Developing 500 horsepower, the Ranger is the lightest powerplant of its size in the world (1.28 pounds per h.p.), weighs some 200 pounds less than European engines of the same design and power, has no counterpart in U. S. design. Jubilant Ranger engineers declared its principles were adaptable to bigger engines, refused to confirm a current report: that at its modest (100 employes) plant at Farmingdale, L. I., Ranger is already working on a new powerplant of more than 1,000 horsepower to compete with Allison...
...smart engineering until it weighs 500 Ib. less than its rivals. Studebaker swears this has brought no structural weakness, no less safety. Most of the weight was saved in the engine and frame assembly, little taken from the body, in order to avoid the charge of being "tinny." Design is conservative-little chromium, headlights in fenders, no running boards. It has gearshift on the steering post, many standard Studebaker features such as hill-holder, rotary door locks, expensive shock absorbers. And it gets some 20 miles to a gallon...

Last week the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan put on exhibition the results of an interesting challenge. The challenge was made to architects last autumn and its terms were substantially these: let's see you design an intelligent theatre, if possible.

Because these people believe that future health and expansion for the U. S. theatre lies in the hinterland rather than in hectic Manhattan...
...hundred-ton cyclotron, one of the most powerful atom-smashers in the world, will be on view. In addition the visitor may see the new indoor wind-tunnel for testing airplane design; the new electron bombardment furnace, producing temperatures half as hot as the sun; the 100,000 - volt storage battery, most powerful in the world; the high-frequency radio equipment making automatic records of condition in the ionosphere; experiments which have led to a new theory of mountain formation; and many other laboratory features...
