...Engineering Department of the Harvard Engineering School, at the present time, is engaged in the study of the properties of electrical insulation. As is well known, electrical engineering involves the use of three types of materials: conducting materials such as copper and aluminum; magnetic materials such as iron and steel from which magnets are made; and insulating materials such as rubber paper, cotton, oils, porcelain, and other similar materials which have the property of insulating the electric circuit. It is only by employing insulating materials that electric currents can be made to flow in the electric conductors. Otherwise, they would...
...properties of conducting materials are very well known and there has been no substantial improvement in these materials during the past thirty or forty years. Also, magnetic properties of iron and steel are very well known; although some special magnetic alloys have been developed recently which have unusually high magnetic qualities with low degrees of magnetism...
...over the hard sand. The car swerved. Driver Lee Bible lost control. The car somersaulted prodigiously toward the cameras. When it lay still, Driver Bible, thrown far away, and one of the photographers, a big fellow named Charles Traub, crushed by three tons of pitchpoling steel, were dead.

...many years ago in U. S. industry that business was thought of largely in terms of great basic commodities. Iron, steel, leather, lumber, copper, flour-these and similar staples constituted almost the entire structure of U. S. industry. That they still remain the backbone, the foundation, of industry is undeniable. Yet many of today's most successful industrial enterprises, remarkable both in their size and in their earnings, belong to the nonessential classifications...
...rate of more than two million gallons a year. Every day eight and a half million glasses of Coca-Cola are drained to their sugary dregs. Operating 13 syrup factories, the company is one of the largest single consumers of sugar in the world. Many a railroad, many a steel company makes less profit than proceeds from this 5?drink...
