...Owing to the great expenditure of fuel on the Eastern Front the liquid fuel situation of the Reich is exceptionally stringent. The fuel allowance for Panzer Gruppe Afrika accordingly has been severely cut down. In particular we can no longer expect that liquid fuel lost by enemy action will be made good...
...picrate, the Navy's chief source of explosives-can be met by a new process which 1) requires no electric power, 2) simultaneously produces another badly needed chemical, salt cake. By electrolysis of chlorides (mostly sodium chloride, common salt) the U.S. now makes about 2,200 tons of liquid chlorine a day. But demand is far outstripping supply: engineers last week estimated that a ton of chlorine goes into making a tank, two tons in the making of a plane (in its plastics, paint & varnish, degreasing chemicals, rubber, some alloys). The new process, announced by Chemical Engineers Arthur Warren...
...Yeah, swell, thanks." Or had it been? The Vagabond plowed on through the snow, clean because it was almost as newly-arrived in Cambridge as Vag was. On December 17 he had taken the train for New York, two days early, looking forward to the usual gay, and liquid round. But it hadn't been the same; the old gang wasn't there and every girl Vag met knew some neat guy fighting in the Pacific, which made him feel sharply his own unheroic role. Maybe he ought to join the air corps right away and get sent...
Besides the aversion of liquid for liquid, wetting agents help break down the aversion (wherever it occurs) of liquid for solid, solid for solid, gas for liquid, gas for solid. So every place in industry where substances must mix, mingle and dissolve, wetting agents are being applied as fast as researchers learn how. They are used...
From acetylene is made Du Pont's neoprene (known in an earlier, smellier form as DuPrene). Acetylene gas is made into monovinylacetylene, which reacts with hydrochloric acid to form a liquid called chloroprene. Heat and pressure polymerize this substance into a tough, elastic product which looks much like crude natural rubber, but far surpasses it in resistance to age, heat, sunlight and gases. Thus neoprene is an excellent material for coating the 1,000,000 square yards of cotton in every U.S. barrage balloon. With remarkable foresight the U.S. Army last spring placed orders or laid plans with every...
