Stoker which feeds problems to machine. After entrance the problems first go to a pulver- izer, then to a centrifugal separator which sep- arates all logarithms and exponents from the rest of the problem. The logarithms pass to Compressor which reduces all logs to two decimal places. In the meantime, the values of Rp are separated and fed into Settling tank where heavier values sink to bottom. The values of s are sent through Trap which removes all z's from the s's. The values of R and s are combined under pres- sure from Cam and spring operated pump. They then feed back into the problem through . Manifold separator for combined R and s. Other parts will now be listed. . Cylinder and piston operating indicator drum. This operates from the admission pressure given in the problem. Pipe line feeding delivery pressures to indicator piston. . VVhistle which blows when lunch is ready, K. L. M. N. O. P. Q. R. S. T. U.

AN ENGINEER AND HIS HOBBY COLIN G. FINK T IS an interesting fact that many of our most prominent and successful engineers have at the same time been ardent pursuers of a hobby-a recreation or avocation that often occupies not merely so-called 'lspare time, but a very large fraction of the day, this fraction usually increasing as the years go by. Offhand, one would be inclined to advocate against diverting so much attention to matters outside of one's regular vocation or profession, and yet experience has shown that the pursuit of the hobby was not only not a hindrance to the engineerls advancement, but was actually a stimulus or necessity. Without a hobby, no really successful engineer. There is this constant danger of growing stale when we apply ourselves too assidu- ouslv to our chosen profession, and never afford the mind the necessary and stimu- lating periods of relaxation of the right sort, which a sensible hobby alone can give. ln riding a hobby we are so utterly free from nervous strain and anxiety. No manager worries us about increasing production and lowering costsg no board of directors forever requests a detailed monthly report, no competitor threatens openly or otherwise to send us to the poorhouse, no legal adviser urges suit against our infringers. Our hobby is our own in its entirety-to do with as we see fit,-to nurse it patiently and to enjoy its healthy growth, or, if we must occassionally, to neglect it entirely and without anxiety, certain at all times that our hobby is ever ready to welcome us with a smile whenever we find a minute, or an hour, or a day to devote to it. An engineer with a live hobby is invariably an optimist. Granting, then, that an engineer must have a hobby to be happy, what shall he choose? Professor K. Finch has one of the finest and rarest historical col- lections of glass Hagons and bottles, some hundreds of years old and many of rare beauty of design. I. H. lVIorecroft is an expert apiarist and disciple of Maeterlinck. Tfwenly-eigfzt
