Helium. The explosion of the 5,500,000 cu. ft. of hydrogen inflating the R-101 caused practically all the devastation. Rear Admiral William Adger Moffett of the U. S. Navy last week pointed out that if non-inflammable helium (gas next lightest to hydrogen) had been used the R-101 would not have exploded. British commentators had already noted this obvious fact, with the implication that the U. S., monopolist of the world's helium supply, had selfishly prevented any of the gas from being exported. President Hoover deemed this insinuation worthy of White House denial. The Department...
Beryllium, next to lithium, is the lightest metal, only 1.84 times as heavy as water, two-thirds as heavy as aluminum. Re-search into means of producing it for less than $100 per Ib. has been spurred by aviation's need of light, strong metals. If a statement last week by Alfred Schwarz, Manhattan businessman, one-time Green Cananea Co. metallurgist, proves true, a great new metal industry may be launched. His statement: that he can, by a process of his invention, make pure beryllium...
