Need for speed in the manufactute of radio tubes h.ts seen the de velopment of a machine that tests 6CC0 tubes an hour. At the Isft o the photograph above is the machine which automatically okehs or re jects tubes according to their characteristics, with the meter or controi board at the right. Belcw is a rear view of the machine, showing the feeding apparatus. ' the mechanical apparatus is an ejecting dtVice and moving belts which cany the "defects" and j croud tubes awny. ! Tubes are autumn i tea My placed in sockets equally .;i;:ci-d around a rotating disc havimr contact rinss and brushes. As (he disc turns, each tube is suceessi ey connected into spei-iid circuits fur t-'Slinc Arrangement f ilie contacts is such that tin test circuiis are first connected, allowing meters and re lays to eonie to a fixed position ' before an ejector circuit is in (to- . sii ion to function, ; The ejecting mechani.-m consists of solenoids located opposite, the l iirt-e shoots iuio which ii'frci ive tubes are sorted. The tube is eject- I ed when the solenoid pushes a 'plunger that forces it out of the socket. The good tubes must clear the three defect positions before ' they ;ne pushed out by a cam. ; The first circuit ejects tubes with ! broken filaments or short circuits. ; The second removes gassy and low emission tubes. The third shores out the tubes with itnort'ect op. ' orating characteristics. Knelt circuit has control relays which are essentia :!y meters. In- m.OOM i-'l KLD, N. .1. (Pi So ac curate that It seldom fails, yet so fast that it takes the place of from 'J't to ;(' girls, a machine is testing tiOOO radio tubes an hour in a fac tory which turns out nearly a mil lion tubes a mouth. The machine removes t h e chances of error by the human ele ment that enters into one of the important operations in tube man ufactiin the fin. I lest. The former method was to have a girl, handling jno lulus an hour, t-st each one on a set equipped with meters, as many as I ."i test sets,, being required to keep a cer tain type of tube moving out on production schedule. The attention necessary to keep the test sets op eration alike was considerable. To overcome the defects of hand testing, engineers of the Westing hoitse Lamp fo. developed a ma chine which picks up the tubes from a carrier belt, automatically performs each electrical lest, and then sorts them by classifications. The. machine has an electrical control boa I'd, with meters, con nected by a cable to, the mechani cal apparatus which cuts. the tubes into t ovj' o iv uits. A 1 1 ached o XKVV YOllK.'.-!.

Nei ther sorrow, dejection, joy nor elation, when oecui ring in pure form, are very effective, if at a!!, in producing the discharge. Typi cally tears appear when a tie pressing or otherwise unpleasant situation gains a redeeming fea ture, or when tension and un pleasant stimulation Is followed by pleasant or alleviating stimu 'Sympathy and self-pity, as mlt-i i gating t ire umManees under d"- j pression, are highly conducive to i enrs.
