Major drawback of Diesel engines ever since Rudolf Diesel built the first in Germany 42 years ago has been their heftiness. Although the oil a Diesel burns is cheaper than gasoline and its principle of igniting fuel by heat developed through compression is more efficient than using a spark, the strength required to withstand high internal pressures has made Diesels expensive as well as heavy. Engineers have long tried to make fuel savings offset weight, size and cost, but noticeable success was achieved only in Germany, where Diesels light enough to power the Hindenburg were developed. Last week, however, famed...
Hobart Lerner '40, and Sparks Sorlien '38 are entered in the 300. With six or seven in a heat, these boys will have diffculty getting the lead at the start, let alone keeping it with such stars as Roderkirchen, O'Sullivan, and Carlsen running. Sorlien is also entered in the dash event. He and Bobbie Gammons '39 will have to beat Marty Glickman, Ben Johnson, and Eulace Peacock to win, and observers are not overly optimistic...
Injury by heat, X-rays or mechanical means also caused the hormones to be released, and they were obtained not only from yeast cells but from liver, kidney, embryo and other tissues. Dr. Sperti therefore decided that he had come upon a general phenomenon associated with cell injury. Since one effect of the hormone was to multiply cells rapidly, it seemed possible that unknown hormones of the same type might be the cause of the unhealthy cell proliferation which constitutes cancer. But since the fluid from radiated yeast brought about normal, not abnormal cell proliferation, the prospect arose of using...
...entitled "Heat and Its Control," shows the uses of insulation in houses and elsewhere, while the other deals with the metallurgy and the manufacture of wrought iron pipe...
This film, put out by the Johns Manville Company, shows the insulation of houses and the uses of insulation in solving other problems of heat control. It is reported to be notable for its clear exposition and demonstration of the physical principles involved and should be of popular scientific interest...
