Massachusetts Institute of Technology's air-conditioned spectroscopic laboratory in which the temperature never varies more than one-tenth of one degree from...
Research. Of its $2,500,000 endowment, the Daniel Guggenheim Foundation for the Promotion of Aeronautics allotted one-tenth for lighter-than-air study. Housed in a new building at the Akron Municipal Airport, hard by the gigantic Goodyear-Zeppelin dock, the Guggenheim Airship Institute was to be dedicated this week. Features: largest vertical wind tunnel in existence, 60 ft. high; a small wind tunnel for testing instruments; meteorological tower; structural testing room. Chief problems to be attacked: nature of the so-called "boundary layer" of air, adjacent to the outer skin of an airship, and its resistant effect upon...

Year-round humidity will be kept at between 35% and 45%. Temperature will not vary more than one-tenth of one degree from 68° F. The constant conditions are essential. For in those rooms Tech men will try to find out more about what all things are made of than man now knows.
