i .EAER2gri'n, 5 PE Mildred Musselman facting as clerki- What can I do for you, Madam? Edythe Willard- Do you serve nuts here ? Mildred M.- We serve everybody. What do you want? Miss Williamson- Tell us something about Abraham Lincoln. Edythe Weber-- He was born in a log cabin which he helped his father build. PARATU5 Miss Ruddick- Who was it that laughed then ? Elsie Vingoe- Please Miss Ruddick, it was me, I was laughing up my sleeve and there was a hole in the elbow. P32321 If these jokes will not make you laugh put them in the stove and listen to them roar. -Gerry Schneider. f i ff llvl Hear ye not the hum of mighty working The Modern Aeroplane HE ae1'oplane of to-day is probably the most refined engineering structure of the time, and to the average per- son the principles of construction may appear to be very complicated. These, however, are not exactly new. A bridge builder thoroughly understands all the methods of bracing used. But a bridge, of course, is not required to be able to do a loop or dive through the air, and the strength required may be more easily calculated. If in an aeroplane the parts were made too strong and heavy, it would end up by being commer- cially impractical, and, if too light, would be very unsafe to operate, and therefore aeronautical engineers have to figure just the right proportion of strength to weight. Practically the machine has to be so designed that the load likely to be im- posed during flight is distributed evenly along the structure, and that where there is probably not much force acting on a certain spot, this must be made lighter than where a heavy load is applied, to keep the factor of safety the same in both places. Structural failure in an aeroplane is al- most unheard of to-day, and for a ship to lose a Wing after it has flown a consider- able time is not an indication of bad en- gineering, but of dreadful negligence in the maintenance of the craft. -H. Zinn, T 3. The Development of Television ELEVISION has made great strides during the past year. The early Tel- evision receivers used Scanning Discs of different sizes, whereas the present day receiver uses a Scanning Drum, which results in a more compact outfit. A Neon lamp is used to project the picture onto a ground glass screen in the following man- ner:- A magnifying lens at the back of the screen serves to enlarge the picture suffic- iently to be seen by four to eight people at a time, the Television signals are broadcast on a 'short' wave length so as 104 not to interfere with Broadcast stations as it requires a fairly broad wave band. To use a Television Receiver the Re- ceiver is first tuned in with the switch at the 'sound' position till the note is heard at its loudest, it is then switched over to the 'picture' position and the picture is framed by varying the speed of the motor. Television experimentation first began in July, 1925, when C. Francis Jenkins, who had experimented in Motion Picture projection, first sent Television pictures from his experimental station, W3XK, at Washington, D.C. -L OW 1
