Single Dip
Double Duty
A hot-dip solder operation is accom plishing several things at once for The Whitlock Mfg. Co. of West Hartford, Connecticut. The company recently added finned heat transfer tubing to its product line and found that a molten lead-tin bath was the answer to two big problems. A quick and economical means was needed to bond fins to the tubing, and at the same time they wanted to give the entire assembly a corrosion resistant coating.
Corrosion resistance was desired because finned heat trans#ar tubing is widely used for cooling corrosive fur nace gases and in heat exchangers for chemical plants, power stations and other often severe environments.
The finned tubing is made by spiral ing a thin metal ribbon on edge around pipe or tubing of various kinds and
sizes. Of course the solder-dip proves ideal for permanently bonding fin to pipe.
In addition to this double bonus, R. 0. Morse of WTitlock points out that the lead bath offers other advan tages too. For instance, the high heat conductivity of lead means that the lead-tin coating will allow heat to pass on through the fins without giving an '`insulator" effect. One indication of this is the fact that Whitlock's finned tubing increases radiation from 4 to 10 times that of bare pipe.
One of the problems that had to be solved before production could begin, however, was to design and build a good furnace that would rapidly melt 5 tons of lead-tin pigs. Since the bath is needed only at irregular intervals, not on a continuous basis, a rapid
firing automatic gas furnace was se. lected. It is capable of heating the solder to 700F in two hours. The tank measures 21 ft. long by 20 in. wide by 1 ft. deep, and holds 250 solder 40-lb. pigs with ease.
Tubes for the finned heat transfer tubing are made of a w ide variety of materials: steel, stainless, copper, or copper-nickel. Fins are made from copper, steel or stainless steel.
Since the edge of the fin where it comes into contact with the tube is corrugated (see detail drawing above) the Whitlock tubes give superior per formance over smooth fins. This is due to greater turbulence at the cool ing surface caused by the crimps, and also because the crimps put more metal where it is needed to conduct heat from tube to wall.

One event of the rodeo was a bullfight where the matador was pitted against a nimble, but not-too-feroeious bull.
UNION ELECTRIC BOLDS 0 BATTERY TRUCE RODEO
Late this fall Union Electric Com pany of St. Louis held a rodeo for batterv powered plant trucks. The cor ral was their own all electric Dorsett Warehouse and a city-fellow caterer supplied the chuck wagon and acted as wrangler for the 750 guests. In place of mustangs, cow ponies, and brahma bulls there was an array of 60 workhorse electric trucks. Most of the guests were so impressed with the performance of the steeds that some good old fashioned horsetrading took place and more than one battery pow ered truck had a new brand on its flank after the show.
In addition to reviving a good old American tradition, this rodeo served two other purposes: it showed poten tial users first-hand evidence of the advantages and economies of electric vehicles, and it helped to develop a new market for Union Electric Com pany's product, power.
The guests had a chance to see for themselves that lead-acid battery pow ered trucks have a minimum of moving
parts, thus low maintenance require ments. The utility pointed out, too, that electric power is more of a bar gain than ever -- it has not been part of the general inflationary movement which has carried maintenance labor, parts, and other expenses of compet ing trucks to as much as two or three times the pre-war figure. Savings in using electric trucks are so great that it is not at all unusual to pay off the difference betw een first cost of an elec tric and first cost of any other truck in the first year or so.*
From Union Electric's point of view, each electric truck is a desirable con sumer of electric power. In the first place most of the battery charging is done at night when electrical loads are low. In the second, the hefty mus cle power of a typical two-ton fork truck develops an appetite for elec tric power comparable to that of elec tric space heating in a typical home. The two-ton truck, for example, uses electric power at the same rate as 48 100-watt light bulbs.
tn the best tradition of rodeos, much of the interest was in looking over the horseflesh at the stables.

