Only one man did these things and at the height of his sudden greatness wagged an explanatory finger at President Hoover (see front cover).* The keynote of 1931 was sounded by Man-of-the-Year Pierre Laval as he sailed for Washington: "A severe correctional and disciplinary period is indicated...
...within a few inches of the tube. Keeping the temperature at 3,000°-600° below the vaporization point of graphite-Engineer Chesnut could drop objects through the tube, watch what happened in the hellish interior. Wood was instantly reduced to vapor, burning as a sudden jet of gas. Rocks quickly became vaporized, silicon and magnesium gases shot out into the air burning with a white flame. The furnace was kept at 3,000° for more than five hours. Iron was put in. It turned to gas, formed a carbide, remained as such while the temperature was raised...

It donned the red silk ribbon offered by members of the House, and with the contented smile of a Chinese idol took its place on the "End" table in the middle of the dining room, and there remained till it was missed on Wednesday night...

More important, he found that the ratio does not diminish steadily as the length of the arc is diminished, but in sudden jumps-from 1 to 0.94 to 0.86 to 0.80. . . . The changes in subatomic energy occur in lumps, and these changes he found to correspond to the diminishing jumps of Ratio of Arc to Chord. He hoped his theory might link relativity with the Quantum Theory, bring the energy processes...
