Mainspring of the device is a newly-developed radio tube capable of generating for practical use an ultra-high frequency wave of 500 megacycles that is not affected by static conditions, has a cork-centre bounce, has a frequency that can be measured at distances as low as 50 feet off the ground. Sensitive at present to 5,000 feet, improvements in the tube and transmitter can extend the altimeter's effectiveness to 15,000 feet. As feeler for possible obstructions dead ahead, the present 5,000-foot range would be inadequate because it would give a pilot flying...
...mystery of the Expanding Universe. Dr. Hubble, who collected most of the evidence for expansion (high-velocity retreat of the distant nebulae), now believes that after traveling long distances something in the nature of light may cause merely an appearance of expansion, that the universe may well be actually static. Others- notably Harvard's Shapley and England's Eddington-disagree with...
...Horde," the Czech Republic a soviet, Czech mobilization "Moscow's war mongering," Premier Syrovy a "Communist." Not only does radio permit nation to shout at nation, but radio can also shout a neighbor down. Germany reported a mystery station which blanketed the European air with static during Chancellor Hitler's Nürnberg speech. Similar reports charged German stations with sending out code signals on the Prague wave length to obliterate Premier Hodza's speech. In Germany, listening to Moscow's broadcasts has long been a criminal offense...
...near-fetish in the new army. ". . . We are training under tactical regulations and with materiél that are almost wholly obsolete,'' Major General Lynch wrote in the current Infantry Journal. "There should be no hesitancy in moving at once to a radical revision. . . ." Beneath the static military crust, new tactics, weapons, strategies are in the making. At the Air Corps' experimental Wright Field are such men as Major Carl F. Greene, whose wing designs largely made possible the modern monoplane, whose new pressure cabin is carrying military and commercial aviation into the substratosphere; Capt. Carl...
...lasting value" of the cat, an image of the Goddess Ubasti from the 6th Century B.C. Comparable to great similar bronzes in the Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum, the Cleveland Museum and the Bliss Collection in Washington, D. C., it possesses, as the museum eloquently pointed out, "in a static pose, the strength and snap of a taut bow string...
