...axial flow fans which have been brought to their present state of development largely through his efforts. In addition, he is the Editor in Chief of one of the most widely used reference works on mechanical engineering, and his investigations of the properties of saturated and super-heated steam, in collaboration with Professor Harvey Davis, formerly of the Graduate School of Engineering and now President of Stevens Institutes of Technology, resulted in the publication of steam tables which are almost indispensable to engineers engaged in steam engineering work. During the world war he was associated with the National Research Council...
Professor C. H. Berry, whose major interest is in the field of engineering thermodynamics, offers courses in steam power plants, heating and ventilating, and other allied subjects in addition to an advance course in the theory of thermodynamics. Before coming to Harvard Professor Berry was engaged in the design of steam power plants for one of the largest public utility companies in this country, and formerly was editor of "Power." His extensive practical experience in his field has been of great value in his teaching activities here at Harvard, and has been recognized by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers...
...before Mr. Carlisle called, the President dispatched to three Congressional committees a report of the New York State Power Authority charging private power interests with "gross exaggeration" in computing the costs of public hydroelectric power and "gross understatement" of private steam generating costs-a none too subtle reminder to Mr. Carlisle that any Roosevelt importunity was purely a matter of expediency. But Mr. Carlisle was wreathed in amiability. Emerging from the White House he declared blandly: "I had a very happy discussion of the general situation of the utilities. ...

...meticulous care, favors a double-breasted blue or grey lounge suit, a broad-brimmed felt hat; he wears specially built, handmade German shoes; on his numerous walks he stalks through the country swinging a heavy stick. And 72 or not, like all true Finns he takes his sauna (Finnish steam bath) once a week in the bathhouse that stands on the grounds near his house...
Fire that was believed to be sweeping through Wadsworth House early this morning turned out to be only steam escaping from frozen radiator pipes...
