...welded product is strongest at its welds. Reason: as the high-grade steel in the melting electrode is deposited, it is protected-as the mill-rolled steel which is being welded was not protected-from contamination by the air's oxygen and nitrogen. These are excluded by another gas formed by the electrode's coating (paper pulp and sodium silicate), which shields the melting metal from...
...after higher operating altitudes. The top-flight aircraft of 1942 will still be able to crawl up beyond the reach of the new 4.7's threatening fingers. But their pilots won't-until aircraftmen design a suitable (i.e., supercharged) cabin. Without more aid and comfort than oxygen can give, top operating altitude for the man at the controls is around 30,000 feet...
...great deal of original work, but serves as a testing field and improving plant for new theories. It is remarkable for its quick application of new discoveries to bedside practice. Some of its outstanding contributions to medicine: isolation of thyroid hormone (Dr. Edward Calvin Kendall); perfection of oxygen masks for aviators (Drs. Walter Meredith Boothby, William Randolph Lovelace II & Arthur Bulbulian); cutting fibers of the sympathetic nervous system to treat circulatory disturbances of hands and feet (Dr. Alfred Washington Adson); use of iodine in certain thyroid diseases (Dr. Henry Plummer...
Tallulah Bankhead went to the hospital with flu the night she opened in a new Clifford Odets show, Clash by Night, in Philadelphia. She was pronounced "much better" after a day in an oxygen tent...
Scientists have long known that glass consists of about 46% oxygen by weight but it remained for scientific study to explain how it was spread out through the transparent substance. Dr. Alexis Pincus of American Optical Co. last week announced, as a result of new X-ray studies of the atomic structure of glass, that 92% of its volume consists of nothing but oxygen caught in the interstices of a relatively scanty framework made of silicon and other elements...
