...greatest stress which could be allowed in a generator was 10,000 pounds per square inch, at present it is 20,000 pounds per square inch. "This improvement," he said, is due to the work of metallurgists and to the photoelastic determination of stress. This latter method, which is very complex, involves the rotation by mechanical stress, of a light beam in a plane of polarization. The effect is similar to that of double refraction. Straining the medium between the polarizers, which in our case is a celluloid model of the machine we are working on, increases the transmission through...

The Holmes committee is charged with the difficult and vital function of determining some method of restricting oil production. The main committee is divided into four regional committees...

It is such achievements as this, in the face of dubious odds, that bring home forcibly the fact that the University sport teams are guided by men who know their business. The second...

This proposed artificial method, alleged by its sponsors to be educationally advantageous, certainly isn't conducive to individualism...
