...with some 81,000,000 ingots a year, has about half the world's steelmaking capacity. No foreseeable peacetime boom is likely to strain it. But for purposes of war, U. S. steel capacity is mostly of the wrong kind. Of its enormous furnace power, 90% is open-hearth, for run-of-the-mill steel. Only 2% is in electric furnaces, which are hotter, can be more precisely controlled, turn out steel ingots of the finest grade. Many an aircraft part, the guts of internal combustion engines, light armor plate for tanks, tools for Defense industry must (or should...
...generally agreed upon, and Dean Landis' Plan seems to offer the germ of the solution. If adoption of the proposal and the suggested method of financing it prove feasible after investigation, the graduate students will be promoted from their present orphan status to their rightful place around the University hearth...
...become almost a NATIONAL FESTIVAL, peculiarly appropriate for an expression of gratitude to God, and an acknowledgment of dependence upon Him for His bounties, and productive of a treasure of pleasing reminiscences, connected with the joys of our childhood, and the maturer, but more exquisite delights of our own hearth-sides, where parents and children, brothers and sisters, and all the loved objects of the family group renew, at the festive board, the vows of affection, exchange kind greetings, and revive recollections of the past to enliven the present; while the pilgrimage of life is brightened and sweetened by innocent...
...bobbed up from behind a boulder. It was Author Sanderson's shadow. The cave's incline steepened; he slid down & down. The darkness and rank smell thickened. Then he was standing among the carcasses of old crabs that had crawled down there to die. A half-buried hearth revealed charcoal; around it were large bones-a fugitive's, perhaps...
...coal problem, the Army's answer is the Columbia River's Bonneville Dam. (But Administrator Paul Raver boasted last week at the White House that demand for Bonneville power is currently twice its output.) Instead of coal (used in blast furnaces for iron-making, in open hearth furnaces for steel), West Coast steel plants would depend on electric furnaces fueled by new Bonneville generators to process iron ore (or scrap) directly into steel. A January 1938 War Department publication noted that stainless and other special electrolitic steels for war purposes are "peculiarly adapted for production in the Pacific...
