...been teaching and tinkering at Cal's agricultural experiment station in Davis since 1929. One of his inventions is a ma chine for cracking English walnuts. On a conveyer belt, the nuts pass under a buzz saw which nicks holes in them; next they get an injection of oxygen and acetylene and move on to a flame which explodes the shells. The nut meat drops neatly into a hopper...
...such engineering equipment as ten-and 14-ton road rollers, nine-ton bulldozers, pneumatic air compressors, concrete mixers, oxygen and acetylene generating plants, 100,000 telephone poles, hundreds of miles of wire, landing mats, huts, railroad ties, wheelbarrows-all ready and at hand for Dday...
