The word quartet implies an association with music but the article doesn’t mention that. If so it would be a sight and sound worthy of a Southpark episode.
Lost Cord Quartet Have Artificial Voices
Pour men deprived of their vocal cords, but with their voices restored by an artificial larynx, formed the odd quartet, at left, as they met for a chat at St. Petersburg, Fla. The device transmits to the mouth the tone of an electrically vibrated reed, which the lips and tongue can modulate into the sounds of speech.
She sure does love his Prince Albert…Where exactly is her hand?
This ad is really dirty even without the modern meaning of Prince Albert: “Women love the looks of a pipe in a man’s mouth.”
Just look at that reaction— to the attraction of P.A.
P.A. means Pipe Appeal
Women love the looks of a pipe in a man’s mouth. They call it “impressive”.. .”smooth.” Like crisp linen, fine leather, good tweeds, a pipe is smart, manly, and…so comfortable!
P.A. means Prince Albert
Insure your PIPE APPEAL by loading that pipe with PRINCE ALBERT. Its fine fragrance makes your pipe smell as good to her as it looks. And your tongue will say “thanks!” for P.A.’s wonderful mildness. The real flavor of fine tobacco—and so gentle to your tongue.
P. A. is swell for roll-your-owns too. Crimp cut clings to the paper…rolls quick, easy, and firm.
THE NATIONAL JOY SMOKE
This is the birth of the airplane black box. Doesn’t look all that sturdy, does it?
Recorder Logs Flight
Flight analyzers installed on passenger planes of a leading American air line will record the craft’s altitude during flight, the amount of time a “gyro” or automatic pilot is in use, and the number and time of radio reports to the ground. In case of a crash, the records may help shed light on the cause.
My siblings and I would have loved a room like this. I do have a minor quibble with the characterization of a 12×18 as “minimal”. That’s bigger than any room in my house by quite a bit.
Toys and Ideas Fill Kids’ Rumpus Room
A MODEL playroom—a child’s dream world from floor to ceiling—has been designed by architect Joseph Aronson for the American Toy Institute, research division of Toy Manufacturers of U.S.A., Inc. The idea of the 12- by 18-foot model room is to get the most out of maximum play area in minimum space in a way that the average home owner can duplicate, either in a whole room or in a corner of a bedroom. The model emphasizes elevated play areas and ample, easy-to-reach toy-storage space. A linoleum floor with inlaid patterns avoids the splinter hazard and doubles as a hopscotch field. Dust-catching decorations and sharp corners are eliminated, and bright colors add the finishing touch.
How exactly does one turn with this thing?
Squirrel Cage for jeeps is this new device for travel over swamps, bogs, soft beaches and heavy underbrush. It’s a continuous road matting on rollers which runs around the body and under the wheels. The Marine Corps is testing it at the Quantico, Virginia, base.
