Today the problem has taken a more practical turn. Mathematicians want to separate complex waves and oscillations into simpler movements. Chief use for harmonic analysis is study of the problems presented by the whirls and eddies of air around airplane wings. For example, harmonic analysis makes it possible to measure the varying speed at different points...
Established as a cooperative string of broadcasting outlets, it soon added WLW (Cincinnati) to its list. Less than a year later the new network began picking up many stations in New England, the Midwest. When California's Don Lee Broadcasting System joined, it completed the MBS coast-to-coast stretch.

Unless Franklin Roosevelt chooses to have the nation's most far-flung industry on strike on Election Day, railroad...
