...tall, 35 ft. thick at the middle, tapering up to a slim spire and down almost to a point. Total cost of the venture was close to $500,000. WLW's programs should be picked up by an ordinary set under any conditions within a 2,500-mi. radius, under good conditions anywhere in the world. Other radiocasters and the Federal Radio Commission feared the new giant might "blanket the dial," drowning out less powerful signals by failing to stay within its assigned channel of 700 kilocycles. For months test signals have been broadcast before daybreak while the Commission...
...Radius of observable universe from Earth: 300,000,000 light-years...
...summer of 1822 Fort Mackinac, Michigan Army and fur-trading post, was a rough, brawling, drunken community of about 5,000 Indians, French-Canadians and half-breeds spending the proceeds of their winter fur catches. Only doctor within a 300-mi. radius was William Beaumont, an Army surgeon who meticulously recorded in a diary every medical tittle and jot he performed. For June 6, 1822, the entry, now a precious incunabulum in the history of U. S. Medicine, reads...
Since the Yale is the only similar team the lightweights can meet, it is felt that this one game is not worth keeping the team for. At Yale the situation is different, as there are four other colleges within a short radius which have 150-pound teams...
...electrons (which Maxwell did not know existed) had to be considered as waves as well as corpuscles-hence as abstractions. Reduced to its simplest terms, Professor Bern's latest work elevates them to the status of physical entities. By introducing a symbol to represent the electron's radius, by investing the electron with the four Einsteinian dimensions of time & space (which are handled symmetrically as four independent variables), Professor Born has made the old theory and the new lie down side by side in the same equation...
