![Starts electric ball rolling. Morris L. Cooke, head of Rural Electrification Administration, puts his approval on seven rural projects which will place electricity in about 7,000 [...] farm [...] homes at a cost of $1,274,000. These homes, in the most part, have never been lighted by electricity. The projects are in Indiana, Tennessee, Ohio, Texas, Iowa, and Nebr.

![Bureau of Standards puts ruge insulator through pressure tests. Washington, D.C., Nov. 30. H.L. Whitemore, (left), chief of the Engineering Mechanics section, National Bureau of Standards, and Dr. A.H. Stand, make a final check of the huge 1600[?] pound porcelain insulator before subjecting it to 2,180,000 pounds pressure in the Bureau's hydraulic jack. The insulator, one of the few of its size in existence, will serve as a base for a 640 foot mast at Radio Station WGY, Schenectady, New York. One of the insulators successfully stood the pressure to 800,000 pounds while the second broke when the pressure was boosted to 2,180,000 pounds.

Government experts discover "perpetual" electrical current. Washington, D.C., March 10. Dr. F.B. Silsbee (left) and Dr. F.G. 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, 3/10/38
