...modern and complete equipment. In the department of Mechanical Engineering are heat engine laboratories, an applied mechanics laboratory, hydraulic laboratory, laboratory for testing materials, cement and concrete laboratories, the power room at Pierce Hall, and the Refrigeration plant at the Medical School. The electrical equipment includes dynamo, research, high tension, photometric, and standardizing laboratories. In addition are several chemical and physics workshops, as well as a laboratory of sanitary engineering, the Cruft Laboratory for radio-telegraphic engineering, the Simpkins ore-dressing laboratory, the Simpkins assay laboratory, and the laboratory of metallurgy...
Professor P. W. Bridgman '04, of the Department of Physics, has recently left the University to join Professor G. W. Pierce '64, director of the Cruft High Tension Electrical Laboratory, at a submarine base on the Atlantic coast, where the latter has been engaged in Government work since last spring. The nature of the work and the location of the base are of necessity with-held...

...Thursday, April 12, the Harvard University authorities offered the Cruft High-Tension Laboratory for the use of the Navy Department in training the radio branch of the Coast Defence, class four, Naval Reserve Force. On the following day, Lieutenant Gawler, U. S. N. R. F., Gunner Dame, U. S. N., and I made an inspection of the premises with Professor G. W. Pierce '99 and found great opportunities here for this work. On the next Monday the class was started...
...forming. After the talk plans will be discussed for radio instruction for those who intend to join either the Naval Reserve or the Signal Corps Reserve and are not yet up to the requirements of 15 words per minute. Professor G. W. Pierce, director of the Cruft High-Tension Electrical Laboratory, expects to be able to provide ample facilities for giving instruction to this class...
