...September 27 the two-masted, 87-ton Pioneer left Halifax with 82,000 feet of lumber stowed in her holds and lashed to her decks. On the second day out, 400 miles south of Halifax, a twister traveling north from the West Indies tossed a monster wave over her, spilled tons of water into her hatches...
Across the country, as smart Jackson Elliott could see, the pension wave had lesser crests, and in California spring tide seemed at hand. California the wonderland, California the rugged and golden, lies at that edge of the continent where the migrations that made the nation ended.

There since Depression I has grown up a strange society in which men born in the great open spaces and hardshells with...
Most direction finding is "180° ambiguous," i.e., shows the bearing of the radio wave, but not the source. In the Sperry-RCA device this ambiguity is eliminated by placing two antennas in an electrical relationship making it possible to single out the source and keep pointing at it despite any maneuver the ship may make...
Mainspring of the device is a newly-developed radio tube capable of generating for practical use an ultra-high frequency wave of 500 megacycles that is not affected by static conditions, has a cork-centre bounce, has a frequency that can be measured at distances as low as 50 feet off the ground. Sensitive at present to 5,000 feet, improvements in the tube and transmitter can extend the altimeter's effectiveness to 15,000 feet. As feeler for possible obstructions dead ahead, the present 5,000-foot range would be inadequate because it would give a pilot flying...
