...rumbling of trucks that startled Mansfield, Kingston, Stonington and other towns on the New Haven road yesterday was not the vanguard of a traveling circus. Neither will be the bulging baggage cars, automobiles and the general stars of an anabasis that will stream along the Shore Line during the next 24 hours. All the activity will be that of the preliminaries required before the Harvard football team can play the Yale football team in the Bowl tomorrow...
...filaments ended in electrodes, of which the negative one or cathode could be heated white hot electrically before introducing the main current. About this cathode was built another innovation in vacuum tubes, a metal cup designed to repel electrons backfiring against it and converge them forward in a narrow stream at greatly accelerated speed. This stream was pointed down the tube's other neck, a foot long, the sides of which were likewise sheathed in metal to guide the electrons on their way. At the tube's end was the main feature of the invention, the "window." This...
When Dr. Coolidge ordered his 350,000-volt current turned on, a prodigious stream of electrons leapt from the hot cathode, moving perhaps two miles per second. Rebounding from the metal cup about the cathode, they raced off down the 12-inch exit passage of the tube until, when they reached the "window," they were going some 150,000 m.p.s. (four-fifths the speed of light). Their volume was virtually undiminished as they shot through the thin nickel foil and out into heavy, molecular air, where their effects were at once visible and startling...
Effects. Hurtling into a crowded world of molecules, the stream of electrons (cathode rays) bombarded whatever they met so violently that the electrons of that world were knocked abruptly out of their orderly orbits around protons (positive atomic nuclei). Instantly, X-rays were set up in the local ether. As the dislocated electrons struggled back to their original positions they made another kind of vibration, weaker than X-rays and visible as bright luminosities. Thus, as soon as the 350,000 volts were switched on, a purple ball appeared at and enveloped the "window" end of the tube, caused...
...Arme Heinrich" a tale led by Hartmann von der Ane, a German nidnnesinger of the twelfth century. It the elaboration of this story says Longfellow. "I have tried to show. . ., among other things, that through the darkness and corruption of the Middle As ran a bright, deep stream of Faith, strong enough for all the exigencies of his and death...
