Goliath's
Legs wouldn't
reach the
Ground
GOLIATH was a giant. He
measured six cubits and
a span. In his hands he could
have picked up America's first
commercial oil still. A picture
from the plush-covered album
days shows that still. An or
dinary man leans against it
his arm draped negligently over
the top.
Now a fractionating column
is today's descendant of that
still. What such jiggers do and
how they do it needn't worry
you if you'll just take our word
that they're tremendous big
gadgets which inhabit refiner
ies. Some rise 120 feet high and
outweigh the Statue of Liberty.
If old Goliath had his pic
ture taken with his arm hooked .
over the top of such a one, his
toes would dangle 114 feet in
air. To make his legs reach the
ground he'd have to call for
his parachute or his pall-bear-ers.
For his height was only the
length of six forearms and the
spread of a hand the day David
took his measure.
The barrel-sized still supplied
the oil lamp a worthy ac
complishment. The mechanical
titans which have developed
from it allow the oil industry
to furnish a nation with cheap,
dependable roadside fuel and
make motoring an essential part
of life for almost every Amer
ican a truly gigantic achievement.
