Electric furnaces are built on the principle that when electrical energy meets resistance it is converted into heat energy. Well known is the Ajax Northrup high frequency furnace which increases the heat energy by creating a current in the material to be melted. Using this principle, Engineer Chesnut made an experimental furnace of 1 cu. ft. capacity. The crucible was lathed out of a solid block of graphite, a form of carbon which conducts electricity well. To set up the resistance he packed the crucible in lampblack-an obstinate conductor of electricity. The current was carried through a copper coil...
...rest of the cast consisting of upperclassmen and one Freshman is as follows: Northrup Beach '34, V. E. Blacque '34, J. B. Jackson '32, J. D. Kernan '34, W. A. C. Miller III '32, J. S. Plaut '33, O. W. Robbins '34, F. F. Silver '34, R. C. Sullivan...
...Freshman eliminations, contests for supremacy in the 125, 145, and 155-pound divisions were fought. Harold Frankel '34 defeated David Weld '34 in the first bout on a time advantage of 6 min., 7 sec. In the 145-pound struggle, Northrup Beach '34 earned a place on the team by throwing his rival, M. F. Topalian '34, in 7 minutes, 40 seconds. J. A. Potter '34 and Stanton Whitney, Jr. '34 fought nearly eight minutes before Potter succeeded in throwing his opponent...
...dogs kept standing round their benches to ogle them and exclaim when they woke up to gobble huge chunks of red meat. This breed, because of its appetite, is one of the most expensive in the world to maintain. When they were judged, King Lir of Ambleside made Mrs. Northrup Bellinger proud...
...arid Mojave Desert, a queer, experimental bird tried its wings last week. It is the product of the Northrup Aircraft Corp., designed by John Northrup, one-time Lockheed Vega engineer and W. K. Jay, pilot. Their queer bird is all wing-with a 60-h. p. motor and pusher propeller, retractable three-wheel landing gear, a skinny polelike arrangement for flippers and rudders, seats within the wing itself. Indicated performance characteristics of this trial plane are: low landing speed, high speed of over 100 m. p. h., large gliding angle, and little probability of spinning...
