...helping to construct a 50-kilowatt short-wave station at Brazzaville, French Equatorial Africa. Another powerful transmitter is to be erected five miles away at Léopoldville, Belgian Congo. Neither will be in operation until next year...
...power economy is no less an advantage, since power is getting scarce. Last week WPB authorized a big new aluminum plant for Brooklyn, a city whose power rates are among the highest in the U.S. Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia also got new aluminum plants. Reason: these cities all have excess kilowatt capacity, and capacity, not price, is the important thing...
Dolomite and Kilowatt. To get more U.S. manganese, alumina, magnesium, chromium, vanadium and phosphates-all scarce and all vital- Ickes had fairly specific immediate plans. He knows of 2,683,000 tons of recoverable manganese hidden in small ore bodies; eight mills and three hydrometallurgical plants could turn it into a four years' supply within five years. The Bureau of Mines has a two-stage process for getting alumina from a variety of domestic clays, shales and feldspars; if WPB would specify this process in future alumina plants instead of the commercial Bayer process, it would save the long...
...Kearny plant was rebuilt in 1940, run for over a year under all conditions. Its efficiency averages over 37%, reports Engineer Harold N. Hackett. It uses 1,300 fewer B.T.U. (fuel heat units) to produce a kilowatt-hour than any steam plant in historya saving of about 12%. "Future applications of the [mercury with steam] cycle may exceed 50% thermal efficiency," predicts Hackett...
Congress didn't trust us this time, and decided to settle the question with a national law. In many localities, the saving of power for industrial use is vital. It has been estimated that "war time" will divert 736 million kilowatt hours for use in war industry...
