Bureau of Standards speeds up photomicrography with new apparatus. Washington, D.C., Aug. 18. By means of this new apparatus just designed by the metallurgical divisions of the National Bureau of Standards, it is now possible to make 700 micrographs per working day of the structural effect of corrosion on cross sections of metallic specimans. This new machine uses roll film of 900 negatives at one loading, thus dispensing with the repeated loading and unloading of individual film holders by which method the Bureau was only formerly able to make 12 micrographs per working day. Willard H. Mutohler, one of the designers of the apparatus is hown photographing the corrosion on airplace materials, 8/18/37

New oversize trailer for war workers. Here's an answer to the problem of transporting defense workers to outlying industrial plants: It's the new oversize bus trailer made almost entirely of non-critical materials which held its Washington premier April 13. Hauled by an ordinary one-and-a-half-ton truck tractor, it holds 141 persons, and was designed and built by the Office of Defense Transportation and War Production Board (WPB) officials with the cooperation of private companies. Weight of the trailer is 12,000 pounds as compared with 17,000 pounds for a standard type 40-passenger city bus. The complete unit is fifty-five feet long
