Your July 28 article on gliding is excellent. You, your staff and Artist R. M. Chapin Jr. are to be commended for it ... The altitude record of 42,100 ft. was not made in a pressurized sailplane ; the pilot, however, used a pressure-demand oxygen system. Pressurized sailplanes are extremely hard to design and build, and none are in existence...
...alarming problem they have yet to lick: sabotage. Last year, the main bearings of the nation's only aircraft carrier, the Magnificent, were filled with sand and brass filings; last April, a bomber pilot found a Greenwood choking wad of cleansing tissue in the tube of his oxygen mask. Last week the hand of the saboteur struck again, this time at the Royal Canadian Air Force's big Greenwood base in Nova Scotia. Soon after taking off, the pilot of a Lancaster bomber ran into trouble. As he sought altitude over the imposing Annapolis Valley...
...came from the state of Georgia, and 10% each from Fulton and DeKalb counties. With the fund, Spalding and his colleagues have built a five-story hospital with 116 beds (no more than four to a room) and 33 bassinets, with modern refinements such as a central oxygen supply and a lot of airconditioning. Private rooms will cost $15 a day with bath, $12.50 without; semiprivate $11, and a bed in a four-bed ward $9. The staff will include both white and Negro doctors...
More Energy. Houdry's process is quite simple. The catalytic units are arranged in layers in the chimneys, and each unit has 73 porcelain rods coated with a thin film (only .003 inch) of alumina and platinum alloy. This coating is the catalyst, which combines with oxygen in the atmosphere to burn up noxious wastes, and in so doing generates still greater heat...
Heavy enough hydrogen clouds, however, manage to bend the magnetic lines of force into a gigantic funnel. Then sun particles pour through into the earth's atmosphere. Oxygen atoms near the earth's surface begin to glow and sparkle when struck by the speeding hydrogen. All through the "magnetic funnel" the luminous oxygen shimmers and shines in crimson and yellow and green streamers, which are the waving rainbow of the northern lights...
