Preliminary studies at the new laboratory, Dean Clifford states, have definitely shown that inlet boxes and ducts commonly used with commercial fans may reduce the capacity of the fan by as much as 50 per cent, and that simple adjustments can result in large savings. Further studies are to consider the effect of air pulsations on fan performance, a subject which is now being considered by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers. The performance of axial flow fans is also being studied in detail...
...soon as he made his readings of cosmic rays above Mexico, he dashed for a north-bound train. At Kansas City he said good-by to Mrs. Compton and Alan. They proceded to Chicago & home, he to Winnipeg. He wants to get to Chesterfield Inlet north of Churchill in time to note what the solar eclipse does to cosmic rays near the North Magnetic Pole. In his dash Professor Compton hastened past the U. S. Aerological Station at Ellendale, N. D. Thereby he just missed conjunction with his fellow Nobel Laureate, Dr. Robert Andrews Millikan of California Institute of Technology...
...Lindbergh centrifuge the reservoir for blood is a conical chamber resembling an ocarina. Piercing the butt end and extending almost to the apex is a thin tube with an adjustable inlet. By means of the inlet arm the "ocarina" is fixed horizontally to a vertical reservoir of replacement fluid. As the machine rotates and produces a centrifugal force up to 650 times gravity, the corpuscles settle out of the blood. Replacement fluid flows into the "ocarina" chamber, dilutes the original fluid which flows off through a vent. In a first test of 15 minutes Col. Lindbergh demonstrated that only...
...chief interest of the occasion lies in the new note which he strikes in such pictures as 'Midsummer,' 'Old Wharves,' 'Fog' and 'The Inlet.' He paints with increased breadth and force, without forgetting the sound composition to which we have become accustomed in his work. He leaves the impression of an artist who has taken a decisive step forward...
...Monsignor Turquetil learned to fish, shoot, trap, cook. He became an able air pilot, carpenter, blacksmith, mechanic. He mastered the Eskimo language, invented a typewriter upon which he typed hymnbooks, prayer-books, catechisms in Eskimo script. With other missionaries at Chesterfield Inlet he built a radio transmitter so that Eskimos may grunt at each other over the frigid air. Monsignor Turquetil, bearded nobly and baldheaded, is an able philologist. But chiefly he can gain converts by telling them how best to fish. Says he: "Taking fish out of the net is no easy job. If you take your hands...
