Keeping up a steady pressure and at the same time ventilating equally the two chambers into which the apparatus is divided has been the chief engineering problem. Pressures as high as 60 pounds per square inch or as low as those encountered at a height of five miles in the air can be obtained, but if a tiny hole for ventilation were afforded in the welded steel sides of the machine, the pressures inside and outside would immediately equalize. It is believed, however, that the difficulty has been solved by ventilating with gases already compressed or diluted...
There are now 57 men in the infirmary, 47 of whom have anything from coughs and colds to low-grade pneumonia. The infirmary will have accommodations for about 100 beds after arrangements for expansion which are now being made, have been completed. If the number runs over this among, about 35 more can be accommodated at the overflow infirmary on Quincy Street, Cambridge. Any more cases than these will have to be put elsewhere, in which case the Governing Board of the University would probably meet, and the possibility of closing the school might arise...
Each contestant was on a low small platform in front of a sleeping-tent. Spectators could stroll among the platforms and, if they chose, interrupt the contestants' squeaks and moans, their reading aloud, mumbling, gibbering, singing...
Murray and Budd a goodly number.) In general, the new models taper from rear to front. That gives roomy back seats. By widening rear axles, manufacturers have obviated the unsightly overhung bodies of past years. Very few open cars are now made. The closed bodies are slung very low. Triplex and Duplex safety glass appear in almost every expensive car and in the windshields of cheaper makes. Chromium, non-tarnishing metal, is used almost universally in lamp rims, hub caps, door handles, bumpers and other trimmings. Body colors are subdued, more blacks appearing than for several years...
...tank is the gift of J. H. Rand Jr. 'OS, of the Remington-Rand Corporation and was built at a cost of $135,000. It is the first in the country which will be able to give both high and low pressures, for which purpose each compartment is equipped with two doors. The apparatus was constipueted at Akron Ohio, according to plans drawn up by A. J. Van Woert of the Harvard Engineering School...
