 One would say Snider H. figures out by calculus what curve a trunk must take to get from one point to another in the least amount of time, be- cause he seems well trained in those particular branches of service. Theel's ease in which he carrys his books to school could tell many a story about eats. Shorty E. wants to know—but what’s the use of asking all those ques- tions over. Any question arising any where, any time, any place, to the misunder- standing of everyone concerned can easily be explained by Kassel. S. I. ■p m - ! Ill I. FLUNKEM CO., Inc. Mr. B. A.

If — TJfflE 1020 IEMF ———— 1 THE MANUFACTURE AND APPLICATION OF A MECHANICAL STORAGE BATTERY (Patent No. 8475,97868.7,836,999, applied for) As described in a paper read by. I. L. Illing and P. G. Krippner KAPPA IOTA SIGMA SOCIETY Realizing the great need for a suitable substitute for the present bulky and inefficient chemical storage battery, the two scientists mentioned above have at last completed plans for an efficient accumulator. As will be evident the principle of operation is based on the electron theory. After considerable theoretical experiment it has been found that the electrons traveling through the air at an enormous rate (as for instance between a spark gap will become white hot and result in an optical illusion similar to a comet’s tail. The problem before these men was to arrest these electrons in transit (there being no other means of isolating them) and store them for future use. £ OPERATION: SPASM 1. Referring now to the diagram below: By closing the switch S the “Do- More’’ hydrated cells will cause the juice to chase through the inductive boost- er IB and cause a lightning-like spark to meander between the platinum balls B. Immediately upon the beginning of this operation the syncronizer, at- tached to the vibrator of the inductive booster, or improved induction coil, will start the polyphase D. C. motor M. This in turn operates the oscillating disk Z which propels the piston-like chopper CH and causes same to shiver at an enormous rate in a vertical direction. Page One Hundred One
