E Volume 31 Number 11 Engineers’ New Equation Valued At 51,000,000,000 Formula Saves $120,000 For Westinghouse In First Try Bradford Determines Mathematical Curves An equation which is estimated to be worth over a billion dollars to in dustry has been developed by three members of the engineering experi ment station. The equation of eight characters saved the Westinghouse Company $120,000 the first time it was .put into practical application, it is said. The formula represents the load carrying capacity of a journal bear ing. It applies almost universally where mechanical power is used. It may be stated as: W equals (a/n) squared times NZKY to the -Bth-post er. Simplifies Method In this equation, the value of Y is variable. It may be obtained by an intricate application of higher mathe matics. However, it involves formu lae which would extend for five feet, if written out. The work here at the College reduced it to a series of curves from which it is now possible to read the value of Y directly. . Practically any moderately intelli gent engineer can use the formula now. Before, there were only about a half-dozen gifted engineers in the country who could follow its intrica cies. With the added information ob tained here plus the simplified meth od of finding Y, the behavior of bear ings can be easily computed. It was first put to practical use re cently when Wcstinghouse Company was bidding on some new equipment for which efficiency guarantees were necessary.. Under the old method, the company allowed a four percent.loss for.-bearings.^^^t^QW,;withrthQ ; ap-- plicatioii ’of this formula ttie^com- 1 pany had only, to allow for a one per cent loss, on ; hearings. . This, raised the efficiency guarantee - and auto matically raised the value of the ma chinery $120,000. The mathema‘cjCir< work to. deter mine the curves was done in the ex periment station under the direction of Louis J. Bradford, professor of • machine design. The formula was worked out and developed by two graduate students, Everett M. Bar ber and Charles C. Davenport, hold ers of Elliott and Texaco fellow ships. -1 :^'£££jMl Smith, Linton Elected To Fill Friar Offices J.

Arrested, Incarcerated, Cross-Examined, Released Criminal Record of Wiley '32 Charged With. Sedition. Against Govt. Arrested, incarcerated, cross-exam ined, released. , That’s the story of Donald S. Wiley ’32, who last week was held in the Danielson, Conn, jail, charged with sedition against the United States government. Wiley was picked up while distributing reprints of textile strike editorials from the Daily Work er, official organ of, the Communist Party in this country. He was held, and cross-examined pending trial. Judge John W. Gallup threw the case out of court on insufficient evidence Monday, freeing Wiley. Wiley’s companion in Danielson at the time of ,thc wide-spread textile strike was a descendant of the Con necticut town’s founder, Russell Dan ielson. He was held for sedition also. Both men were picked up by State police when it was discovered that the words, “Join The Communist Party” were printed in small type on the back of the editorial reprints. .. Joel Rustam, writing in the Daily Worker of last Friday, reports the cross-examination of Wiley: Home Meets With Columbia, Navy, Lehigh, Miami Feature Wrestling Card; Red, Orange Matches Away Home meets with Columbia, Navy, Lehigh, and a new opponent, Miami University, of Oxford, Ohio, are on •the 1935 wrestling schedule released •through the office of Neil M.

Venezuela President Awards Medal to Kern A gold medal for distinguished service, accompanied by a special* ci tation from the President of the Re public of Venezuela, has been receiv ed by Dr‘. Frank D. Kern, Dean of the Graduate School and professor of botany. The official title of the award, when translated from the Spanish, has the approximate meaning of “Metal of Honor of Public Instruction.” The President sent it to Dr. Kern in rec ognition of a botanical expedition which he made in Venezuela last May. Dr. Kern went there after being in vited to make tho study by the gov ernment. He was aided in his work there by the government, the Depart ment of. Agriculture, and the Presi dent himself. Dr. Kern went there from the University of Puerto Rico, where he was located during the past academic year. While the United States govern ment usually awards medals for mili tary service only, many of the South American countries make it a prac tice to give medals and citations to all citizens and foreigners who ren der the country distinguished servics along academic lines.

