...Britain). But Larry Bell last week had on hand only one of the 37-mm. cannon which fire through the Airacobra's nose. He had only one propeller designed for the cannon (which projects through a hole in the propeller hub). Worst of all he had only three liquid-cooled, in-line Allison engines...
General Motors Corp.'s Allison-making subsidiary in Indianapolis has had many a headache, many a delay. This was to be expected: all new engines have "bugs," and the liquid-cooled Allison was a daring departure from the radial, air-cooled engines which had become standard in the U. S. In August, Allison expected to turn out 130 engines, actually produced 80, most of which went to Curtiss-Wright. These still had bugs, were limited to 950 instead of their rated 1,050 h.p. Last week the Army heard good Allison news for a change: that the last bugs...
Brill, known in his Freshman year as "Brill the Barrel" and last year as "Liquid Lew," explained that he "took the vow" one Sunday morning early this summer. Advising the pledge for all his fellow students as a cure-all that really works, he pointed to himself as a staggering example: "Before I decided to follow Babson, what was I?" he asked. "A nobody. And now look at me: I'm chairman of the Brill-for-Babson club of Harvard University...
...Federation-controlled Management. Gathering in the River Plate House in Finsbury Circus, London, they wanted to know why, since Firth was ousted, their once profitable stock had paid no dividend. Chairman the Earl of Dudley did his best to explain. "It's imperative that a strong liquid position should be maintained. . . . Your directors regret that in spite of the substantial increase in profits it has not been possible for a dividend to be paid. ..." He spoke foggily of the dealings between the Steel Control Committee and Sir William, ended with: "In this time of national emergency it would...
...means of a magnetic-cycle cooling technique, low-temperature researchers have chilled certain salts to the astonishing temperature of .003°K. The method makes use of the principle that magnetization heats matter, demagnetization chills it. After preliminary cooling with liquid helium, the salt is magnetized, the heat thus generated drawn off into a jacket filled with helium vapor; then demagnetization pushes the substance down one notch further into the cold. But the limits of this method, as applied to the magnet ism of molecules, have been nearly reached...
