Thanks to the efforts of two Harvard professors, the iron lung has developed from a useless contraption into an instrument indispensable to a modern hospital's equipment...
William Gilbert, who was Queen Elizabeth's personal physician but used his spare time to putter with electricity and magnetism, discovered that when iron is hot it loses its magnetism. That was about 1600. Late in the 19th Century, Pierre Curie, husband of Marie Curie, discovered that-although magnetism is gradually lost with rising temperature-an abrupt change occurs at a certain heat above which iron, nickel and cobalt cease in effect to be magnetic. This critical temperature chemists call the Curie point. These two discoveries underlie the operating principle of a new alloy announced last week in Instruments...
...Institute (Columbus, Ohio) realized that if they could vary the ingredients of an alloy so as to set the Curie point at any desired temperature, they would have a highly sensitive substance for thermostatic control. Experimenting with several mixtures, they finally got what they wanted with an alloy of iron, nickel, chromium, silicon...
Newest gift of Viscount Nuffield, greatest nonroyal giver in British history, is to be an iron lung, free of charge, for each and every medical institution in the Empire. Part of his tremendous motor car plant, England's biggest (which made the millions he gave to Oxford University), the bullnecked Viscount last week put in commission to make the first 5,000 lungs. Estimated cost: $2,500,000. His inspiration: a movie made by Oxford's anesthetics department which he founded...
