Machines In Fowler Shops Measure To Gnat's Whisker
One small room in Fowler shops houses about $750,000 worth of equipment. The outlay of precision measurement and inspection machines in Fowler is among the best and most complete of any in this part of the country.
Howard Rust, instructor in shop practice, has been told that the equipment here also surpasses that of both Purdue and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sunflower Square Dance
Sensitivity of the equipment is amazing. A mechanical-optical measuring machine can make comparative measurements up to one millionth of an inch. Another instrument, which is electro-mechanical, is capable of measurement up to 100 thousandsth of an inch, actual, not comparative, measurement. You can buy one of them for your workshop for $28,000.
The course is open to all engineering students, but the majority of those taking the course this semester are either mechanical or industrial engineers.
Surface refinement of parts is checked by a brush surface analyzer which operates somewhat like a phonograph. A pickup arm brushes along the surface of a part where electrical impulses are picked up. Instead of sound being produced, a profile of the surface is drawn on paper. No flaw escapes detection because the analyzer can draw magnified profiles to the scale of 100-millionths of an inch.
The heat from one finger will register on the guage of another of the instruments. The distance between threads on a screw or bolt can be measured by still another. It measures to ten-thousandths of an inch both horizontally and laterally, and to one minute in degrees.
All of the equipment is war surplus. It is used for instruction by Mr. Rust, who teaches precision measurement and inspection.
The new shop building will include a special department for the equipment. Mr. Rust expects it to perform even better in the new quarters where the floors will provide a solid base for the machines. The upstairs floor in Fowler is a little too shaky for the delicate instruments.
Professors Take To Air For New Look At Kansas Land
The aerial mapping of geologic features in Kansas is a project now being conducted by two members of the geology department.
Dr. R. M. Dreyer, chairman of the geology department, does the piloting, and Dr. H.T. U. Smith, associate professor of geology, takes the photos.
The two men plan to publish the pictures with comments as a popular study to acquaint people with what is seen from the air.
The Sunflower K.U. Dames are giving a square dance in the K.U. Dames club room at Sunflower tomorrow night at 8. Mrs. Kathryn Nye, chairman of the dance committee, said that there will be live "callers" and orchestra.
Admission is 50c a couple. All University students and their wives are invited, Mrs. Nye said.

J. Walter Pudlink Speaks:
"It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it," said J. Walter Pudlink when he spoke before the Gastronomical Society today.
Mr. Pudlink, noted culinary artist, told members that it takes more than just ingredients to make fine bakery goods. "Yes, brothers," he said, "it takes a lot of gosh-darned skill, and know-how to turn out those extra light, fluffy, and oh so tasty bakery goods."
"I buy all my bakes at Drakes," he continued.
Pudlink's Right It's DRAKE'S For BAKES
In conclusion, Mr. Pudlink said, "And that is why I urge all you bretheren to buy Your Bakes at DRAKES."
