E. E. THUM, * Salt Lake City, Utah (Written discussion ?).-Dr. Fulton's paper sheds a great deal of light upon questions which have perplexed many who have studied the metallurgy of zinc, and have fruitlessly brought forth several hypotheses and reams of discussion. It would be a bright day if others would follow Dr. Fulton's example, for, as a

A comprehensive finite element formulation for thermo-elastic consolidation based on a general variational principle is presented Sample one dimensional problems associated with isothermal consolidation, heat conduct ion, and thermo-elastic consolidation are presented. In addition, evaluations of thermo-elastic consolidation for an underground coal conversion field site are conducted.

AT the session on mine ventilation on Oct. 8, 1926, held in connection with the. autumn Institute meeting at Pittsburgh, there was considerable dis-cussion of the use of auxiliary fans in coal-mine ven-tilation, and before adjourning the following resolu-tion was passed: "Resolved, that we, as a Committee, in consideration of the increasing and widespread use of auxiliary fans iii coal mines deplore the fact that they are often used without adequate knowledge of their limitations and dangers."

Critical Shortage of Engineers M AN POWER commitments for defense, superimposed on normal domestic requirements, exceed the available supply of labor. The armed services, industry, and the professions are sizing themselves up man power-wise and are announcing that serious shortages are imminent or already in existence. The engineering profession is facing serious shortages. The main reason for this is the recall of engineering and scientific personnel to the armed services.

EMBRITTLEMENT of hard-tempered martensite (500°F embrittlement) appears to be coincident with the beginning of the third stage of tempering. During the first stage, primary martensite of steels containing over 0.25 pct C decomposes to a mixture of c carbide and martensite of appreciably constant carbon content close to 0.25 pct.' During the third stage of tempering, cementite forms. In steels with

The Circuitron herein described applies current from the classifier motor circuit and energy from the sound of grinding media to move an oscillating disc. The disc through a photoelectric cell controls the speed of the ore feeder and consequently the amount of ore delivered to the mill.

ONE'S lifetime does not usually offer the opportunity to observe and be a part of the commercial development of an entirely new material. Petalite has been known for over a century, but at first it was presumed rare. However, it was found to be so abundant that it has become a new and extremely useful industrial tool.

A coal-cleaning plant's environment can be hazardous to a computer system. The computer must be more reliable than the coal-cleaning plant mechanical processes if it is to help improve clean-coal quality and yield by performing data gathering and process control tasks. This paper discusses coal-cleaning plant environmental hazards and installation philosophies that can protect the computer. Specific reference is made to a computer system installed at the Electric Power Research Institute's Coal-Cleaning Test Facility.
