Conversion. Floor waxer plant. The owner of this small Eastern floor waxer plant (left) has planned for and almost completed conversion of his equipment to accomodate the defense production for which he has subcontracted. This five-spindle drill press, once used in manufacture of floor waxing machines, has been equipped with special chuck and drill for production of anti-aircraft guns.

Government discovers method to preserve film. Scratch resistance, film, particulary the emulsion side, may become damaged through scratching. D. Levinsky of the Bureau is using an instrument which tests the resitance of a film by measuring the width of a scratch produced by a diamond point under a given load. Another method is to put a piece of film in a bottle of sand, revolve the bottle a certain number of times, then measure the haxiness developed. Many commercial treatments designed to increase the hardness of the emulsion have been investigated, 7/8/38

Science and research. Studies of non-coking coals. V.F. Parry, supervising engineer of the Golden, Colorado field station of the U.S. Bureau of Mines is "sighting a coke bubble." This procedure is used to determine if a given coke has changed its properties or it is similar to another coke. One gram of powdered coal is heated at 820 degrees centigrade for two and a half minutes. The resulting "bubble" is then compared with a standard chart to determine its characteristics, as revealed by the shape it has assumed. This research is part of a project to find ways of improving the quality of coke from western coal
