...small group of early-bird amateurs. Anybody who applied got a license. Its issuance was part of the job of the Secretary of Commerce, a very small part until 1920 when KDKA (Pittsburgh) applied for the first wireless telephone broadcasting station license. The Secretary granted it a wave length of 360 meters, continued issuing other stations licenses on the same wave length until...
When the Big Red of Cornell sweeps its mighty strokes through the Charles next Saturday, Spike Chace and the Crimson oarsmen are going to have their hands full trying to retain an undefeated title. The Tech men will be in there too, but their eight-length defeat by Harvard on Lake Carnegie proves they will not even count...
Syracuse's husky boat which trailed in the Crimson wake on Saturday by a length and a quarter will take another spin on the Charles this weekend, but by this time the Bollesmen have the Orange stroke well measured and may easily beat them by a larger margin...
SHANGHAI--Reinforced Japanese armies battered Chinese lines today along an irregular front of more than 1500 miles from Ningpo, south of Shanghai, to Suchow-Pu, in east central China, and Puchow-Fu, in southwest Shansi Province. The full length of the vital Lung-Hai railway, defending Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's Provisional capital in Hankow, still remained in Chinese hands, however...
...august National Academy of Sciences in Washington. The physicist who furnished it was Dr. Herbert Eugene Ives of Bell Telephone Laboratories. For "clocks" he used (at Einstein's suggestion, made in 1907) glowing particles of hydrogen gas. In such particles the frequency of energy oscillations determines the wave length of the emitted light, just as the oscillation frequency of a radio transmitter determines the length of the radio waves. When his particles were speeded up to velocities around 1,000 miles per second, Dr. Ives observed a change in wavelength which indicated that the fast-moving atomic clocks were...
