...ground crew of several hundred men. At Akron is being completed a mobile mooring mast, 76 ft. high, modeled somewhat after the tractor-hauled stub mast developed last year at Lakehurst. The new mast is self-propelled by a 225-h. p. gasoline engine which operates a generator and dynamo. Power is transmitted to caterpillar tractor "feet" at the bases of the mast's tripod legs. Two of the feet are motorized; the third is for steering...

...youngest scientists, 29-year-old Dr. Bruno Lange. His first sun disc, developed several years ago, was copper covered with copper oxide. Lately he has used other metals and oxides, has found some which will develop from sunshine enough current to light an electric bulb, drive a small dynamo. Dr. Lange will not, of course, tell what metals he used...
