Analytical v. Descriptive. After the first year, Supple began to take more engineering, and Andelin more physics and chemistry. But they were both getting the same kind of education-one that does not tell a future engineer how to make a better thermostat, but gives him, instead, all the principles he will need to know in thermodynamics. No matter what their courses, Supple and Andelin learned by solving problems, and the steps they took in their solutions were far more important than their answers. Theoretically, a Caltech student may ar rive at all the wrong answers on exams, and still...
Burner Control. The Florence Stove Co., Chicago, Ill., has incorporated in its new models the first thermostat control for a top-of-the-stove burner. A thermostat automatically controls the gas flame, gives a constant temperature (200° to 400°) to cooking dishes. Price: from...
