Television is the place where they begin TELEVISION seems rather colossal All is not done with mirrors. Yet you see things where they "ain't." However poof! our scientists use tele vision's activating principle daily to see things which aren't visible at all. By combining certain electri cal circuits with the cathode ray oscillograph "mainspring" of television Standard's scientists are able to study pressure insidt combustion chamber or record as in a slow motion picture the mechanical lightning which pro vides Diesel engine ignition. Now, as you know, it's still Impossible to buy a television set at any corner store. Hence you can imagine how much more difficult it is for research ers who start with the television principle to get apparatus so far in advance of today. Actu ally, they've been forced to orig inate much laboratory equip ment of their own. When it comes to devising gadgets which put them in the van of the parade, our scientists have proved themselves out standing. Some of these instru ments actually involve the use of a new electric principle, about which we can't tell you yet. But of one thing we can assure you. Their scientific lead ership means leadership for Standard when it comes to get ting the most inner of inside information about petroleum efficiency.
