...even had an order. When the Government finally asked Ford to put up a Pratt & Whitney plant, he figured that OPM had set its sights too low, left one end of the building open for extensions. Without any nod from Washington, he turned an engineer loose on a V12 liquid-cooled engine of his own. He started putting up Willow Run on the sole basis of a relatively small order for sub-assemblies...
...soft-eyed, soft-voiced people of Madagascar speak a liquid language in which there is no word for time. Under French administration, however, most of the Malagasy (as ethnologists call them) have had a few years' schooling. Some have even taken posts in the Colonial Government and learned the European world view. They know what time is. and how fast it can run. Last week they wondered how Madagascar fitted into the Axis time scheme...
...this current Rabinowitch arranged a simple device. "If now two metal electrodes are immersed in such a solution," he explained last week, "and if the liquid around one electrode is illuminated and the other is kept dark, the system becomes a galvanic cell in which chemical energy, formed by the conversion of light, is itself immediately converted into electrical energy." Galvanic cells and batteries-usually making current from the slow dissolving of zinc in sulfuric acid-are not uncommon, but Rabinowitch's is unique in that it will never wear...
...partly full of helium II is lowered part way into a bath of the same liquid, the levels within and without come gradually ... to the identical height, as if there were a perforation in the cup or a siphon over its rim-but there is no siphon and there is no perforation," writes Physicist Karl Kelchner Darrow of the Bell Telephone Laboratories in Reviews of Modern Physics. "The cup need not even be partly full to start with-it can be empty initially, and the liquid will climb invisibly over its rim from the bath...
When two vessels filled with helium II at slightly different temperatures are connected by a fine tube, a heat-carrying current of liquid will flow into the cooler vessel almost as fast as it would drain off into an empty one. And the countercurrent returning in the same tube will move completely without friction...
