Mayday Celebrated by Dabney Worker Group

The Dabney WOl'kers' Party last Saturday night attracted a good many odd· weekend snakes from the pits to celebrate May­day With rye bread and punch strongly reminiscent of Vodka.

At twelve, "Uncle Joe" Mangin and his minister, A uerbachski, were presented to the couples for their acclaim. A house beautJy contest was held, and Miss BaJ'bara Blair was chosen to represent Dabney at the May 14 ASCIT beauty contest.

At one o 'clock, it was decided t.hat a ll s ubversive activities s hould be moved back under· ground until next year.

Tha.t George Shor has no love for the ice plant that. adorns part of the Cal tech campus shou ld by now be rather obvious. That he is not a lone in taking a dim view of the gruesome stuff is equally obvious. Jf a poll, "grass vs. iceplant," were to be taken on cam­pus, there would be heshancy on the pan of this observer in pre­dicting a 99.44 percent pure pro·grass verdict.

Such is the strength of feeling on campus. But what is the chance t.hat t he iceplant will, in fact, be condemned t.o a merely historical role 'by the onrush of a new and grassy era?

To s peak very frankly, if you name an epsilon as small as you chose, the chance of grass w ill be significantly smaller. And, in s pite of MI'. Shor's scathing accusation, the burden does not. rest with one Wesley Hertenstein, an a lleged ogre who heads the Bu ild­ing and Grounds department. Nor does it lie with the Admin­istration Officers of the I nst itute, s pecifically one MI'. William Stott, the comptroller, sometimes pictured as an even more for­midable ogre than H ertenstein, who holds the purse stri ngs of the Insti t.ute in his iron-like miser's clutch.

The answer is not hard to find. The decision in this matter, as in all s imila r matters, is the responsibility of the Bulding and Grounds Committee, an august body of lush trustees which, un­surprisingly enough to anyone who things about it, actually has the best interest of the Institute at heart.

W e can quite easily analyze the committee's decision in this issue by glancing at the very facts which were presented to the committee.

The Ins titute is now in the red and anticipates a $400,000 defi· cit this year.

The maintenance cost. of iceplant in the quadra ngle in front of Throop hall is negligible.

The cost. of the "iceplan t out-iceplant in" operation, now near­ing completion, is $1000. No new iceplant has to be purchased.

To m aintain gl'ass in the same area would, according to B&G estimate, cost $1000 more than iceplant per year.

To put grass in initially in this area-to prepare the soil and install a sprink IeI' system-would cost $5000.

Thus to p lant grass this year instead of iceplant, without even taking into account upkeep, would run the Ins titute $4000 farther into 't.he hole. This $4000 represents the income on $100,000 of its endowment money.

After looking carefully at these figures, the B&G Committee decided On iceplant. Since t.he Institute will probably continue to look up at the break-even poin t for some time, the committ.ee will probably continue to decide against grass.

Possibly the above figures sound like chicken feed to you w hen compared to a $7,500,000 a year business like Calteell. Possibly you think that the cost-difference represen ts a so und invest.ment in goodwill and increased efficiency and happiness on campus. You may be even a little dubious about the efficiency I'a ting of a depart· ment that requires a $1,000 outlay mere ly to pu ll that darn s tuff up and stick it back in the ground again. But to assume that the efficiency of this department is going to increase merely because grass is planted in paJce of iceplant is certainly not justified.

That. is the story on iceplant. If someone could be found who would donate the $5000 to get grass in, the C.ommittee might make a favorable decision . It's not beyond the real m of possibility. But barring the appearance of an y such p ublic·spirited soul, the fuLure can 'be nothing but an icy one.

Research Program Produces Technique for Tapering Molten Nylon Bristles

Difficult mechanical problems solved by Du Pont chemists

and engineers to make nylon paintbrushes practicable

N ylon bristles used in toothbrushesnnd hairbrushes are uniform in diameter­that is, they are " level. " But paint~ brushes made from such bristles did not paint well. Studies of the best natu~ t a l bristles showed that they were ta~ pered, so a research program to produce

.tapered nylon bris tles was started . Some d ifficult mechanical problems

were encountered . Level brush bristles were being made by extruding molten nylon through spinneret openings de­signed to produce filaments of perfectly uniform dia meter. A new technique had to be found to make tapered ones. S ince it was not practical to taper the fi la­ment after cooling and drawing, a pre­cise taper had to be put in just as the nylon emerged molten from the spin­neret, And it had to survive the drawing operation, in which nylon is stretched to several t imes its original length!

Technlquel originated In laboratory

The original idea for solving this prob­lem came from Du Pont chemists, who

MOLTEN NYLON

worked out the techniques in t he la b­oratory, ' in the somewhat crude form represented in the accompanying dia­gram. It bei ng large ly a mechanical problem, chemical a nd mechanical en­gineers were ca lled in to cooperate soon after the studies got under way. After further laboratory development, the engineers put the operation on a pro­duction basis.

The final result was a highly efficient p rocess for tapering nylon bristles. As the molten filament emerges from the spinneret, pinch-rolls driven by a series of gears pun it slowly, then quickly. The size of t he filament varies with the speed of pulJing-thick d.iameters re­sulting at slow speeds a nd thin diam­eters at fast. Next the nylon goes to the drawing operation, where it is stretched by rollers to give it strength and resiliency.

Englneerldeslgned Ipeclal machine.

Following spinning and drawing, in which many filaments a re handled si­mUltaneously, the nylon is "set." Then it goes to a special machine, designed by Du Pont engineers, which "feels out" t he crests and troughs and cuts the bristle at these points. This type of design was necessary because of the un­a voidable small variations in t he length of individual bristles. Sorting the bris~

ties and sandpapering their ends com~ pietes the process.

Many techniques contributed to the development of t he optimum properties of ny lon in tapered bris tles . At the lab­oratory stage, x-ray studies were made to learn the effect of various degrees of crystalization on bristle drawing and setting. Numerous devices were designed to test the bristles-for example, a ma­chine that simulates the abrasive effect on a brush swept back and forth over a surface. Even after manufacture was established, high-speed stroboscopic photography and other stroboscopic studies were employed to improve co­ordination in the various operations and make a more uniform product.

The development of these bristles furnishes a nother stri king example of the great variety of problems, often intricate, that may arise out of the dis­covery of a new substance like nylon.

In development work?

The conception of an idea in 0. research laboratory is merely the sta rting point at Du Pont. Men with training in mechanical, electrical, metallurgical , and chemica l engi­neering a re required to d emonst.rate the practicality of the laboratory findings, in­cluding small-scale operation of the new process. Even after the full-s~le plant is operating. d evelopment work is continued to improve efficiency. Write for booklet.
