...paper read yesterday to the American Geophysical Union, L. Don Leet, director of the Harvard University Seismograph Station, revealed his entirely new earthquake theory which explains for the first time, shocks originating miles beneath the earth's crust...
They must also have eyes and memories more sensitive than a geologist's seismograph. The exigencies of movie production often require that successive scenes in the same room be shot weeks apart. The most accurate instruments used to record the intensity of light have a wide margin of error; so at least 25% of the factors involved in reconstructing a similar setting depend on the sensitivity of the cameraman. The experts say you have to "feel...
...anti-craft gun will be the one piece of artillery that may survive undamaged," Leet stated, "but there is a possibility that later adjustments to the seismograph may even strip this gun of its cloak of secrecy...
...seismograph enemy gun batteries can be located within ten minutes after they have fired, and can then be bombarded with mathematical accuracy...
...while he was working on the University observatory grounds at Oak Ridge that Leet first conceived of a new application of the delicate seismograph. Noticing extraordinary vibrations recorded on his instrument, he conducted search of the neighborhood and found that laborers were blasting nearby. At that point he decided to investigate artificial earthquakes caused by the dynamite...
