...since automobile exhaust gases presented ventilation problems. The other four: Holland Tunnel, joining Manhattan and Jersey City; Oakland Tube, connecting Oakland and Alameda, Calif.; Mersey River Tunnel, between Liverpool and Birkenhead, England; the Liberty Tubes, 5,800 ft. long, mountain tunnels, sole route from the South to Pittsburgh. Ancient sub-river vehicular tunnels without protection from motorgas exist at Glasgow and under the Elbe at Hamburg. Two old tunnels under the Thames at London have been equipped with suction-&-exhaust fans. First tunnel to require a new type of ventilation was the 8,463-ft. commuter-used Holland...
...basement of the new laboratory, will be rooms for high-pressure experimentation, for x-ray apparatus, and for research in high frequency and vacuum tubes. Beneath this will be a sub-basement where there will be a special x-ray work-room sheathed in lead to prevent the filteration of the rays into photographic appliances or other aparatus that they would harmfully affect. The basment is to be equipped with double walls which will prevent outside disturbances from affecting the extremely delicate measurements essential to research. Rooms will be sound proof and of constant temperature. A huge, 100,000 volt...
This idea seems more and more like the sort of thing everybody's been thinking about for a long time. It's been mulling about in the sub-conscious desires of the campus and if it has anywhere come to light, it has only been a kind of wish fancy. Now we want to do a bit of wishful thinking coupled with some real freedom-giving action. Wherefore The Dartmouth comes forth to you waving banners of revolt for the accepted uncomfortable conventional...
...event of its return to power with a large number of seats presumably will continue to move in the direction of a general redistribution of wealth. The trouble with this program is that wealth is created only by productivity and productivity in Britain has been for some time distinctly sub-normal...
...accelerating the motion of protons until they race along at 37,000 mi. per sec. has been successfully tested, explained Dr. Ernest Orlando Lawrence, physicist at the University of California. The new method does not involve the difficult high voltages which have been thought necessary in producing high speed sub-atomic projectiles. Protons (hydrogen atoms stripped of their electrons) are sent back and forth between two semicircular hollow plates by means of alternating currents of 10,000 volts and a magnetic field. As they continue in a spiral motion they gather speed, finally shoot out the end of the tube...
