Agassiz Station in the town of Harvard will also hold open house during the first three days of this week. Visitors will be shown the new 60-foot Agassiz radio telescope and the 61-inch Wyeth Reflector...
...Prince Is Giving a Ball. "It'll never hold the way it is," said one. "Better put a brace under it." Through ganglia of cables down from a remote eyrie came the cry of an electrician: "The damn lights haven't any numbers on them." A large reflector crashed to the floor. "It's the only CBS color studio outside of Hollywood," said a stagehand between bites on a sandwich. "Those RCA color cameras-four of them-they weigh 500 lbs. apiece and are handled by one to four men. We take weight lifters and make cameramen...
...seven years of debate, will give Berlin's famed Philharmonic Orchestra a new home in an irregularly shaped, eight-sided structure that will place the musicians in the center, group listeners around them in a full circle. To spread the music equally in all directions, a concave sound reflector will be hung over the orchestra.

When a meteor-even if it is no bigger than a grain of sand-hits the earth's atmosphere, it leaves a long trail of ionized particles 60 miles up. Radio communications men have known for years that these trails act as wave reflectors, and they have tried to use them to make certain very short waves, which normally stop at the horizon, carry messages far around the curve of the earth. Chief difficulty was that most of the ionized trails last only a second or so. Before one of them could be located and used as a reflector...
