DR. BALINKIN AND HIS WAVE MACHINE A GBJITNGJBTNNAGTTAN AMDS JEN lllDlRtlDlBllRllB$$ I'DR. Isn BALtNKIN, a Cincinnatian and an instructor of physics at the University of Cincinnati, contributes toward progress by an invention of a wave machine, a device capable of demonstrating more than thirty different wave phenomena, Among these impulses, reflections in a medium, vibrating strings, energy transw mission and absorption in wave motion, showing the analogue of polarization in light, of vibrations in organ pipes, and of phenomena associated with alternating Current circuits. It is believed students will be able to understand wave motion better after demonstration and that the machine will therefore facilitate the teaching of physics. Not only can the student profit but also the phenomenon can better be studied by physicists. The radiation pressure of the sun, predicted over sixty years ago by Maxwell, can also be demonstrated. Dr. Balinkin developed this apparatus While working on the physiCal exhibits for the World's Fair in the laboratories of the Central Scientific Company ofChicago. The litst model of the new wave machine was donated by the company to the Uni- versity of Cincinnati. The apparatus will be on display in the Hall of Science at the International Exposition during the summer of 1933. I6

Carmen by H'inold Reiss Mural on the South Wall of the Rotunda at the Cincinnati Union Terminai EMNGBJIINNAGJHI UNMDN TERMINAL MEN, AS INDIVIDUALS, rise and fall and are seemingly forgotten in the dust of ages; but their works, those great achievements attained through the appli- cation of the worldk greatest power-knowledge-r-live through the centuries, adorning the ages and marking indelibly in the book of time the progressive march of man. The new Cincinnati Union Terminal has been erected recently in our City: It is an architectural work of incomparable beauty and the most spacious of its kind in the world. This beautiful building, modemistic in all its details, provides every convenience the traveler could desire and denotes the progress of our city. Cincinnati salutes and gives due recognition to the following men Who put forth all their ingenuity and applied their knowledge in a practical way to make this project a masterpiece: C01. Henry M. Waite and his eh meeting forces, Alfred Fellheimer and Stewart Wagner Engineers and Architects , Harry A. Worcester and George Dent Crabbs CPresident and Vice-President respectively of the Union Terminal CompanyD, and 2111 the workers who followed the orders of their superiors.
