Another sign of the capital-goods buildup was machine-tool orders. Makers reported that new orders in April reached an estimated $50.6 million, nearly double the $28.3 million during the same month last year, and well ahead of shipments (see chart). Said James C. Hodge, executive vice president of Warner & Swasey Co., leading U.S. toolmaker, whose orders are up at a rate more than 100% higher than last year: "We expect new order increases to continue during this year and probably into...

In short, this collection, fine as it is, is today of suprisingly little use for teaching." The Museum as a tool for teaching cannot really be called a truly new concept, but Dr. Reynolds' exacting standards for what constituted an educationally clear display led to a better fullfillment of the Museum's research and educational purposes.
