New fathometer used at full speed. Washington, D.C., May 7. Dr. Herbert Grove Dorsey of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey has invented an instrument to secure the precise measurement. The machine sends a sound, pitched so high that it is above audibility, traveling thru the water a known speed, the sound hits the bottom and returns as an echo at 20 times per second. The fathometer is so accurate that a change in depth of three inches can be detected. the indications are made by a flash from a neon tube, viewed thru a rotating disc, the flash of light appearing to stand still and the depth is read as easily as a clock. The instrument indicator is installed in the pilot house (at the top of the machine) and the transceiver (the disc at the right of the machine [?]) is located in the hull of the ship, 5/7/1937

Flame propogation in gas engines photographed. Washington, D.C., Aug. 26. A study of the mechanism of the flame propogation in the cylinder of a internal combustion engine is being made at the U.S. Bureau of Standards for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. A secial bomb made of steel, shown in the foreground, and designed to withstand pressures up to 500 lbs. to the square inch is used to show the progress of the flame and the rise in pressure which may be recorded photographically during the gas explosions under carefully controlled conditions. The camera, where the recordings are made, is in front of Dr. Ernest F. Flock of the Bureau of Standards, carries its film on a drum which may be revolved up to 4,000 revolutions per minute, this camera also records a neon light flashing at a thousandth of a second. The independent effects of pressure, temperature and charge composition upon flame speed and explosion ratio may be made with this equipment, 8/26/37
