SCIENCE-ADVERTISEMENTS

Dr. Victor Paschkis at the operating bench of the heat-flow computing "model" in ColumbiaUniversity's Dept. of Mechanical Engineering. The big recording machines are Micro-

max instruments, which give final temperatures in heat-flow measurements.

Micromax Records Results of Heat-flow AnalyzerTime and effort needed for heat-transfer com-

putations are reduced-usually much reduced-by an electrical computing circuit now in Colum-bia University's M. E. Department.

Developed by Dr. Victor Paschkis, the equip-ment consists of resistors and condensers, so ar-ranged that they can create a low-inductancecircuit.

In this- circuit, current behaves much as heatdoes in a furnace or building wall, or otherobject. As it flows, some of it remains to "fill"any condensers in its path, while the rest con-tinues; just as heat "fills" anything in its paththrough a solid conductor. The analogy is suchthat the designer can create a "model" of a con-

templated heat-transfer equipment simply bysubstituting electrical quantities for thermal ones.Thus, thermal conductivity is represented by elec-trical capacity; temperature, by voltage. Btu'sbecome coulombs, and Btu's per hour becomeamperes. And duration of heat flow, which maybe hours or days,- can be represented by minutesof current flow. Or, a process which occurs in

seconds or fractions, may be stretched, to facili-tate analyses.The net results of the circuit's operation are

shown by various instruments, perhaps the mostimportant of which are two Micromax Re-corders. These instruments record the voltageswhich correspond to temperature, just as similarinstruments record thermocouple voltages else-where.

Applications of the equipment include prob-lems in heating, quenching, and cooling of metals,glass, chemicals, cement, coal, etc.; design ofbuildings, vessels, refrigerators, and furnaces; ap-plications in the food industries, in prime-moverdesign, brakes and clutches, and elsewhere. Themethod is described in Vol. 64, No. 2, Trans.ASME; in May, 1941 Power and in July '42ASHVE Jrl.Jrl Ad EN-33-480(1)

EDMUND BEECHER WILSON1By Professor THOMAS HUNT MORGAN

CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

EDMUND BEECHER WILSON was born on October 19,1856, at Geneva, Illinois. The first sixteen years ofhis life were passed there.When Wilson was not quite sixteen his uncle Davis

suggested that he take over the "little country districtschool" that his brother Charles had taught the yearbefore. The offer was thirty dollars a month andboard (with his aunt and uncle). "When the ther-mometer stood at thirty degrees below zero, as it didat times, this was, I assure you, no joking matter.I wonder how the modern city-bred youth would likesuch an experience. I had only twenty-five pupils orso, of all ages from six to eighteen, and I had to teach

all grades, from the three R's up to history andalgebra."In the following summer he was in Geneva, where

his cousin, Sam Clarke, had just returned fromAntioch College. "As the summer passed I had grad-ually made up my mind to try for a college educationand a life devoted to biology or at least to science.""I had nothing but my two hundred dollars' and withthis in hand I packed up my meager outfit in Sep-tember and started for Antioch College in SouthernOhio." The college was a very simple one but withsound ideals. "We had good teachers. Here, for thefirst time I received regular instruction in zoologyand botany, in Latin, in geometry and trigonometry