The evolution of lead sheathed and other telephone cables goes back to about 1878 when Alexander Graham Bell in a talk in London stated "It is conceivable that cables of telephone wires could be laid underground, or suspended overhead, communicating w ith private dwellings, country houses, shops, etc., uniting them all with a central office where the wire would be connected as desired, establishing di rect communication between any two places in the city."
About tw o years later his prediction became a fact when wires enclosed in
THEN
"Heave-ho" as in tug-of-war was the way they used to pull cable cores through lead pipes. Lead presses which automatically sheath the wires in lead made this method obsolete shortly before 1900.
The first insulation in these cables was gutta-percha or rubber. It was soon discovered that these materials were not suitable for land telephone use. In 1881 the Western Electric Com pany began the manufacture of lead covered cable. The selection of lead as the cable sheathing material was dictated primarily by the physical re quirements, notably its adaptability to extrusion and its corrosion-resistant properties. By today's standards these properties are still significant.
In early lead covered cables the electrical insulation was sisal and cot ton which was impregnated to prevent the entrance of moisture. A significant development during this period was the introduction of strip paper insu lation which became the dominant material for many years. The insu lated wire was drawn through succes sive lengths of lead pipe previously extruded and laid out in straight pieces, the different lengths being joined together by plumbers' joints.
During the period between 1881 and 1920 many changes were made to im prove cable quality and increase pro duction. In addition to improvement in insulation, extrusion presses were redesigned so that the lead alloy sheath could be extruded directly on the cable core, eliminating the timeconsuming and laborious task of pull ing cable through a pre-extruded pipe.
These lead covered telephone cables take on many outward appearances depending on the functional and en vironmental conditions under which they will be expected to operate main---(TOt. fnr many years.

LEAD) THULIUM) Partners in space-age power TELLURIUM)
A new model thermoelectric gener ator for supplying electricity to small space satellites or solid state electronic equipment uses lead telluride elements to convert heat from radioactive thu lium to electricity.
The conceptual design of the ther moelectric device has been assembled and successfully tested by engineers of General Electric Company's Special Purpose Nuclear Systems Operation and the Vallecitos Atomic Laboratory.
Pencil-sized thermocouple modules, each containing its own heat source and thermoelectric elements are con nected in series and installed in an in sulated container.
Each of the pencil modules in the generator consists of two lead tellu ride thermoelectric elements with an encapsulated thulium-170 heat source in the middle. The temperature drop along the lead telluride produces elec
trical current. Lead telluride was used because it is the most efficient con verter of heat to electricity at low temperatures.
Special instruments are used to measure the temperatures and electri cal output. During initial tests, the generator produced a power output of 1/2 watt. Tests are continuing to eval uate the long-term performance.
Development of the thermoelectric generator was sponsored by the U.S. Air Force which is interested in find ing a reliable means of providing small but continuous amounts of elec trical power primarily for aerospace applications. This small generator. General Electric says, could also be used to power underwater naviga tional beacons and other remote un attended devices needing small power supplies.

Cobo Hall in Detroit is one of the largest exhibition buildings in the world. It covers 12 acres and contains 1.633.000 square feet of usable space in its three floors. Its water and sewer system are large enough to serve a city of 70.000 inhabitants and its air conditioning system is equivalent to 7.000 window air conditioners.
Good planning in a building this size demands more than vastness. At tention to detail is one of the hall marks of good architecture and just as important as the staggering statis tics at Cobo Hall,
For example, in a building like this, with a maximum length of as much as 900 feet, the monotony of endless cor ridors must be avoided or relieved. Devices to do this mav take the form
of changes in materials, areas or spots of color, built-in points of interest to focus attention or to divert it. One of these devices, used in a main corridor by the architects Giffels & Rossetti of Detroit, is a combined pool and plant box. It serves to mark the transition between the Convention Arena and the Exhibition Hall.
The pool itself is in the form of an almost complete circle, partially en gaged at the wall. The planter is at tached to the pool and runs parallel to the wall (photograph I. Although the function of each is different, the need for completely waterproofing both is essential since they are located directly over an air conditioning equipment room. The architects chose lead as the most reliable form of
waterproofing and made it an integral part of both the pool and the associ ated plant box.
The pool itself, as a decorative ele ment. was finished inside and out with tile. In this case the lead was used as an underlayment. In the case of the planter however, which would be filled with earth and plantings, there was no need to cover the lead lining with fin ish materials.
In both cases 4 lb. soft lead sheet was used and all joints were burned. The accompanying section illustrates how the components were combined into a single decorative unit which, along with the not inconsiderable help of Carl Milles' bronze sculpture "Sun Glitter." forms an extremely attractive display.

