RAPID CITY, S. Oak, July 4.
Civilian and military instruments
men at the stratosphere bowl yester-
day cheered the solving of one OF their
most pri22ling problems nv Or. w. O.
F.. Swami, who left his cosmic ray in
struments to become a glass-blower.
The problem was one of fine meas
urement of the extent to which a
vacuum was being created in glass
bulbs which will be taken aloft and
opened to admit samples of the upper
air that they may be brought back to
earth for chemical analysis.
Measurement of dropping air pres
sure within the bulbs was taken br
use of a column of mercury Normal
air pressure at this altitude is eqiIiva-
lent to approximately 26ls inches Of
mercury
RccnineS Hard TO Read.
This is EASY enough tn read and 1t
IL still plain when the mercury Is re-
dhced to an inch o" less. But when
ID gets as thin as a fingernail the
convex top on the column makes 1t
hard to read accurately.
DR.. Swami came to the School Of
Mines Laboratory here for his glass
blowing project He prepared a T
shaped tubing with metal electrodes
in each end of the branches, the stem
being mounted on the pipe to the air
pump. When electricity from a bat
terry enters one end of the T. stream
of colored rays passes to the electrode
at the other end. and the color of the
RAYS and the formation of dark area
near the receiving electrode shows the
degree the bulb and connecting pipes
have been freed of air.
Rays Change In Color.
Starting with violet rays. as the air
becomes thinner they become blue
and finally green.
Now tests show pressure OF only
one-tenth of a Inillimeter of mercury
left in the column
DR.. Swami is director Of the Bartol
Research Foundation of the Franklin
Institute of Philadelphia. He is fur
nishing for the stratosphere flight a
series of instruments which will re-
cord the directions by which cosmlc
ravs reach the earth.
