Died. Wesley M. Coates, 29, codesigner of a new 1,200,000-volt X-ray machine for treating cancer in Columbia University's Institute of Cancer Research; by electrocution, after brushing against a 5,000-volt feed-in wire; in his X-ray room...
...machine measures electrical changes in the body as small as five one-millionths of a volt. By means of it Professor Burr and associates have been able to detect and record electrically the instant of ovulation in rabbits, cats and women, the development of chicks and salamanders in their eggs, differences between mice who are bound to develop cancer and mice who never will develop cancer, the first stirrings of cancer in mice long before the tumors are visible...
...John G. Trump, 28, an unobtrusive electrical engineer at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Dr, Richard Dresser, 43, an equally unobtrusive Boston Roentgenologist, will soon have in operation in Boston's Huntington Memorial Hospital a room-high electrostatic machine which will produce x-rays of 1,000,000-volt power, penetrating enough to reach any cancer within the human body. The principle of the machine is that of the 10,000,000-volt electrostatic generator which Engineer Trump's M. I. T. teacher, Robert J. Van de Graaff, invented (TIME, Dec. 4, 1933 et ante). Fast moving paper...
...operated. Wood was cut by an electric saw. In the brooder house chicks were warmed in an electric incubator, while in the poultry house hens were urged to extra efforts by ultraviolet ray lamps. Hogs were kept in their wallow by an electric fence which gave them a 90-volt jolt if they touched it. An electric sprinkler system kept the cabbage patch damp...
