DON'T SHOOT—Sgt. L. V. Davison, assistant instructor of military science, explains the operation of the .30 cal. water cooled machine gun to a group of basic ROTC cadets. Behind the group is a 60 mm mortar. Part of the Engineering Exposition is furnished by the Military Science department. Their exhibit will include weapons and construction material used by army engineers.
A HOT TIME—Before those beautiful colored pieces of pottery brighten your homes they must undergo a lengthy process.
A REAL STRAIN—A hydraulic testing machine tests a section of solid steel constructing rod. This complicated looking affair tests the strength of materials, both in tension and compression.
MINING AND METALLURGY—A ball mill and classifier grinding circuit grinds rock to a fine size for separation by mineral dressing methods. Chuck Hayes, junior, tends the apparatus.
ENGLISH ENGINE—Last semester the mechanical engineering department acquired this high speed British Jaguar engine. Students installed it and now run tests on its performance, power output, and efficiency.
PEEK-A-BOO—The University has its own observatory on the roof of Lindley Hall. In a dome constructed a few years ago a 27-inch reflector telescope is housed. It is mounted on a 10-ton concrete block and is turned by a motor. It is used for research purposes only. Examining the vital end of the telescope, where a convex mirror is mounted. Dr. N. W. Storer, associate professor of astronomy, left, and Henry Horak, assistant professor of astronomy.
The home-made telescope on the left is considered one of the best amateur telescopes in the country. It was constructed by Karl Esch, senior in engineering physics, at his home in Cherryvale.
