...understand that I can get a 110-volt, 60-cycle, A.C. here...
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...

The envelopes are made of orange-red fluorescent-treated transparent plastic. The lamp may be the four-watt, 24-28-volt black light already standard with both the Army & Navy. When the lamp is held five inches above an envelope, the latter's fluorescent surface steps up the short ultraviolet waves enough to make them visible, not enough to destroy eye adaptation. The illumination, unlike that of an ordinary...
...upper limit in the best microscopes using light waves). Both can be "blown up" photographically to give in effect 100,000 diameters or more. The G.E. instrument, developed by Dr. Simon Ramo and Dr. Charles H. Bachman, has a horizontal system, is 52 inches high, operates on a 110-volt light circuit, The R.C.A. model, only 16 inches long in us optical parts, is the product of work directed by famed television expert, Vladimir Kosma Zworykin...