Engineers Devise New Oil Spray Apparatus Professors Paul H. Schweitzer, and Kalmen J. DeJuhasz and Theodore Hetzcl, of the department of engine ering research, have designed and built a new piece of apparatus used for a visible type of study of oil sprays. “The apparatus is particularly in genious and promises valuable cor roborative evidence obtained by tho older apparatus which has marked this as one of the leading Diesel en gine research laboratories in the world,” Dean Robert L. Sackett, of the School of Engineering, said of iL A piece of new apparatus has just been received by the engineering ex periment station and on which a new series of investigations in the Diesel engine field will be carried out. This is a small Diesel connected to a gene rator and equipped with devices for studying “knock” and other features of the Diesel engine operation, in cluding fuel and fuel specifications.

Lions Favored To Win Tilt With Lehigh in First Game on Foreign Territory; Morrison Will Not Play Schuyler, Silvano Also Injured But May Start Fray Brown and White Will Outweigh Nittanymen By BONN SANDERS My, what big Engineers you have, grandma! Although the Lions will be out weighed almost seven pounds to the man in the first 1934 tilt on foreign soil, they enter the fray the favorites. The chief handicap of the Nittany' Lion in tomorrow’s contest is that it will be without the services of its leader, . Captain Merrill Morrison, who will probably be kept on the side lines by a leg injury. Silvano is suffering from a cut leg, which he suffered in the game against Gettysburg. The injury is respond ing to treatment and the stocky full back is expected to start tomorrow, although Cooper may get the call. Roy Schuyler is troubled with a char lcyhorsc in the leg which was aggra vated by a kick last Saturday. He may start. Robbins Back Offsetting these injuries is the re turn of Harold Robbins, fulllrack and captain of last year’s freshman team, who has been out for four weeks be cause of a chipped ankle bone. Red O’Hora is expected to report for prac tice again sometime next week.

Flywheel Is Dead Dr. Obsequies in Dress Clothes; Rae and Binkie Dickinson Inconsolable; Elmer, Tug, Sox Sad (Reprinted from the Centre Daily Times.) Flywheel was a lady—a lady dog— with personality. Within her two short years of existence, she learned about Life, and went through about all the experiences that arc endured by Mankind. Because hard luck dog ged both her and her family, four members of which survive as "trouble finders,” she merits a kindly obituary. Flywheel cairn? to State College as the chief extra-curricular activity of Spike Collins, football- player. When Flywheel was a pup, she was "Chow” all over; but, as she grew, the wire haired fox began to show in her bristley brown coat. Her ears and tail were always up. After Spike left town, she gave her devotion to a scries of masters and mistresses. She never forgot to wag recognition whenever she saw a former owner—among them, the Stuarts, the Jameses, and Galbraith. She came to the Dicksons from Boalsburg, banished for chasing, and, unfortunately, catching chickens. Through her own efforts, she got her name in the Collegian columns "Campuseer” and "Old Mania,” on no less than a dozen occasions. Then, along came the Cowells' “Mike.” Handsome, Irish, pedigreed, h [ Grid Team To Receive Unofficial Send-off Because the Administration can not sec benefit in giving the foot ball team an official send-off for the Lehigh game, there will be an unofficial send-off at Co-op cor ner between the 9 and 10 o’clock classes this morning. It is to con sist of giving the team a “hand” as their bus pulls out and there will be no speeches or songs, ac cording to . Head Cheerleader Wil liam B. Edwards ’35. It was originally planned by stu dents to have a 10 minute recess from 9 o’clock classes, so that the entire student body might attend, but because the Administration re fuses to grant this recess, plans have been made to hold the send off during the inter-class period. Paul K. Hirsch, president of the senior class, Student Council, arid Student Board, and Head Cheer leader William B.

Elmer is owned by the Aldorfcrs; Tug, by the Ritenours; Sox and Jiggs, by the Aikenses. Spln nic (Spinach or Spinningwhecl, as you prefer) was a victim of pneu monia. Elmer has forgotten about his broken leg. With Tug, lie shared the wrath of our burgess, and languished in the dog-hoosegow for running loose. Sox and Jiggs arc convalescing from a tussle with a porcupine. Elmer and Tug maintained their filial- devotion until the end, being frequent callers at the Dickson menage to check up on their mother's cache of old bones,, probably the best collection in the neighborhood. It was while she was "being aired” after an encounter with a skunk, that Flywheel met her violent end. Never theless, Dr. Shigley attended to the obsequies in his dress clothes. Rue and Binkic Dickson arc incon solable. Flywheel liked to do tricks for them. She had one very special stunt—saying her prayers. We hope they got her into dog heaven.