QUIETING THE DENISON
Hydrofoil vessels are not a new idea, but prior to the NS Denison noth ing of her size and scope was seriously contemplated in this country. The craft is over 117 feet long, 23 feet abeam, weighs 95 tons and travels at better than 60 knots I 70 mph I.
Surface piercing foils located on each side of the hull carry 85 f'c of the Denison's weight while a fully sub merged tail foil carries the balance. Rough water operation is enhanced by a 5 foot clearance between the keel and the normal water surface when the boat foilborne. Power is supplied by a big gas turbine engine not unlike those used to power jet airliners.
Because she was originally designed as a test \ehicle. the Denison's interior had to be slightly modified when it was decided that the craft would also be used for demonstration purposes. The prime task was to furnish a com partment within the hull to accommo date 12 passengers. The compartment had to be comfortable and quiet. This meant that the roar of the huge turbine had to be subdued.
The passenger compartment is lo cated well forward, below the pilot house. The aft bulkhead of the com partment is finished on the inside with glass fiber drapery hanging free of the surface. The forward face of the bulkhead is perforated sheet alumi num which retains a glass fiber batt two inches thick. This is supported, in turn, by the after face of the bulkhead, a sheet of 0.060 aluminum stiffened
with vertical Z-bars. On the noise source side the facing is a leaded vinyl flexible sheet weighing 0.48 pounds per square foot and spaced Vi" off the bulkhead face.
In all, the bulkhead measures about 21x8 feet and takes only three inches of space to the face of the drapes. The combination of toughness with soft flexibility in the vinyl sheet has made it possible to seal the sheet to the hull with cement and seal it tightly around piping which must pass through the bulkhead. Both of these locations, if left unsealed, could pass enough sound to make the cabin quite noisv. The leaded vinyl is a coated fabric which has ample strength to support itself and resist wear and tear. It is fastened to the bulkhead by bolts, through one-quarter-inch washers, on

two-foot centers. By spacing the sheet away from the
rigid bulkhead surface, Grumman en gineers have assured themselves of ob taining the most efficient performance possible! Mass and limpness are two of the key factors in blocking noise transmission and this method of sup port permits the limp-mass of the high density barrier to exert itself.
Among the other soundproofing measures taken was use of a false deck floating on vibration isolators within the compartment, the use of sound ab sorbent materials within the compart ment, and careful sealing of cracks and gaps with lead-loaded vinyl strip.
The lead-loaded vinyl fabric, Coustifab. is 0.030 inches thick and con tains powdered metallic lead dispersed in a vinyl binder. The base side is a pre-coated woven glass fabric which is coated with the lead vinyl, and then topcoated w ith a tough gray vinyl fin ish-coat. It is one of a number of standard weights, colors, and grades of Coustifab produced by the Cordo Division of Ferro Corporation, 34 Smith Street, Norwalk, Conn.
Not only have Grumman people been pleased with the results of their soundproofing, they have had many favorable comments from visitors. Some of them have said the cabin is quieter than the cabins of jet airliners -- a real accomplishment considering the close proximity of the engine. Grumman engineers give much of the credit to the leaded vinyl sheeting.
Soft lead tubes blast holes in steel
Short- sections cut from the ex truded lead tubes show the explo sive filling in its characteristic "shaped charge."
Small diameter lead tubes filled with explosive are now being used for cut ting sheet steel, separating stages in space vehicles, for controlled destruc tion of missiles and for conducting completely confined explosive detona tion signals.
The explosive-loaded tubes have a V-groove on one side. When this grooved face is placed down on the metal to be severed and the explosive is detonated, the blast pressure focused by the sides of the groove cuts the metal. This "shaped charge" principle was widely used in World War II for armor piercing projectiles. These ex plosive loaded lead tubes or Flexible Linear Shaped Charge (FLSC) are designed and manufactured by The Ensign-Bickford Co.. Simsbury, Con necticut.
Lead was selected for the shaped charge primarily because of the ease
with which it can be cold worked. Lead is more ductile than other avail able metals and, particularly important when working with explosives, it does not heat up significantly during form ing. Its flexibility and chemical stab ility are also advantageous, according to Ensign-Bickford.
