When this mixed signal reaches the ground, it is recorded on magnetic tapes. In Van Allen's laboratory the tapes pass through a machine that separates each imposed audio tone from the carrier frequency and records it visually as a jiggly red line on a wide band of graph paper (see chart...
Channel IV, from a directional scintillator, measures the amount of radiation energy passing through the instrument's window each second. The significant parts of the line are its depressions below the flat parts: the deeper they are, the greater the energy. The depressions come in cycles reflecting the tumbling of the satellite, but some of the energy is recorded when the scintillator is "looking away" from the direction of the radiation. This reveals that the lower part of the Van Allen radiation belt contains particles powerful enough to pass through the shielding around the scintillator...
Musicomedienne Gray can line-drive a song to the exits, Merman-fashion, but her Frenchy never travels more than one block west of Broadway. Griffith's Destry is immensely likable but far too much the Arkansas traveler to suggest any purpose deeper than palaver. Everyone works hard to prove that everything, except the performance, is a joke. But Destry Rides Again only for the gold in them thar box-office tills...
Even without the big airliners, Lear has been doing well enough. Piedmont Airlines, a feeder line, has installed Lear instrument-landing equipment on eight of its planes, has found it "very satisfactory." Ozark Air Lines, another feeder, has also signed up. Lear profits in the first quarter of its fiscal year ran 33% ahead of 1958 (which registered an 87% gain over 1957) to better than $400,000. The backlog of firm orders was up to $77 million, biggest in the company's history, and a 10? dividend was declared, the third such quarterly dividend in a row. Last...
Mithradates Eupator claimed to be 16th in line of descent from that renowned foe of the Greeks, the great King Darius of Persia. The world he entered in 132 B.C. was one in which royal parents freely poisoned their growing sons to prevent them growing too big-and with reason. At the age of 21, Prince Mithradates of Pontus imprisoned his mother, executed his brother, married his sister and mounted the throne...
