Last week, as result of experiments in the little Pittsburgh "pilot mill." J. & L. introduced a new process which it hopes will give the company dominance of the seamless pipe market. Hitherto manganese, the element which gives, steel its pliability, has been apt to cluster instead of spreading evenly through the steel; now J. & L. is feeding manganese into the molten metal in carefully measured and shaped lots. The new process, says Metallurgist Graham, is like using bits of quick-dissolving granulated sugar in coffee rather than lump sugar. The analogy would be more accurate, he adds, if lump sugar...
...slippery, mischievous Joker, upset calculations, spoiled the most promising hands, was routed finally by a Royal Flush. When the last strains of music had died away, the audience rose and cheered a composer ingenious enough to have knitted fragments by Rossini, Delibes, Strauss, Ravel, Pugni and himself into a seamless whole...
...Wash Tubbs, after the stubby comic strip character of that name. Eighteen years a coach, he can best be identified nationally as the inventor of the quick-kick, as one of the first to conduct summer schools for coaches, and as the holder of lucrative patent rights to valveless, seamless footballs and basketballs and elastic ribbed football pants. All-Americans Ernie Nevers of Stanford and Pat Boland of Minnesota first took grid-iron lessons from him in Superior, Wis. Pat accompanies him from Miami University to act as Hawkeye line coach...
Most publicized feature of General Motors' 1935 Pontiacs and Oldsmobiles are their "turret tops," which are exuberantly compared to the gun turrets of battleships. Immensely strong, sleek, graceful, they are shaped in a single mighty operation from single sheets of seamless steel. To whip them out the company's Fisher Body division has 18 giant new presses, largest of the kind ever built. Glowering edifices of gears, shafting, cable, motors and massive slides, the tallest of them tower 27 ft. above the floors, extend down another 12½ ft. into concrete pits. They deliver against the blanks...
...Chevrolet's special feature for this year is to be found only in the Fisher bodies of the Master De Luxe models. It is called the "Turret Top." This top consists of a single sheet of heavily insulated seamless steel which extends from the top of the windshield well down below the level of the rear window and which is welded to the sides of the body, and heavily reenforced by bows of steel. The special construction of this "turret top" protects driver and passengers from weather discomforts, outside shock, engine and body noises, and eliminates roof leakage. These tops...
