...that Hughes had whipped off Floyd Bennett Field for Paris a little over four days earlier, was the most foolproof private plane that ever flew. It had two radio compasses, three radio transmitters (see p. 50), three receivers. It had a Sperry gyro-pilot, a new type drift indicator, robot navigational control. It had a crew of four men trained in the use of all these instruments...
...University of Pennsylvania crew. He can row for miles at 40, can maintain a speed of 12 miles an hour over a mile and a quarter course. Last year, after running away with the U. S. and Canadian sculling championships with machine-like ease, oarsmen dubbed him the "rowing robot," marveled at the power of his arms. But his brawny arms are nothing compared to his perseverance.

...Congress in appropriating for the relief of the underprivileged never intended that those funds should be utilized to slaughter a member of this body. . . .

Described last week in the Franklin Institute's Journal was an electrical robot which, taking advantage of the differences between voltage phases, performs this trial & error in a few minutes instead of hours or days. Designed by Engineer Harry C. Hart and others of the Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, it is a complex but small and neat layout of generators with movable stators, potentiometers, gears, cams, rectifiers, amplifiers, etc. Reduced to simplest terms, a series of potentiometers (low-resistance voltmeters) is set to correspond to the coefficients of the equations to be solved...
