Epper son, Klamath Ells, demonstrated his de vice he calls a "satellitic orrery" during a science class at McLoughlin Junior High school ast.week The former Iowa high school principal and math teacher, built the device as a hobby after the firing of Sput nik I. A motor sends the satellite (in front of globe) revolving around the globe-15 times for each revolution the globe makes.. The satellite blinks off and on as it rotates.' The arc at the left changes the 'position of the satellite so its orbit may be changed. The oscillator at extreme left acts as a tracing station and gives off "beep beep" signals. The contraption was built of scrap materials including parts of fishing tackle, Epperson explained. A fishing reel may be seen just below the tip of the arc on the left. Extending from it along a copper arm is a thread which is fastened to the satellite. The thread, when taped to the globe (white lines), weaves a network of the orbital track so it may be seen. Watching the device work are students Maureen Kilby.and Fritz Beck. iTHIPS TO MOSCOW C MOSCOW-njPD-The general manager of the government 'tourist; agency In tourist has reported that 9,500 Amer icans visited the Soviet Union in the first nine months of 1959, the news agency Tars aid.
