work on vibration of quartz plates by electrical means was carried on. They were used for depth finding by high frequency of sound reflected from the ocean bottom. Quartz vibrators were used for production and reception. Professor Pierce, and others, also found at this time that the quartz crystal was useful in stabilizing electrical oscillations...
...alloy of nickel and steel, used, experimentally, as a source of air waves, similar to sound waves, but above audible limit, especially in the range: 30,000 to 50,000 cycles. Such waves can be focused, confined to narrow beams like those from a searchlight. Both the quartz crystal and magnetostriction rod are being worked on for communication purposes, and are also used to study the elastic properties of materials...
