...different in each case, the principle is the same. At the instant a bomb explodes overhead, fission turns it into a rapidly growing "ball of fire," which dims for an imperceptible instant, then grows to a diameter of 900 feet at a temperature of 7,000° C. (see diagram). Around the fire ball forms a shock wave - a shell of air compressed so tightly that it glows white...
...strain (distortion) in the earth's crust. Dr. Benioff studied the records of all major earthquakes since 1904 and made a chart of their "strain-rebound" characteristics. Somewhat to his surprise, the chart made a regular, sawtooth pattern, with the teeth getting smaller and lower as the diagram approached...
...Bell crystals are grown in thick-walled steel "bombs" filled with a water solution of alkaline material (see diagram). At the bottom is a layer of finely ground quartz (silica). A small quartz crystal (it may be only a sliver) is suspended near the top. When the bottom of the bomb is heated to 750°F., and the pressure raised to 15,000 Ibs. per sq. in., the ground quartz dissolves. Its molecules diffuse through the solution. When they reach the cooler top of the chamber, they deposit one by one on the "seed," building it into a perfect...
...photo of Ingrid and Roberto, and with some paste and an artist's deft strokes, superimposed them, with others, on a photograph posed against the background of a hospital room (see cut). For readers who might feel tricked, Incom ran the original photographs inside, along with a diagram showing how they were mated. The stunt paid off. Incom sold a record 260,000 copies, one-third more than its usual circulation. Among the purchasers: Roberto Rossellini, who, in a fine Italian fury, telephoned Incom's office to bellow that Incom's general manager, Sandro Pal-lavicini...
...mirrors are arranged so that red light from the red tube is reflected to the eye of the viewer from the red-reflecting mirror (see diagram). Blue light from the blue tube is reflected by the blue-reflecting mirror, but passes through the red-reflecting mirror to the eye. Green light from the green tube is not reflected at all. It reaches the eye direct. The viewer sees the three pictures superimposed so that they blend to form a full-color picture...
