...Polansky saw patients 300 or more days a year, his daily gross averaged about $540. In a day, he could see 54 patients at an average fee of $10, and give each of them twelve to 15 minutes-which is just about what most patients get from most doctors...

Because of the electrochemical reactions that occur inside a battery, it tends to give off internal gases and overheat whenever the charging current is drastically increased in order to save time. The result is a ruined battery. But by following a series of strong charging pulses with a brief reversal of current, the McCulloch engineers found that they could dissipate the accumulated gases and successfully recharge the battery.

The reserves are back now, and graduation has opened holes that they'll be able to fill more than adequately. The sophomores, fortunately, are providing help where the Crimson needs it most--on defense...
