...building will be equipped with all the latest high tension and high frequency electrical apparatus, including two 500,000 volt transformers. These are of the largest type of transformers made. There will also be a 60,000 volt storage battery...
...Rhodes first discussed the alternating current feeder system and gave an account of the troubles that had been experienced in making the first underground cables for an 11,000 volt system. He classified the causes for the burnouts into two groups: the first containing inherent faults in the cables, and the second accidental injuries to the cables. Under the latter head he mentioned the process of electrolysis...
...possible to construct an artificial language? Many linguists feel that such a thing is impossible, but the international method of writing music disproves this. In all grammar there is a great deal of unnecessary repetition which makes a language likely to be mishandled. Such words as "telegraph" and "volt" can be understood in many countries at the present time. It is possible then to construct a language the vocabulary of which will already be partly understood. The present difficulty is to select one language and to make it universal. By means of such a language travellers may converse with transportation...
This was the second attempt made by Professor Trowbridge to obtain the desired effect with a Crooke's tube. The first attempt, made a few minutes before, was partly successful. The ordinary sixty-volt alternating current used for lighting the building was sent through the primary of an ordinary coil. The resistance of the primary of this coil is one-tenth of an ohm, and of the secondary 6000 ohms. The current through the primary was not stronger than 15 ampheres. The current from the secondary of the first coil was sent through the primary of 25 turns...
