NEW FIELD FOR THE X-RAY

Philadelphia, Dec. 26.-An up-to-

used in airplane construction to show
up defective materials, workmanship
and weak metal castings, which would
otherwise escape the observation of an
inspector, according to John S. Shear
or, of Cornell, in speaking here on
Recent Advances in the Production
and Application of X-rays."
"Grains of wood in airpfane parts
are brought out remarkably" he said,
''and it is easily discernible where two
different woods have been joined to-
gether, a point of construction pro-
hibited in airplane work. Knots in the
wood are also shown up, as is unsatis-
factory gluing together of parts.
Electric heater coils are inspected
by X-ray and the plates show the
manufacturer where air has caused
the insulation of the coil to disinte-
CRATE, and where the wire will even
tually break"
