THIS BOTTLE TURNNS

SEVEN YEARS INTO

SEVEN MONTHS

4 Test blocks of pole wood are fed to destructive fungi in

bottles like this at Bell Laboratories. WVood rests onsoil which controls moisture conditions and promotesfungus growth. Test speeds search for better preservatives.

This year the Bell System is putting 800,000 newtelephone poles into service. How effectively arethey preserved against fungus attack and decay?

Once the only way to check a preservative wasto plant treated wood specimens outdoors, thenwait and see -for seven years at least. Now, witha new test devised in Bell Laboratories most ofthe answer can be obtained in seven months.

Cubes of wood are treated with preservatives,then enclosed in bottles with fungus of the mostdestructive kind, under temperature and humidityconditions that accelerate fungus activity. Success-or failure-of fungus attack on cubes soon re-veals the best ways to preserve poles.

The test has helped show how poles can beeconomically preserved for many years. It is an-other example of how Bell Telephone Laboratoriesworks to keep down your telephone costs.

In this most comprehensive volume of 1900 references, Dr. Martin presents atheory of biologic relativity as the basis of antagonism, its central concept beingthat specificities in any biologic system are RELA TIVE not absolute.

BIOLOGICAL ANTAGONISM gives the information necessary for replacementdrugs or anitagonistic drugs for counteracting adverse effects. It covers antagon-isms as observed in the field of amino acids, purines, pyrimidines, vitamins, hor-mones and minerals. It descrbes the relationship between pharmacology, physi-ology and chemistry in such studies. It ii THE research volume every researclherin biological work must have.

FEATURES OF THE "EIMAC" PUMP

Pyrex Glass Barrel-Readily enables inspection of oil rings and internaloperating conditions.Simple Cleanlng-This factor Is one of the most Important to pump users.

The "EIMAC" can be disassembled In a matter of minutes without specialtools. Normal cleaning procedure is 100% effective as there are no inac-cessible areas. (With metal-barreled pumps inspection is difficult andeffectiveness of cleaning can be determined only after pump has been re-

turned to service.)No refrigerant-The "EIMAC" is entirely air cooled with the cooling ac-

complished from the draft of a small fan.No Charcoal Trap-The unique cold-baffle prevents entrance of oil vapor

in the high-vacuum manifold.Pipe-Flange Mounting-Both high-vac and fore-pump manifold connectionsmatch standard pipe flanges.110 Volts AC-DC-No complicated electrical circuit is required as theheater operates on standard 110 volt power.

VACUUM INDICATING GAUGE

This equipment which is designed to operate with the RCA type 1946

thermocouple gauge tube or equivalent, measures pressures in the range .001

to 1 mm Hg. The meter is calibrated to read air pressure directly. The unit

is operated on 110 volt, 60 cycle ac, and consumes approximately 10 watts.

It is mounted in a sloping front cabinet 6Y2" x 10" x 6½"2^.

Operation is particularly simple. Calibration is checked by use of the

same meter that reads the pressure. A ballast type circuit is employed in

order to minimize error due to line voltage variation.

The thermocouple tube may be sealed directly to pyrex systems. An adapter(listed below) Is available for use in connecting the tube to metal vacuum

systems.

In addition to use as a pressure indicator, the gauge is useful for locat-

ing leaks in vacuum systems by noting sudden changes, in reading when a

material such as acetone is sprayed or painted on the suspected part of the

system.

THE ACTIN IDE ELEMENTSBy GLENN T. SEABORG, University of California, Berkeley, and JOSEPH J. KATZ, Argonne Na-tional Laboratory, Chicago. National Nuclear Energy Series. Division IV, Volume 14A. Ready inOctober.

Offering material available in no other work, this outstanding comprehensive survey covers detaileddiscussions of the chemistry of all the elements from actinium to the newly-discovered trans-pluton-ium elements. Exhaustive and critical treatment is given to the important nuclear properties of themany isotopes of these elements with special attention to comparative chemistry, chrystallography,oxidation-reduction behavior, and nuclear systematics.

ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISMBy EDSON R. PECK, Northwestern University. 470 pages, $7.50

This intermediate text provides an unusually careful, clear, and critical discussion of the underlyingprinciples of electromagnetism, including both field and circuit theory, and goes as far as simple ap-plications of the Maxwell equations to electromagnetic waves and radiations. A background in generalphysics and elementary calculus is assumed. Although primarily theoretical, the book maintains con-tact with the laboratory by means of numerous practical problems.

CRYSTAL DISLOCATIONSBy W. T. READ, JR., Bell Telephone Laboratories, Inc. International Series in Pure and Ap-plied Physics. 219 pages, $5.00

A specialized text and reference in a very important phase of solid state physics, this volume is writ-ten for physical metallurgists and physicists interested in the phenomena associated with imperfec-tions in the crystal structure. It explains what dislocations are, what they do, and how they produceeffects which one can study experimentally. Emphasis is upon a systematic introductory account ofwhat is definitely known about dislocations.

WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT: Fur Bearers, Waterfowl, and Fish. Volume 11By REUBEN E. TRIPPENSEE. American Forestry Series. 552 pages, $7.50

This second and final volume of the authoritative study concisely brings together pertinent facts onmanagement of water and wet lands; life histories, ecology, and management of fur bearing ani-mals, waterfowl, and freshwater game fish, and presents necessary procedures for their abundantproduction and orderly harvest. Descriptions of their habitats are also included. Outstanding illus-trations show points of both beauty and interest.
