...returns. Meanwhile the National Resources Planning Board fortified the expansionist position with a steel report of its own. (Author: Louis Paradiso, under the direction of Gardiner C. Means.) Taking the long view of how much growing the U. S. has to do, it estimated pig-iron (and ferro-alloy), steel-ingot and rolling-mill capacity needed for full production at various levels of future national income...
Allegheny-Ludlum's capacity (for nine months) is only 451,500 tons (U. S. Steel's is 20,846,250 tons, Bethlehem's 8,601,600 tons), but almost every ton of it is specialized for making high-cost, hand-tailored alloy steels. These are not ordered from a catalogue or mass-produced at the mill, but compounded like doctors' prescriptions to minute specifications. This year, capacity operations in such industries as automobile, machine-tool, chemical and electrical-equipment makers, plus the aircraft and arsenal boom, are making a seller's market for high-cost...
...enough lead, zinc, and magnesium. That was all. Two-thirds of her iron ore and 85% of her copper had to be imported. To feed her highly-developed smelters at Leipzig, Breslau, etc., she had little or no bauxite (aluminum ore), antimony, tin or the critical ferro-alloy metals: molybdenum, tungsten, chrome, nickel. The map shows how conquest enlarged her resources. Fine lines show her post-Versailles boundaries, the heavy line her holdings at the end of year I of World...
...World's Fair site on Long Island, they bored a narrow well 50 ft. deep, lined it with double steel tubing, stoppered it at the bottom with concrete and sand. The capsule, a cartridge seven and a half feet long, was made of a Westinghouse nickel and silver alloy copper, lined with Pyrex glass, emptied of air, filled with inert nitrogen. Among the objects which went into it were a woman's hat, razor, can opener, fountain pen, pencil, tobacco pouch with zipper, pipe, tobacco, cigarets, camera, eyeglasses, toothbrush; cosmetics, textiles, metals and alloys, coal, building materials, synthetic...
...made it necessary to include several unusual features. Construction is being super-intended by Mr. Herbert E. Hanson of the observatory staff. Except for the polar axis and counterweights, the mounting is of Dowmetal,--probably the first telescope mounting ever made of this specially light and strong magnesium alloy. The Dow Chemical Company, of Midland, Mich., cooperated in providing the difficult castings necessary for both the telescope tube and mounting...
