...first floor houses seven labs, a dark room, two cold rooms, and a special equipment room designed for the use of delicate instruments--the electron microscope and diffraction grating spectrograph. An isotope area is also equipped for work with radioactive material...
...enroll in Chemistry 2, expecting a tough and boring semester of inorganic chemistry. By January they know that they were right about the course's toughness, but few call it uninteresting. Associate Professor Leonard K. Nash enlivens his courses by sprinkling lectures with graphic experiments. Tinker toys show the electron configurations of the elements to Natural Science 4 students, and Nash proves the explosive quality of hydrogen by turning a flamcthrower on soap bubbles filled with...
...Transistors, the tiny, tubeless gadgets that do the work of much larger electron tubes and last almost indefinitely, will put electronics to work in "many fields which the electron tube has not been able to serve . . . We should not be surprised to see electronic appliances find their way into the home. Air conditioners, using electronics, eliminating motors, blowers and compressors, and therefore noiseless, may lead a mighty procession." ¶In industry, "wherever danger, remoteness or discomfort preclude the presence of a human observer, the industrial television camera can take his place." ¶In education, "schools . . . may employ their TV sets...
...This country's use of electricity," he points out, "has been doubling every decade since 1900, and is now doubling again." To keep Westinghouse doubling with it, Price has already spent $230 million on expansion, has earmarked $200 million more for the next three years. "We had the electron," says Appliance Boss McKibben, and Price supplies "the imagitron and the goositron...
...laboratory will not go into use until the spring semester, when facilities for research in solid-state physics and electron physics will be moved into the third floor from neighboring buildings...
