(UP) A "dust camera" which will actually "shoot" dust In the air and provide the only permanent record of dust which can be obtained today by sci entists making studies in the dust content of air In various Industries, has been Invented by Lawrence H. Ott of Cleveland, a student In the Sloane physics laboratory at Yale university. Ott worked two years with J. B. Flcklen, chemical engineer for the Travelers Insurance company, In de veloping the apparatus which, it was said, would have prevented the re cent silicosis tragedy In West Vir ginia, where several people died as the result of an over-abundance of silica dust In the air. The camera la extremely useful, Ott says. In Industries using brick making, quarrying and burnishing In their manufacturing processes. "As soon aa employers are required' to keep the dust volume In the air down by legal statutes, such a method of counting dust as we have devised will be even more Interesting and valuable," he asserts. Particles Counted, The camera takes a picture of the particles of dust In a very small amount of air. These particles arc counted and the percentages of dust In cubic feet of air estimated, sim ilar to the method now employed by physicians and physiologists to de termine the nupber of blood cells In the humsn body. The simple and light apparatus was fashioned and assembled by Ott In the machine shop of the Sloane physics laboratory. It consists of an upright shaft with a camera box on top and the lens within the tube to which are attached three cylin drical pipes. Each of these three pipes contains a flashlight bulb, such as la now used In commercial pho tography, wired for lighting. Air Sample Tnken. A rubber tube Is attached to the upright metal chamber, and air is sucked Into tha Interior through a rubber nozzle. When this sample of air, which contains the dust to be photographed, has been drawn Into the testing chamber, It Is left un disturbed for a period of from 30 to 60 seconds. The shutter of the cam era then Is opened and the photo flashlight Is fired by a pocket battery three bulbs being touched off si multaneously. Tho present equipment weighs eight pounds, but Ott is working to develop a dust camera with one bulb to weigh only five pounds. The de partment of the interior recently communicated with the Yale physi cists for complete information about tha new camera process. The camera provides the only means known at present of pre serving a permanent record of the amount of dust In a given locality at any particular moment.
