Final check, weather device. Washington, D.C., Sept. 13. L.L. Stockman, also of the Bureau of Standards, Radium Division, uses a wave meter to check the radiometeorograph before attaching it to the parachute and the balloon. When the inflated bag breaks, which it usually does after several hours flying, the instrument is parachuted to the ground. Many times the instrument is found and returned to the bureau. The radiometeorograph contains two radio tubes, a miniature dry cell battery and devices which record and send the weather signals which, in turn, are recorded on a chronograph in Dr. Astin's bood [?] radio room.

Government discovers method to preseve film. Folding endurance test, The flexibility is measured in this folding endurance tester. A strip of film is folded back and forth under tension until it breaks, and the number of folds it withstands is counted. Three types of films have been studied, termed accoring to the chemical process of making them, acetate, viscose, and nitrate. The acetate base proved to be very stable on heating and is considered suitable for permanent records if properly made. The nitrate base became brittle quite raipidly and is considered unsuited for record purposes. The viscose base is in an intermediate position similar to that of record papers made from ordinary bleach wood fiber, 7/8/38

Conversion. Copper and brass processing. Many parts and products used by the Army and the Navy must stand up under severe service conditions. Here the strength of a specimen of brass is being determined. The results of these tests enables engineers to select metals that have the strength and stiffness needed for various machined parts for guns and equipment. This testing machine records the tensile of yield strength of a metal specimen--its resistance to being pulled apart. A specimen in the machine is pulled until it breaks, and the load necessary to break is recorded. A meter attached to the specimen measures the amount of stretching.

Bureau of Standards breaks up plates for a reason. Washington, D.C., May 23. Just about everything manufactured in this country is made the subject of tests in the Bureau of Standards here. Even the dinner plates used in restaurants go through a series of tests in order that the government may known just how long it can expect them to last in usage. R.F. Galler, Chief of the White Wear section, is here operating an impact machine to determine the amount of force necessary to cause those germ-concealing chips in a plate. Previous in this test, the plate is ground with porcelain to find out how long a plate may be handled before it loses its gleam, and samples are heated to find out how much heat is necessary to cause cracks to appear in the glazing

America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. An "oil flow chart," showing the course of oil through a modern plant, is being studied by men of an oil "cracking" unit in the U.S., while an expert explains to them the intracacies of the chart. Large oil "cracking" plants, for the rapid production of aviation gasoline and other products, are one of the most recent developments in the refining phase of the oil industry in the United States. Crude oil in these units, when subjected to great heat and pressure, is forced to give up more of its derivable elements than by former methods of refining. The process "cracks" or breaks down the crude oil molecules. In the last eight years since the process was put into operation more than 1,000,000,000 barrels of crude oil, it is estimated, have been saved by the large quantities of crude oil products now being made available to the combat units of the U.S. and her allies
