...down-at-the-heel, it is due to the speed we are making in recovery...
Probing deeper into the mysteries of the atom, Dr. L. R. Van Wert of the Graduate School of Engineering has devised a new method of investigating the atomic structure of metal alloys. The effects of pressures as high as 20,000 atmospheres on the speed with which certain alloys undergo agehardening are studied in his process...
Dentist Klein went home to Cleveland, gave up his practice, settled down to work out an automatic photographing device with emphasis on speed. The machine which Dr. Klein perfected last month was exhibited to Clevelanders last fortnight. He and his associates, organized as Photomatic Corp. of America, are to start producing it this week at the rate of 100 per month...
Twenty-five seconds after a Photomatic customer in the booth deposits 25? and pulls a lever, his finished picture, framed in light metal, drops out into a receptacle. This speed is accomplished by exposing three-inch circles of sensitized paper already framed. Immediately after exposure the discs are shot into a developing chamber, sprayed by six chemicals which develop a positive print. The print is not quite dry when the ejecting mechanism shoots it out to the customer...
...other man. Before the National Academy of Sciences last spring, Astronomer Hubble put the limit of the visible universe at 300,000,000 light-years from Earth (TIME, May 7).* Later he extended the limit to 400,000,000 lightyears. Last week he reported catching on a high-speed photographic plate the faint impression of a galaxy of stars 500,000,000 light-years away...
