...basis of a cable from a correspondent in Moscow, who was standing near Red Square watching the reaction of the crowd as the Red Dictator's words came to them over loudspeakers. During the silence of a dramatic pause in Stalin's speech, the sound of a liquid being poured into a glass near the microphone could be distinctly heard. Tea happens to be the fluid with which Stalin eases his throat when he speaks publicly. He doesn't care much for plain water...
Tires 100% liquid-filled, to weigh down the structurally light rear end of tractors, provide better traction. The 15% solution of calcium chloride in water will not freeze above -20°, reduces bouncing and sidewall buckling, requires little care because water will not diffuse through an inner tube as air does. The liquid distributes pressure to all parts of the tire, unlike a solid filler. The tire was developed by Goodyear, is not yet on the market...
...Smithsonian Institution and a tire less inventor of solar-energy machines. His newest eliminates many of the circulation pipes which made older models clumsy, costly, tricky. A concave cylindrical mirror, clockworked to follow the sun, focuses the solar rays on a vacuum-insulated tube filled with a heat-absorbing liquid such as black petroleum. As the petroleum heats, it rises to a reservoir, from which cool petroleum then descends into the heating element by gravity. As the reservoir gets hotter, it can be used for cooking, generating steam and even refrigerating (by the absorption method). In a large ma chine...
Next year's air-cooled engine (for 1943's planes) seems likely to be the 3,000 horsepower radial. Among liquid-cooled makers, Lycoming and Continental are working hard on engines that some airmen hope will be good for pursuit. Henry Ford is plugging at two different high-powered, liquid-cooled engines (besides air-cooled Pratt & Whitneys, which he is making on contract). Allison has been long at work on a 24-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that should develop around 2,400 h.p. The experimental Allison's cylinders are grouped in a W over two-geared crankshafts...
...average U.S. citizen, this engine competition spells good enough news. Interested in the air-cooled v. liquid-cooled controversy only as a healthy contest, all he wants to see is U.S. planes that will fly faster, higher and farther than anything anyone else can make. In the bomber field, the U.S. is already there. Among the fighters, its P47 may be there, or nearly. At the great horsepower training table, in short, U.S. plane designers are getting plenty of soup, whatever the flavor...
