Timken Precision Gage Detects Quake
Earth tremors, usually measured by sensitive instruments called
seismographs especially designed for the purpose, were detected by
a laboratory technician in The Timken Roller Bearing Company’s’
Tool Inspection Laboratory. The technician, Hans Lindquist, detected;
the discrepancy in a Starrett Master Precision Level which he wasj
adjusting on a Precision Grinder used to grind Master gages to I
within ten millionths of an inch tolerance. The laboratory in which j
Hans was working had a concrete floor from 12 to 18 inches thick
and three quarters of an inch of insulation between the walls and
around each column, to absorb vibration from outside the laboratory.^
Lindquist was mystified at the reaction of the precision level when
the bubble in the level first moved fourteen ten thousandths (.0014")
of an inch. Hurriedly, neighboring industries were contacted to de-j
termine whether or not they were carrying on any unusually heavy y.
work which would set up vibrations. None of them had been. That
evening, Lindquist heard in a news telecast of the earthquake north
of the Japanese Islands, 5,000 air miles away. The next morning,
after checking with John Carroll University Yn Cleveland, it was
learned that earth tremors were recorded on that University’s seismo-
graph at 12:09 P.M. . . . precisely the same time that Hans Lindquist
detected the discrepancy on the highly sensitive grinding machine i
used in the manufacture of Timken roller bearings.
Gages and machines equipped to produce bearings which are accur-/
ate to ten millionths of an inch are everyday work tools at the
Timken Company. A millionth of an inch, by the way, is forty-six',
thousand (46,000) times finer than the thickness of a thin dime, or
three thousand times thinner than a single sheet of newspaper.

Texas Moves Closer To Relief
For Its Acute Water Problems
Church Of Christ
Beginning at the morning hour
Sunday, Minister W. K. Cunning-
ham announces he will begin a
series of four sermons based on
Revelation, 13th chapter, “The
Beasts, The Matk of the Beast
and The Number of His Name.”

He’ll run the dishwasher for a

And he will wash and iron the

Wonderful, isn’t it? As a matter of
fact, electric appliances will win the
“cooking battle” every time...and
remember your electric service is
still the biggest bargain in your
budget today!
ijTime was when preparing Thanks-
giving dinner was a real struggle.
And preparing it was nothing com-
pared to the clean-up job that came
after!
But today grandmother, or moth-
er, can actually take time to enjoy
herself—because so much of the
work (including the a/fer-dinner
work) will be done for her by elec-
trical kitchen appliances and by her
wonderful electric servant, Reddy

feed, too!
He will refrigerate the turkey a

Texas moved closer to relief for
its acute water problem with
Governor Shivers’ Statewide Wat-
er Committee of 101 members
and four task committees meet-
ing at Austin November 19 to
consider important “stop gap”
legislation to be presented to the
new legislature when it meets in
January.
J. B. Thomas, Fort Worth
utility executive and chairman of
the Governor’s committee, an-
nounced the four committees
that are outlining proposed legis-
lation will meet in Austin De-
cember 4 to co-ordinate their
findings. This composite report
will be submitted tp a steer-
ing committee which will
meet here December 111. The
steering group will pass on the
final co-ordinated report of the
task committees and a copy will
be mailed to all the members
of the Governor’s committee.
A meeting of the general com-
mittee will be held and fihaf ac-
tion will be taken which will
then be presented to Governor
Shivers and the recommenda-
tions to be submitted to the leg-
islature.
The four task committees and
their chairmen are: First, one
to recommend statutory changes
in present laws to give more
legal power to the present State
Board of Water Engineers, head-
ed by Guy C. Jackson of Anahu-
ac; two, a committee to devise
the best method of financing a
state water control program, Vic-
tor Bouldin, Houston, chairman;
three, to co-ordinate participa-
tion of state and federal agen-
cies on Texas water projects,
chairmanned by J. S. Bridwell of
Wichita Falls and fourth, a com-
mittee to evolve a program for
the control of pollution, headed
by Mason Lockwood of Houston.
No effort will be made to write
a new, water code at the next
legislative session, it was agreed.
It was also the opinion of the
committee that a long range pro-
gram preceded by a two-year
survey of all approaches to the
Texas water problem will be nec-
essary before Texas gets the wa-
ter legislation it needs and de-
sires.
“We feel confident that our
committee will be able to come
up with immediate, necessary
legislation which will amend the
present laws and give needed
relief to the more pressing water
problems which we are facing
now,” Chairman Thomas said.

Kid” of Wirth’s Circus in 1904.
BEHIND THE
SCENES IN
BUSINESS
by REYNOLDS McKNIGHT
THINGS TO COME — Clothing
that keeps insects away with-
out effort by its wearer is on the
way. The Army has devised an
odorless and colorless insect
repellent for spraying on cloth
during manufacture, and when
Army needs are cared for it will
be licensed for sale to civilians
... A portable home broadcast- S
ing set has appeared in the
Christmas toy line of a Chicago
manufacturer. It will broadcast
through any set at a distance of
75 fefet or less, and costs only
$9.95 . . . Shoe manufacturers,
encouraged by the welcome giv-
en nylon mesh shoes when they
first appeared last spring, will be
back next year with fabric up-
pers of gold, red’ and bright
blue . . . Sprayer-on green tinting
to kill windshield glare will
baffle helpful filling station at-
tendants. It’s put on by pressing
a button on its container, but it
won’t wash or wipe off.
BITS O’ BUSINESS—Flotations
of new issues of stock raised only
$3 billion of the $90 billion in
capital added by American firms
in the last five years, the Depart-
ment of commerce reported. Re-
tained earnings provided’ $38 bil-
lion, depreciation allowances $18
billion, borrowings most of the
rest . . . Steel mills operated
in October at 106 per cent of rat-
ed capacity, a pace that would
turn out 115 billion tons of in-
gots and castings in a year .. .. ,■
The first German automobiles in
13 years have reached Canada.
They are the famous VolksWagv
ens, the people’s car for which'
the Nazi government collected'
billions of marks in down pay-
ments, then didn’t deliver be-
cause the war began ... A hun-
dred American companies got
certificates of necessity from D.
