A dog fancier had an outdoor pen
for three of his favorite breed Of
dogs. They were three fine animals
and he was very proud of them The
pen was in the shape of a triangle,
so feet long on each side and was
made OF nine 20-foot lengths of wood
lattice, three lengths joined together
to form each side. That way each
dog had his own V-shaped corner
and could have little comfort and
room. One day the fancier had an
opportunity to buy three more fine
dogs OF the same breed. He couldn't
resist the opportunity, so the dogs

Now the problem came up of where
to put the new dogs. The fancier
liked to have dogs of the same breed
in the same place so he began to
search for way to increase the
size OF the triangular pen he al
ready had and yet he wanted each
dog to have V-shaped corner. 1t
happened that there were three more
20-foot lengths of lattice that weren't
being used and presently the fancier
had the solution to his problem.

exact thing, for some filament wires are drawn
so fine that they cannot be seen without
magnifying glass.
The drilling of the hole in the diamond is
matter of painstaking accuracy. The process
involves almost week of ceaseless hammer
ing at the center of the stone with needle
impregnated with diamond dust.
Dies of tungsten carbide, synthetic
material, are used for drawing larger wires
where precision is not paramount. Tungsten
carbide is the hardest material man has been
able to make in the laboratory. but it is many
times softer than diamonds. Enough 70
gauge copper wire to enCircle the world two
dozen times can be run through diamond
die before the hole suffers any measurable
enlargement.
Tungsten mot tungsten carbide) is one of
the hardest metals known. But rod of
tungsten three inches long and 81 inch in
diameter is transformed by the diamond die
into a gossamer filament fiftyeight miles
long!
Somewhere in almost every phase of indus
try there are diamonds too lusterless for
iewelry that cut and grind with precious
defiance of wear. Twenty per cent of indus
trial diamonds are used by engineers and
biologists in core drills which bore deep into
subte1anean rock, retaining samples that
form a complete record of rock formations.
Thus engineers can compute whether given
SPOT is safe or unsafe for bridge pier -
method used in San Francisco's triumphant
Golden Gate Bridge.
Stone-quarry operators long ago learned
that diamonds can save them money by
speeding production. The stone facings for
Americas mightiest skyscrapers were sliced
to size with diamond-toothed saws. The

and one-half carats regularly dress down the
abrasive stones used in grinding crankshafts.
Smaller gems drill wrist pin holes in pistons,
and ream bearing holes in connecting rods -
blowing through staunCh metal hour after
hour, day after day, without showing per-
ceptible wear. The factory has one gem that
has reamed 1900 bearing holes has been
recut several times, and is still doing precision
cutting.
These diamonds are not pretty things.
They are somewhat shapeless. and they con-
tain flaws that any jeweler would notice at
once As result. they cost only from $50 to
S35 per carat. But flaws or no flaws. they
have solved many knotty problem for the
automotive engineer
The aluminium alloy piston, for example,
is responsible for the extra speed and snap OF
the modern motor. But this metal is so tough
that conventional cutting tools dull quickly
against it and do not produce uniform and
accurate work.
The diamond was the answer. 1t is in such
operations of superfine precision, where
dimensions are reckoned in the ten-thou-
SdnQthS OF an lnCn, lIldI lHc seHH ID oupachie'
And so it is with wire. America today speaks
over wires, lights homes with wires, gets
music, drama news over wires. The millions
of miles of wires that criss-cross the nation
all had to be drawn through dies - and that
is where the diamond comes in. One-flfth OF
all industrial diamonds are used as dies for
drawing wire.
The diamond wire die is simply gem set
in a metal casing and drilled dead center with
small round hole BY fast-revolving machin-
ery the wire is drawn through series of such
dies with different sized holes until it is re-
duced to the proper diameter. And the proper
diameter, in precision wire, is terrltyingly
