...Bedford. Recently she purchased a small, conveniently maneuverable "Moth" airplane, and transformed into a landing field the lawn in front of her home, Woburn Abbey, Bedfordshire. The chauffeur is the final touch. He now pilots Her Grace back and forth to London, where she is busily engaged in performing electro-physical researches...
Friends of Mary du Cauray, Duchess of Bedford, recalled that she is a busy expert in the realm of X-ray and electro-physics with little time for champagne christenings. "What are the peculiarities of mountain eagles in flight?" is a question which so intrigues the Duchess of Bedford that she passed a recent holiday above Spain, chasing mountain eagles by airplane...
...beam of light through 48 apertures arranged spirally in 2) a large disc that revolves 18 times a second. The light thus brushes speedily across an object or performer and is reflected back upon the third important element of the device-photo-electric cells. The reflected light modifies the electro-magnetic waves passing through the tubes. With light waves rapidly translated into electro-magnetic waves, there remains no problem of sending the electro-magnetic waves through the air. Radio transmission, which changes sound waves (also a part of the machine) into electro-magnetic waves has solved that. The sight & sound...
Other Devices ? electro-magnetic lifts, detachable chambers and keels, divers' suits for escape through torpedo tubes or conning tower?were all said by the Navy Department to have been studied, tested and found impracticable. The Navy Department's memorandum of last week on safety devices was prepared last year to answer constructive criticism of the S-51 disaster off Block Island...
Inside the box were electro-magnetic fields, actuated (through radio vacuum tubes) by an electric current that alternated at stupendously rapid frequencies. The alternations, as is the case with radio broadcasting waves, were too rapid for human ears to hear. But Professor Theremin, as anyone can do with a heterodyne radio receiving set, put one series of his electro-magnet waves against another series and thereby deadened a sufficient number of the millions of waves speeding silently through the box each second to leave few enough oscillations for audibility. (The highest number of waves that the ordinary human...
