The farm is an important
laboratory fr.4 studies that form
a part of the radiation safety
program at the works, designed
to prevent radioactive by-prod-O
ucts from causing harm at the
plant or in the neighborhood.
The facility includes pens, pas
tures nd cages where dozens of
sheep, dogs and mice, as well as
pigs, are kept. Sheep are used
extensively because they are the
predominant animal on the
farms in the Hanford area.
However. Bustad favors hogs
for most of his latest tests. Data

After exposure, the mice ire

Problem Solved
For Paper Mills
Rochester, N. Y. W The in
genuity of a Rochester inventor
has provided paper mill operat
ors with the solution to an age
old problem.
John J. Cannan, a foreman in
paper mill control laboratory
at the Eastman Kodak Co., has
come up with an idea by which
samples can be snatched from a
swiftly moving wab of paper on
a paper-making machine with
out breaking the web. The in
vention works like a mouse
trap snapping up a sample of
paper on the run.
Paper mill operators long
have found it difficult to study
the capacity of large drums
which dry the wet, newly
formed sheets as they move
through the equipment. The
chief problem has been how to
get samples on the fly. Usual
attempts to tear out a sample
invariety tore the entire web
and stopped the operation.
Cannan's sampler is a spring
powered mechanical device with
razor-sharp jaws that snap and
bite out about a two and one
half inch oval of the moving
paper. In less than four seconds
the paper samples can be sealed
in weighing bottles ready for
laboratory work. This speed.
oeer before possible, is highly
itrportant to accuracy of the
roni5iur check.
Cannan received a $600 sug
geion award from Eastman
Kodak for the idea.
