...seats. There, an odd assortment of Londoners amble around the floor, smoke, swap opinions and amateur musical criticism, behave in general more like swing fans at a jam jag than ordinary concertgoers. On some nights the floor is so packed, the air so heavy with smoke and heat that faintings and hurried exits are common. Since the series began in 1895, weed-whiskered old Sir Henry Joseph Wood has conducted every concert. When he and Concert Agent Robert Newman at first insisted on including new and unfamiliar compositions in their programs, critics praised them but insisted that that kind...
...variable star, it is important that solar astrophysicists know how much the sun's energy radiation varies from day to day. The daily radiation output is usually measured with instruments called silver-disk pyrheliometers in which the sun's radiation is transformed into heat measurable in calories. A solar recording station should be high, dry, nearly dustless, nearly hazeless. The Smithsonian Institution has two solar outposts at Table Mountain in California and Mt. Montezuma in Chile. Last week the Smithsonian announced that it would start a new solar observatory atop Burro Mountain, an 8,000-ft. peak...
...flurry of grateful new subscribers. There was another marked customer response to the June number, which explained the dampening effect of hot, thin summer air on engine power, propeller thrust and wing lift; the consequent higher stalling speed; the atmospheric didos to be expected; the effect of heat on pilot reactions. But Air Facts' main theme is the folly of "slow-low" flying: "When the time comes . . . to nose down to secure proper control of an aircraft at low altitude, there are only two kinds of pilots: 1) the quick, 2) the dead." Says Publisher Collins: "No sane...
...much stronger tire by using rayon (TIME, Aug. 15), the makers of cotton tire cord were stirred to action. Last week the biggest one of all, Bibb Manufacturing Co. of Macon, Ga., announced the result-a cotton tire cord which it claims has 25% more tensile strength under friction heat developed at high speeds than the old cotton type. A Bibb customer simultaneously announced that tests of the new cord had shown it would last 317 hours under intense heat, while rayon cord failed at 143 hours, ordinary cotton at 87 hours...
