...Cleveland's Warner & Swasey Co. recently polled 251 corporate users of machine tools to see what percent of tools on hand were obsolete. Findings: of 120,864 machine tools in place, only 9.6% were bought between 1936-38, the years of most revolutionary machine tool engineering advance; 67.3% were bought before 1928, are covered with technological cobwebs. Although machine tools make mass production possible, machine tool building is itself a long-drawn-out, artisan-like process, taking up to two years in specialized cases. To make this bottleneck worse, machine-tool builders are mostly small family concerns, with their...
...inch mirror was cast by Corning Glass Works of Corning, N. Y., and ground to within one-millionth of an inch of the mathematically correct curve by Cleveland's Warner & Swasey Co., which also built the telescope tube, mounting and drive mechanism.

...fifty boat and which is second. The crew stroked by Whitney has more power than that stroked by Eaton but Eaton's is smoother and which will prove the fastest is still a moot point. The seatings follow: stroke, Lawrence V. Eaton '36; 7, Hayden Estey '36; John L. Swasey '35; 5, Edward T. Gignoux '35; 4, John L. Lyman '37; 3, Morris Piaelzer, 2nd '35; 2, Eliot Pierce '36; bow, Robert S. Chafee '36; and cox, Edward T. Barker '37. The other boat--stroke, Thomas H. Whitney '35; 7, Mark H.

...88th birthday last week Ambrose Swasey appropriately received a planet for a present. A great benefactor of U. S. engineering (he has given $750,000 to the Engineering Foundation), white-bearded, bright-eyed Engineer Swasey has been manufacturing topnotch astronomical equipment since 1880. His firm, Warner & Swasey Co. of Cleveland, made the 36-inch Lick Telescope, the Naval Observatory's 26-incher, Canada's Dominion Astronomical Observatory's 72-incher, Argentine National Observatory's 60-incher, the mounting and housing for the 80-incher which will be the world's second largest when...
Asteroids are small planets. Recently Director Otto Struve of Yerkes Observatory discovered a fair-sized asteroid between Mars and Jupiter. On Engineer Swasey's birthday last week. Astronomer Struve announced he had christened his find "Swaseya...
