Edison receives first anti-glare lamp. Washington, D.C., May 17. Charles Edison, Asst. Sec. of the Navy and son of the late Thomas A. Edison, left; was presented with the first Polaroid lighting unit, a lamp free from glaring reflection. The lamp, praised by scientists as heralding a great advance in artificial illumination, employs the regulation incandescent light source as perfeted by Thomas A. Edison but passes the light through a sheet of the new light controlling material, Polaroid, to remove the light waves responsible for refelcted glare, one of the worst visual hazards of illumination, George W. Wheelwright, 3rd. who helped in the development made the presentation, 5/14/38

New machine to speed up statistics of census of 1940. Washington, D.C., Dec. 2. Back in 1870, it took 7 years to compile statistics from the facts taken by census takers, but in the next 10 years, Herman Hollerith invented a 'unit tabulator,' shown on left of photo being operated by Operator Ann Oliver. This machine is fed cards containing census information at the rate of 400 a minute and from these, 12 separate bits of statistical information is extracted. Not so long ago, Eugene M. La Boiteaux, Census Bureau inventor, turned out a smaller, more compact machine, which extracts 58 statistics from 150 cards per minute. This machine is shown on the right and is being operated by Virginia Balinger, Assistant Supervisor of the current Inquiry Section. With the aid of this machine, statistical information from the 1940 census is expected to be compiled in 2 1/2 years. The secret of the machine lies in the cards. The written information taken by census takers is brought in and the data translated into code numbers which are punched on the card, and the legible data is locked up in vaults away from prying eyes. Cards are fed into the machine, sensitive steel fingers feel out the punches, set up electrical impulses, and in no time at all, the card has set down on the large sheet just what statistic from each individual goes in what place

Bantam, Connecticut. Norman Randall, right, bucks Alec Wasdo's rivets in a sub-assembly shop at the Warren McArthur aircraft seat plant. Randall is a native of Patchogue, Long Island, who came to Bantam from Lowell, Massachusetts, where he learned sheet metal work. He came to Bantam in the fall of 1941, and in December married a girl from Goshen, Connecticut, ten miles from Bantam. They are one of the four couples who honeymooned in the new defense homes project in Bantam. Alec Wasdo began work at Warren McArthur at the same time as Randall, but he drives to work from his former home in Waterbury. Wasdo was formerly a bartender, with no previous experience at factory work. He's already decided he prefers it to tending bar
