Ericsson and Sholes, already possess
the fame attendant upon connection
Of their names with their inventions.
All save Sholes have been nominated
in previous elections of The Hall
of Fame.
Indeed 1t was not until 1923 that
the magnitude Of the service ,rend-.
cred by Sholes obtained general
recognition. At that time the story
of the typewriter was told for the
first time, in q volume issued by the
Herkimer County IN. ~ Histori-
cal Society. and in September Of
that year q public celebration was
held under the auspices of the So
ciety at lion, N. Y, where the
kemingtons began the manufacture
Of the Sholes invention fifty years
before.
The occasion attracted world
wide attention and for most people
furnished the first authentic knowl-
edge of the identity of the father
of the modern standard typewriter.
1t was revealed at the time that
Sholes, after many years of labor
upon his writing machine, had, in
1873, entered into a contract with
r. Remington and Sons, the noted
gun manufacturers of 1lion, N. Y,
for the production and marketing

Resin-Core Solder Aids
in Wiring Sets

In conquering the problem of radio
frequency, radio engineers and manu-
facturers learned of the Importance OF
using only pure resin Aux for all SOL
dered joints. Tests show that where
acids, pastes snI compounds are used
they either spatter, fume or run over
surrounding delicate parts. This
causes leakage and reduces resistance
in a manner comparable to grid
leak. Therefore, these Auxes should
never be used on radio work.
To assist in developing better sol.
dering, a special radio solder has been
put on the merket in a most conven.
lent form. L. is hollow ribbon Of
genuine tin ald lead, having inside 8
pure resin flux. This Hux is in pro
portion to the surrounding solder ant
feeds out as the solder is used.
