...rest of the world it is a minor phase. The important thing which you seem to have missed entirely is not the dispute itself but the methods which Japan has adopted to settle the issue. There is overwhelming evidence that Japan has made no honest effort to exhaust all possible peaceable means of settlement; that she has deliberately chosen the old-fashioned strong-arm method; that in doing so she has violated (in spirit, if not in letter) her international obligations. On these matters there is a peculiar unanimity of agreement. Now the issue up to us and the rest...
...that of an ordinary house radiator, which is situated in an enclosed room. Cold air will be blown into this room, heated by the radiator, and then distributed to all parts of the chapel by a large number of branching pipes. The draught will be forced by a huge exhaust fan, which has been placed in the tower and will draw the air up through the building and out through the tower. There is also a smaller radiator in another enclosed room, under the choir, for use in heating that part of the building when it is unnecessary to heat...
...noise is comparatively slight. Last week Eastern Air Transport, whose Condor biplanes are powered by geared Conqueror engines, adopted a muffler which was said to reduce engine noise by 70% without loss of power. The muffler, developed by the company's Chief Engineer Ralph G. Lockwood, consists of an exhaust manifold more than twice the size of the regular type, inside which is a stationary screw which causes the gases to spin about and travel 48 ft. before being released...
...line at 200 m. p. h., crashed its pilot to death. No satisfactory explanation of the tragedy was ever reached; but many onlookers, including David S. Ingalls, Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Aeronautics, suspected carbon monoxide. The same hazard-odorless, colorless CO gas from the engine exhaust, soaking into the pilot's blood until lack of oxygen overcomes his senses-may have caused many another unexplained crash. Secretary Ingalls soon put in motion a thorough study of the hazard by the Bureau of Medicine & Surgery and the Navy's Bureau of Aeronautics...
...found, as expected, that cabin planes were free of the CO menace, as exhaust gas cannot enter the cabin in quantities. Worst offenders were observation and bombing planes, both open cockpit types. Two observation pilots showed an absorption of 15% CO in the blood. A pilot and observer in a bombing plane showed 10% absorption. Such amounts of the gas, if not retained too long, might cause nothing serious; but frequent subjection over long periods of time might sap the pilot's strength and alertness. Exhaust stacks were redesigned to lead the gases down and away from the cockpit...
