...workers, pedestrians in city streets and all men with sensitive tympanums, pricked their ears to words of Engineer A G. Bissell, speaking last week before the U. S. Air Maintenance Conference at Mitchel Field, L. I. Said Engineer Bissell: "Engineering tests have proved that electrically welded joints in structural steel are much stronger than riveted joints. The advancement in electric welding is making possible the use of the process on a large as well as a small scale. Only a few further steps in this advancement are needed before it will be practicable to build rivetless skyscrapers, thereby silencing...
...single goal for the University was made by Driggs early in the game, but was offset soon after the start of the second period by Steel for Amherst, who scored from a hard scrimmage in front of the goal...

...Exact calculation shows that if we had five trillion cables of steel, each a foot in diameter and the steel capable of lifting thirty tons to the square inch of the cross section, this whole giant forest of steel cable would be stretched to the breaking point to hold the moon in its orbit about the earth. To hold the earth in its orbit about the sun would require an 11-inch cable of such steel on each square foot of hemispherical cross section of our globe, which practically would cover the earth's surface with such a forest...
Through the booths the public wandered, goggling and prying, shyly stroking, timidly querying about improved sugar filters, acid-proof sewer ware, glass-enameled steel goods ("No, madam," said the guardian of a huge sea-blue bowl of this material, "we did not make the goldfish"), monstrous cauldrons and crushers and carborundum refractories that industrial chemists use in their vast necromancies. A glum coterie stood before ranged vials of "industrial alcohols." Twin spirals of galvanized iron whirled at different speeds in glassed boxes, proving to the eye how much less hot air is lost from heat pipes when they are properly...
