Brickwedge, of the Bureau of Standards, have just concluded experiments which have proved that an electric current, cut off from its original source, will flow eternally round and round a coiled tin wire circuit when the wire is subjected to 450-degree-below-zero temperature. The tests were made in a new effort to understand what electricity really is, 31038

A Sorrolla come to life. Small boys who have not seen a shower bath for years splash about at Evian, where all repatriates are forced to bathe before they are allowed to enter the life of the town. This prevents the spread of disease. These baths are prepared by the French Government and the American Red Cross for the exiles returned by the Germans from their side of the line through Switzerland to France

Dams under construction. Watts Bar Dam, shown here under construction, has a semi-outdoors type powerhouse with an enormous gantry crane (to the right of the picture) for installation and removal of units. The project is further distinguished by a control building which is entirely removed from the hydro plant, being located some 120 feet higher on top of a steep cliff and with direct connection to the switchyard behind. The windowless left wing of the control building houses the control room; the tower-like structure in the back accomodates air conditioning, restrooms, etc. The glass wall, upper level, contains the reception room with a broad semi-circular overlook terrace, the story below the terrace devoted to offices

Conversion. Copper and brass processing. Stocks of partially completed lengths of seamless copper tube in many sizes. These have still to go through several more draws through dies on drawbenches. Each draw reduces them in diameter and wall thickness, and lengthens them out. Then, before the tubes leaves the mill, the ends will be sawed off straight and clean. Chase Copper and Brass Company, Euclid, Ohio
