Magnetic Fluid Clutch, Said
To Prevent Slipping, Invented

A new type Of clutch based on
what is described as an entirely new
principle in mechanics and which
promises to be revolutionary, par
ticularly in automobile construction,
was demonstrated at the Bureau of
Standards fer the first time today
1t is an invention Of DR.. Jacob
Rabinow Of the bureau staff and
developed out of his work on cleo
tronic computing devices for the
Army Ordnance Department.
The new device Is known as the
magnetic fluid clutch" Automo-
bile brakes, the Bureau Of Standards
announces, probably can be built on
the same principle.
This clutch differs from all others
in that the only connection between
the driving and the driven parts OF
an automobile consists of millions
Of fine iron particles suspended in
oil through which magnetic forces
are set UP. The entire mechanism
consists of three elements-a driving
shaft with steel plate at its end
driven shaft with plate opposite
that of the driving shaft and the
finely suspended particles Of iron
dust between the two.
When an electric current is sent
through the particles q magnetic
force is set up which binds the two
plates together as tightly as if they
were held with strong spring clamps
The new mechanism differs from
the old dry friction" clutch, which
brings the gears into more or less
direct contact and the fluid clutch

Western High Cadets Win
Annual Map Competition

A six-man team from Western
High School has been named the
winner of the annual map problem
competition of the District High
School Cadet Corps.
The competition was held Wednes-
day at Mckinley High School with
all eight white high school psrtici-
pating. The results were announced
last night after papers had been
corrected by Col. william E. Bark
man, corps director. The Western
team scored 90.33 per cent.
Second place went to Mckinley
High School with q score of 50 per
cent and third place was taken by
Woodrow Wilson High School with
81 per cent.
The captain Of Westerns win
ming team, Paul Balzer, will receive
gold medal from the Daughters
Of the American Colonist while other
team members will receive bronze
medals. They are Richard Gill,

which makes one gear churn oil
which, In turn, rotates another gear
on the same principle as water
wheel.
Operations of the clutch, accord
ing to bureau engineers, is charac-
terized by extreme smoothness and
absence of chatter" There is no
point at which the clutch suddenly
tightens up to produce a jerk
Clutch slipping Is said to be entirely
eliminated. Since there is essen
TALLY no friction, wear Is said to
be practically eliminated.
The amount of electricity required
Is essentially negligible.
The most obvious use for the
mechanism at present Is in automo-
biles, the bureau engineers say, but
DR.. Rabinow and his associates be-
heve that eventually it will find ex-
tensive application in all sorts OF
so-called servo" mechanismS
These are defined by the bureau as
devices which translate electric in
formation into appropriate changes
in mechanical equipment" Such
devices now are used for power
steering of large trucks, tanks
steamships and aircraft. They also
are employed in power brakes for
heavy trucks and in some expensive
passenger cars, for controlling
printing presses and other power
machinery and in artillery range
finders and high speed calculating
machines.
The inventor has assigned all pat
ent rights to the Government.
