...Farrellmen at this distance. In his sophomore year, Calvin was breaking the tape in 5.4-seconds, and though he never attained his best form during the winter season which closed with the Tri Meet, he is potentially a winner for this event. Green like-wise has plenty of speed. The only man to show his heels to Green during the winter season was Linders of Cornell, who was forced to tie the Tri Meet record to outsprint the Harvard runner. Chet Litman will be added to the aggregate of sprint artists when the season opens, and he will...
...over Germany's rearmament (see p. 20). Considered was the advisability of lodging a protest, a logical move since the U. S.-German peace treaty contained the same military clauses as the treaty of Versailles. One result of last week's European developments: Congress was expected to speed passage of military budgets...
...hand dial to compute the effect of a variable quantity on the problem to be solved. Each dial sets two movable parts -an 8-in. stainless steel disk, mirror-smooth, and a smaller wheel with a knife edge in contact with the disk. Governed by precisely controlled friction, the speed of the small wheel is the crucial factor in solving any problem. A bevel gearing delivers that factor to the "answer table" where the factors from all the integrators are combined and the final solution appears with a maximum error...
...France 25 years ago by Louis Dufay. But so complex is the perfected method that some 500 patents were necessary to bring it up to the commercial stage. And it would not have been possible if the researchers had not had at their disposal the best modern panchromatic, high-speed, fine-grained emulsions...
...Emulsion: mixture of gelatine and silver salt which surfaces the film. The action of light releases silver from the salt, darkening the film where the release occurs. "High-speed" means sensitive enough to require only a very short exposure. Panchromatic means sensitive to all colors...
