Nucleus of Ford French expansion lies in the Ford assembly plant on the outskirts of Paris. This plant is capable of assembling some 15,000 Fords a year-which is about the number of Fords sold in France prior to the scrapping of famed Model T. The introduction of the new Fords held up production, but the new "Henri's" are now ready for the French market. La Journée Industrielle, French industrial magazine, has been beating the tocsin, sounding the alarm, warning French automakers to beware of increased U. S. competition. Inasmuch as total French motor...
...years ago the coon-skin coat, at an initial cost of from two to six hundred dollars, was regarded as standard equipment by the sport-model type of undergraduate. Many were entirely happy but a few hopelessly envious and dejected without one. A large number of undergraduates would, however, tell their fathers that everybody was wearing one. Its vogue is passing, even among its erstwhile votaries. It would be pleasant to believe that it was being discarded because it was expensive. I am afraid this had nothing to do with it. Some undergraduate must have noticed that young...
...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 second polarizer and a color scale is produced similar to that produced by the passage of light through a prism. By photographing the display of colors and their form, we can determine the amount of stress applied...

If one compares the automobile of 20 years ago to the present model and then judges the talkies by the same rate of development one can imagine what they will soon amount...
...veteran of the World War, and a noted journalist, told how he came to invent the Robot. "What really caused its invention," he said, "was the need of an important person, to take the place of the Duke of York, in opening the Exhibition of the Society of Model Engineers, in London. Since I was secretary of the organization, I decided to make a Robot who could open the exhibition. After many disappointments, it was perfected and amid much excitement, the mechanical man made his debut...
