...week exactly why motors knock. Quality of gasoline is the cause. With good fuel a pencil of flame darts from the spark plug and ignites all the charge progressively. This occurs in 1/250 sec. With knocking gasoline, the instant the spark starts ignition, the first burned fuel creates sufficient heat and pressure to ignite all the remaining fuel in one sharp blast, before the spark flame can do its comparatively slow duty. Antiknock compounds obviate the blast, enable the fuel to burn with proper slowness. An observation: gasoline knocks occur after ignition, not before as had been generally supposed...

...centre boils, he might do what he wished with electrons and protons. At that temperature matter's subunits dance around each other and coalesce as atoms; atoms break up into their electron and proton elements; and every explosion, every coalescence scatters atomic energy. Professor Compton cannot duplicate solar heat, but with a mighty X-ray tube, he calculates, he can drive particles of matter at speeds so nearly solar that new atoms will result. His tool will be a 10,000-volt tube, five times the size of the tube whose description won the American Association for the Advancement...
...three crews were neck and neck in the first few minutes of the heat when Crew B set up a fast pace, followed by its opponents. Crew B led the other two for the remaining period, finishing slightly ahead of Crew A and a full length ahead of Crew D. On the return up the river Coach Sullivan shifted the strokes of the three crews...
