Prime accusations: on Feb. 21 Jones & Laughlin was ordered to ship no steel pipe after March 14, except on preference orders rated A-9 or higher. Although the company had not manufactured such pipe since October 1941, it immediately put large quantities of high-quality steel into pipe production, and from February 25 to March 12 produced 570,000 feet of pipe. Only 12% of this total was delivered on rated orders. The rest went to civilian use. Summarized WPB: "These violations . . . contribute towards defeat of the declared intention of Congress...
...Groton Iron Works near by into a modern ten-way sub yard. While thus expanding, Ebco has performed a naval miracle. One of the world's toughest engineering jobs, a sub is a slim air-&-water-tight steel cigar packed with hundreds of miles of wire and pipe, condensed forests of instruments and machinery. Subs formerly took 25-29 months to build. Ebco, through standardization, subcontracting and a no-fooling, 162½-hour work week, has already cut this time tremendously. Last week, when it launched the Blackfish, Ebco also launched a new production record. In their rush...
...Town" was never much on the theatre. The nearest it got to the arts was choir singing. But the New England Repertory production of Willer's play brings one very close to Grover's Corners, N. H. The pipe-smoking stage manager seems to have found his old haunts under the sagging roof beams of the Joy Street Playhouse. Even the milkman who bustles across the stage seems to be making his rounds for the umpteenth time...
...ships, piping takes up much valuable space. When silver brazing alloy is used instead of threaded joints, the thickness of the pipe can be reduced about one-half. It can be installed more quickly...
...Cooler. Hot oil from airplane crankcases is usually forced into air-bathed tubes for cooling. But at high altitudes this system works too well. Air is often so cold that oil closest to the pipe surfaces freezes and insulates the circulating unfrozen oil against the cooling blast. So, to keep the system from breaking down, oil is usually bypassed around the cooler and therefore lubricates at temperatures too high for efficiency. Airesearch has developed a cooler that works in high-altitude cold. It regulates the flow of cooling air through shutters, which are narrowed when the oil becomes too cold...
