Army Signal Corps
Wiring America
For EIectronic AGE

Miniature radios, television sets
that are almost all screen, a
flashlight with no batteries, cook
ing by radio
These are not the appliances of
100 years hence-they are devel-
opments taking shape today in
Army Signal Corps laboratories.
Army research in photography,
electronics and communications
is producing not only better
equipment and techniques for the
Armed Forces, but also in laying
the groundwork for improved ci-
william products to be turned out
by private industry.
For years Army contributions
in the form of research and de-
velopment have been an impor-
tant part of the country's cleo
tronics industry.
Home televis;on owes much to
Army research, and the Signal
Corps auto-assembly technique is
expected to lead to television sets
that will be mostly screen and to
miniature civilian radios-wrist-
watch size.
The auto-assembly technique is
a wiring procedure that short
circuits time and trouble. Wire
circuits are etched on the chassis
and the etching filled with molten
solder, thus eliminating the labo-
rious task of soldering each unit
separately.
A modern high frequency radio
receiver developed by the Signal
Corps is being sold commercially,
while Signal Corps radio fire.
quency power tubes are used in
railroad dining cars for cooking
by radio frequency.
A 16-millimeter sound motion
picture protector developed by the
Signal Corps has led to marked
improvement in sound and pic
ture quality of commercial equip
ment, and a new 70-millimeter
still camera-designed for COM
bat use-is expected to have wide
press and commercial use.
A New flashlight requires no
batteries and is used by airline
rescue crews, while ethyl cellu-
lose - developed by the Signal
Corps-now is used in flashlight
cases by four commercial COM
panies.
Better and lighter batteries also
are an Army development. A light
battery developed by the Signal

Corps may find use in commercial
aviation and other fields where
weight is important - and new
miniature dry cell batteries can
make possible even smaller hear
ing aids.
The Army even has done some
thing about the weather, for fore
casting methods and equipment
owe much to Signal Corps re-
search. The u. S. Weather Bur-
eau, in fact, evolved from
weather service pioneered by the
Signal Corps.
Radar sets are used CONNER
cially for industrial hurricane
warning.
these and other advances in
practical science have emerged
from the Signal Corps Engineer
ing Laboratories, Fort Monmouth,
N. j., or have been developed in
industrial laboratories under Sig
nal Corps research and develop
ment constracts.
The Army Signal Corps is
bringing the world of tomorrow
to America today.

Friday, 18th. Set off very
early, having nineteen miles to
ride before breakfast, and very
soon I entered the White Oak
Swamp, which continued for
thirteen miles. The mire in the
road was SO deep that I found it
impossible to pursue it without
sticking fast, and had, therefore,
to abandon it, and press through
the dense and brushy forest on
one side or the other. While in
the midst of the swamp violent
storm of rain, with lightning
and thunder, arose, which con-
tinued for two hours, the rain
falling in torrents all the time.
OF course I was thoroughly wet,
and even the feet of my boots
were filled with water. Reached
Williamsburg about noon and
breakfasted, and dried my clothes
as we'll as I could, and proceeded
on my journey, intending to
reach Newton, eighteen miles,
before dark. But night overlook
me five miles short of the town,
and / had to plow through the
mud slowly and carefully, the
darkness being SO great that no
object was visible save the OPEN
ing through the tree-tops over
hanging the road on either side.
Stopped for the remainder of the
night at mean, dirty tavern,
kept in a dilapidated, unpainted
little frame house on the south
side of the main street in New
town, the only public house, be-
lieve, in the place.
Sunday, 20tn. When left
home on Thursday, / expected to
have reached Cincinnati yester-
day afternoon, and could have
done so but for the rains and
muddy roads. But rather than
spend the Sabbath in such an un-
comfortable and filthy hovel, I
determined this morning to push
on to Cincinnati, ten miles fur
ther. Set off at an early hour,
and on reaching the Little Miami
river, two miles distant, I found
it so swollen with the heavy rains
of yesterday as to be past ford
ing. There being no ferry boat
nearer than the mouth of the
river, about four miles below, I
was obliged to Chamber along the
steep hillside and through
densely wooded bottom, there
being no road opened, and not
even, a path. Being ferried over,
I proceeded on through Column
bia, and reached Cincinnati about
eleven o'clock, and put up at
Carpenters inn. Here I learn
that Mr.. Wood, for whom I have
the Governors notice of his elec-
tion, is expected in town today
or tomorrow :"

blue-eyed. Her legs have been ad-
judged the best formed to be
found among skaters. She wears
Sub-teen size z dress and has
such time trying to find some

resorts to having her things

Currently, Barbara's hair is re-
touched to give it a lovely silvery
tone to get soft effect under
lights, which often show up yellow
tints in blonde hair. This pale
sheen harmoniZes well with her
charmingly unassuming manner.
Her reaction to complimentary

Pioneer Travel
Riqors Described
In Old Newspaper

Description of a journey made
from Chillicothe to Cincinnati
brings into sharp perspective the
transformation that has come
about in Ohio since it was an in
FAINT state.
Samuel Williams of Chillicothe
was assigned the task of riding
horseback to Cincinnati to notify
Stephen Wood that he had been
chosen as a presidential elector.
At that time, Chillicothe and Gin
cinnati were the two largest
towns in the state.
1t seems that the roads were
SO bad that it was safer to avoid
them in bad weather. Here is
Williams day-by-day account:
Thursday November II, 1901.
Left Chillicothe this forenoon on
a tour to Cincinnati, to notify
Stephen Wood of his election as
one of the electors of President
and Vice-President of the United
States. In the evening reached
the house of Thomas Dill, about
half a mile below the crossing of
Paint Creek, sixteen miles from
Chillicothe, and put up for the
night, Friday 18th. Started early,
and passing cambridge, pro-
ceeded eight miles to Nathaniel
Willis's at 'Willis's Cross Roads,
and breakfasted. Mr.. Willis was
formerly editor and proprietor of
the 'Scioto Gazette, newspaper,
published in Chillicothe. After
selling out there be settled on
this farm, and kept public house.
In this afternoon passed through
the village of New Market, and
some time befolE night reached
the cabin of Mr.. Porter; where
finding that it was fifteen miles
to the next house, I remained till
morning.

Oil Changes
Saves Wear

Frequent oil changes during
cold weather increase engine life
and save oil says S. G. Huber, ex-
tension specialist at Ohio State
University.
"Oil is cheap in comparison to
repairs and time lost during
breakdowns," Huber says. Oil
costs per hour amount to about
2k cents if it is changed every
60 hours. Cost would go up a PEN
ny if the same operator changed |
oil every 40 hours. This is a small
fraction of total operating costs
about 80 or more cents an hour.
When oil is changed more fire.
quently in cold weather, it reduc-
es engine wear. Reduced wear
probably means less total oil con-
sumption during the life of the
machine.
In cold weather, more carbon,
partially burned fuel, dirt and
water will accumulate in crank
cases. Heavy duty oil, if not used
too long, will take such materials
into suspension.
In addition to changing oil more
frequently, engine operators
should also change filters more
frequently in cold ather.
Warming up an engine in cold
weather will reduce dilution of
oil by fuel.
