Missile 'Shake Table' Designed by KU Man
A KU professor is the brain behind a new device for testing missile components.
It's a three-way "shake table," still in the development stage, that will improve the reliability of various parts of a missile and also determine the physical and psychological reactions of humans in space flight. Its designer is T. Charles Helvey, professor of radiation bio-physics.
Dr. Helvey heads the human factors research program in the Research Division of Radiation, Inc., in Orlando, Fla.
The "shake table" will duplicate vibrations which occur during missile launchings by oscillating with three degrees of freedom, simulating actual vibrations under flight conditions. Dr. Helvey said.
PROF. T. CHARLES HELVEY
The first model of the new table will test parts weighing up to 1,500 pounds.
By subjecting missile components to these vibrations for prolonged periods, it will be possible to eliminate many of the break-downs which now plague missile development, he added.
Human volunteers tested on the new device can be subjected to vibrations closely resembling those which can occur in supersonic space flight, Dr. Helvey said.

Elaine Piper, Columbus, and Marilyn Shaw, Galena, both juniors, have been awarded Cherokee County Alumni Club Scholarships for this year. Each will receive $100 both semesters.
Cambridge University Press in England has published in three volumes his edited text of the works of Thomas Dekker, the Elizabethan playwright.
2 Juniors Receive Scholarships

Visitors to the Mariners Museum at Newport News, Va., are fascinated by its extensive collection of massive figureheads that once decorated the prows of historic vessels. Its ship models range from primitive Indian dugouts to the liner United States.
measure the physical and psychological reactions of man under stress, he added.
At present "shake tables" simulate only three types of movement—one vertical and two rotational motions.
The new machine will duplicate all three motions simultaneously or in any desired combinations.
Checks Ready For Students
The University began issuing September payroll checks today and about 1,200 students, whose pockets were emptied by fee payments, will have their pockets hanging a little heavier from the $30,228 payroll.
Only about 1,000 persons are employed normally, Charles Harkness, personnel director, said today, but part-time enrollment workers account for the increase in September.
Graduate students assisting instructors, dormitory counselors, and students on scholarships and fellowships are not included in the 1,200 students.
Only library helpers, grass cutters, light-bulb changers, clerical help and other hourly paid workers are included in the student payroll group.
Approximately 1,500 faculty members and 800 staff members are on separate pavrolls.
Students must present identification cards when picking up checks, Harkness said, and those picking up checks for friends must present signed notes authorizing the pick up. No pay checks are issued before the first day of each month.
Research Projects Receive $21,885
Two research projects in bacteriology have received $21,858 in renewals of grants from the United States. Public Health Service.
Both projects use a fluorescent antibody technique with dyes developed at KU.
Dr. Cora Downs, professor of bacteriology, and Dr. Ralph Canuteson, director of the KU Health Service, are investigators of a project involving the virus causing infectious mononucleosis. Research associates are Ruth Cady and Joan Handley of Lawrence. The grant was renewed for $11.500.
The other project, also directed by Dr. Downs, is concerned with rapid diagnosis of rickettsia disases. Assistants are Dolores Bobb, Seattle, Wash, and Audrey Roberts, Lawrence, graduate students. The renewal grant is for $10,385.
