To determine whether the injecting tube is in the right space, they make a test flow with a harmless salt solution. If the flow is slow, they confidently go ahead with the anesthetic. If the flow is over 150 a minute, they try another anesthesia...

Looking back on it now, the makers realize that the Castoria could have been fixed up by heating...
Goodyear's new "radio static neutralizer" has a set of electronic tubes that intercepts outside electrical interference and reduces it to less than one twenty-thousandth of a volt. In one test a 25,000-volt spark projected on a radio antenna was so effectively tamed by the neutralizer that the set smoothly brought in a short-wave broadcast from Europe. But the neutralizer is reserved for the armed forces, will not be available to civilians until after...
