Although no one suspects Major the Hon. John Jacob Astor, proprietor of the London Times and brother-in-law of famed Nancy, of having taken "Nazi gold," his great journal has gradually become sufficiently pro-German to provoke international reactions. Not long ago that famed "Thunderer," the Times, editorialized...
Described last week in the Franklin Institute's Journal was an electrical robot which, taking advantage of the differences between voltage phases, performs this trial & error in a few minutes instead of hours or days. Designed by Engineer Harry C. Hart and others of the Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, it is a complex but small and neat layout of generators with movable stators, potentiometers, gears, cams, rectifiers, amplifiers, etc. Reduced to simplest terms, a series of potentiometers (low-resistance voltmeters) is set to correspond to the coefficients of the equations to be solved...

By the time Publisher Bingham became Ambassador to England in 1933, Barry Bingham was well on the way to the co-publishership he earned in 1935. Last week 31-year-old Barry Bingham, the late Ambassador's younger son, received the choicest journalistic bequest of the year...
