Four Rotating Magnets Run Clock.
NO MATTER how closely you listen, you can’t hear this clock tick because four rotating magnets have replaced the old gears, making the clock “tickless.” The mechanism of this new timepiece, shown below, is made up of four magnetic fields. One rotates every second; one each minute; the third each hour; and the fourth operates the hour hand at the rate of one revolution every twelve hours.
The new clock must be set face up on a table or support because the mechanism doesn’t function properly when hung on a wall or placed on the mantel.
HOW AN OFFICE BUILDING OPERATES
Prepared by the Armstrong Cork Company, makers of Industrial Insulations, in cooperation with the National Association of Building Owners and Managers
Below ground, a modern office building is a beehive of activity. There you’ll find electrical, plumbing, and carpenter shops, employees’ locker rooms, control centers, and even a garage. Down deep in the basement, too, are the boilers and compressors that supply heat and refrigeration for the entire building. Read the rest of this entry »
The Secret Keepers
The latest methods of radio communications defy detection by any listener —friend or foe
By KEN GILMORE
MOST radio communications systems are like “party lines”—anyone can listen in. But electronics scientists have been working overtime to come up with the equivalents, radio-wise, for the more desirable (and costly) “private lines.” Their objective: to allow our military and government officials to transmit secret information on the air with the full assurance that it can be “received” only by those listeners it is intended for.

VIOLET-RAY LAMP PROBES NOSE TO CURE HAY FEVER
SUNBURNED backs, as all know, may now be had from a “health lamp”; but here we have a mercury-vapor lamp in a quartz rod, small enough to pass up the nose and sunburn its inside. Four out of five cases of “hay fever” are cured.

This IBM physicist is working to reduce the cost of data processing even more – before some other company does.
Back in 1950, the cost of processing 35 thousand computer instructions was one dollar. Today, one dollar processes 35 million instructions.
What has driven the cost down? The work being done by IBM’s Dr. Sol Triebwasser and his associates may give us a clue.

Device Shows Bus Location
LONDON Transport plans to try an experiment never before attempted anywhere in the world, and if successful for regular use, will give the main office of a bus transportation company a “picture” of the city’s moving buses.
Each bus will carry on its roof a coil of wire through which will pass an alternating current. At certain fixed points a wire will be suspended across the road where the bus will pass. As it passes, it induces a current in the wire which in turn records the passing on the “clock.”

All About Ham Nets
By George Hart, W1NJM
Yes, there’s a place for organized “rag chewing,” but the byword of most ham nets is “service.”
ALL over the amateur radio bands you can hear them—between 500 and 1,000 groups of operators calling themselves “nets.” You might hear, for example, one station say: “Old man, you’re interfering with the Podunk Net. Wonder if you’d mind standing by or moving to another frequency so we can clear our traffic.” Read the rest of this entry »
