...Schrader concern. In 1844 August Schrader started making diving suits and air pumps, a business that brought him into contact with many of the early rubber experimenters. After making moulds for Dr. Charles Goodyear, Founder Schrader began to manufacture a variety of metal parts for rubber products. When pneumatic tires were made for bicycles he introduced a new valve, now used on 85% of automobile tires. Other Schrader products include metal parts for hot water bottles and footballs, tire pressure gauges, air-hose fittings, valve tools, and the original product, diving suits. The Scovill Co. derived from its purchase...
...motor car would make is something which members of the American Mathematical Society who met at Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pa., last week could figure out-given among other factors the depth and viscosity of the puddle, the weight and speed of the car, the shape and inflation of the tire, the position and shape of the legs. They could calculate something harder than that from sufficient data-the whorling paths of cream as it pours into a breakfast cup of coffee, for example. Factors are what the mathematician asks for. He can describe more accurately than...
...opening editorial Collector Phillips gives his credo: "There is nothing esoteric and beyond the comprehension of the average man in that incessant spiritual activity, almost as old as the human species, which we call art. . . . The machine age promises to provide more and more opportunity for leisure. Those who tire of the accelerated pace of modern life and the furious tempo of its entertainments may turn to the fine arts for a cultivation of their vacant time. In such a belief I am striving year after year to interpret to people, distracted by . . . worthless diversions, not only the artist...
...inelasticity of rubber is useful-in motor car tires, bumpers, airplane shock absorber cords-because it absorbs considerable of the energy which stretches it and transforms that absorbed energy into heat. That is why a continually flexing, moving tire is hot. Pull (not slide) a rubber band between closed lips. The lips can feel the heat. Pull (not slide) a piece of steel similarly (a machine is necessary), the steel will cool...
There he is happy and contented, his keeper reports, sharing a pool in the center of a large cage with fellow alligators who have lived there for many years. Should he tire of his report relatives, two large white goose can help to while away the weary hours...
