Another honor bestowed at last week's meeting was the James Douglas medal for distinguished achievement in non-ferrous metallurgy, awarded to handsome, white-whiskered George Cameron Stone, 75, member of the Institute since 1880, retired since 1929 from New Jersey Zinc Co. Mr. Stone trooped all over the world keeping track of improvements in zinc metallurgy, held eight important patents of his own. As well known to art collectors as to metallurgists, he has one of the world's finest collections of ancient armor and arms, especially Persian, has presented many a treasured piece to Manhattan...
...Copper Co. of Arizona (TIME, Feb. 18), most people thought it was the only suitor. Last week it was learned that there was another. American Smelting & Refining, which Simon Guggenheim took over from his brother Daniel in 1919 and built into one of the world's biggest non-ferrous metal smelters & refiners, had bought a big block of stock in United Verde earlier than Phelps Dodge. Last week in Manhattan the two suitors rushed to a meeting of United Verde's 33 stockholders to learn who had won the bride...
Through work on a book on Engineering Materials, with chapters on Testing machines; iron--gray, malleable, wrought, alloy; carbon and alloy steels; heat treating; non-ferrous metals and alloys; copper, tin, nickel, lead, zinc, aluminum, etc., I have come in contact with many products and processes. In spite of the depression, there is marked activity in research work, and as there is activity in this field, then this is the one to train students to enter, instead of in the already overcrowded ones...
...research has characterized the school for many years some being carried on in intimate contact with the industries and aiming as the solution of specific problems. At the present time, research is being conducted on the losses in insulating materials at radio frequencies, magnetic shielding stirring effects in non-ferrous furnaces mechanical and electrolytic rectifiers, ionization of gas films development of a precision bridge for dielectric measurements at low power factors, dielectric losses in various types of power cables creepage of insulators char acteristics and design of current transformers, insulating properties of various kinds of wood, and many more.
