—and carne away with a great idea !"
ree Saturday morning, and I wanted to surprise Joe with a
fresh apple pie—but discovered I was short on sugar. So I ran
across to the Jones’ to borrow some.
But I came away with more than the sugar!
Bill Jones was busy at work — installing a beautiful new floor.
And he told me it would never need waxing because it’s factory
pre-polished!
I got so intrigued, it was almost lunchtime when I got home. My
poor Joo never got his pic that day. Instead, he had to Hsten to me
tell him all about the stunning Goodyear All-Vinyl Flooring that
smart Bill Jones was installing himself!
‘That afternoon, Joe went across to the Jones’—then he was gone for
a while down to the shopping center.
Next thing I knew he was home—ready to do battle with our old
kitchen floor! He went to work like a professional — armed with
beautiful Goodyear All-Vinyl Tiles, and the handy self-installation
kit which provides all the necessary tools.
Our new Goodyear All-Vinyl Floor was in before the weekend was
over—and Monday night my Joe not only got the finest apple pie a
proud wife could bake, but reast beef with all the trimmings!

BALANCED CAR SUSPENSION
for greater riding comfort
Behind Chevrolet's big-car riding abilicy is a loc
more than just a suspension system. Actually
it's a balanced combination of size, weight,
weight distribution, tires and suspension system
design that gives you that smooth ride you
expect of a Chevrolet
rst of all, Chevrolet offers plenty of room
in its wide, comfortable seats, cradled between
front and rear wheels where they're least
affected by road bumps, Chevrolet is a heavy
weight in its field, and the pounds are nearly
equally distributed on all four wheels for
greater stability.
‘Then in the suspension system itself:

sive with Chevrolet in its field. A front ride
stabilizer chat reacts against any body roll
tendency. Long, resilient rear springs thar,
leaf by leaf, diminish road vibrations. Tension
type shackle hangers thar regulate rear spring
defection rate and provide for a uniform
tide regardless of the number of passcngets.
And, double-acting airplane type shock
absorbers that not only cushion spring action
but stabilize roll and body sway as well.
See your Chevrolet dealer and try out a new
Chevrolet. See if Balanced Suspension doesn't
give you a much smoother tide.

THE
EDITORS
In the vivid story beginning on page 116,
Roy F. Hall, former Army captain and now
a Weather Bureau abserver in Texas, tells
of his tornado studies after surviving @
twister that wrecked his home. In a sub-
sequent letter Captain Hall describes his
home experiments in reproducing tornado
phenomena in a glass jar:
The trouble with tornado research has
been that those pursuing it have dwelt too
much on theory, while the means of simple
experiments were right at hand. Wish you
could have witnessed my glass-jug experi-
ment, wherein I determined the rotational
welocity necessary to force air out into a
vacuum. I used up three glass gallon jugs

in doing this before I eventually found that
the jug had to be reinforced with several
wrappings of heavy copper wire to prevent
it flying to pieces, Balancing them true to
the nth degree on the axle was something
to bring on nightmares.
T used reducing pulleys in order to have
the jug rotate at about 800 feet per second,
With the motor turning at 1725 rp.m., the
jug flew to pieces and small particles of
glass buried themselves in my barn 75 feet
away. I wrapped the next with several
turns of copper wire, but it was slightly out
of plumb and blew up like a shotgun blast.
‘The third did the business. It was wrapped
from top to bottom with the wire and, be-
ing perlectly balanced, lasted throughout
my tests, even up to a rotational velocity
of 1000 m.p.h

The experiment had to be conducted
after dark, as nothing could be seen inside
the jug at high-rotational velocity in day-
time. At night, by directing a flashlight
beam upward, the hollow vacuum in the
center looked like a rigid, hollow glass tube,
at speeds of 1400 fips, and above. The high-
er the velocity, the larger the vacuum,
The jug merely proved my figures on
1400 Lp.s. as the velocity required to form
a tornado vacuum, or funnel, The walls of
the jug, of course, would not expand as
would air at sea-level pressure, but this was
compensated for by the cooling of the air
within the jug by the carbon-dioxide fumes

To the Editoi
I have been able to build a working
model of a 4-6--type locomotive with tend-
er and a coach from memory, without con-
sulting any blueprint. The model was made
out of cigarette packets, odd bits of card-
board, bamboo, wire and springs. Motion
pins, crank pins and axles are made of bam-
boo. Rubber bands supply the power.

Wooden Road
Ending service of 34 years is a 14-mile
road built entirely of planks and logs on
Graham Island off British Columbia, The
road was built in 1920 to connect two fron-
tier villages separated by treacherous mus-
keg, Whale logs were cut about three times
the lengih of railroad ties and used to
support the two-inch-thick planks which
formed the roadway. As a result, the wood-
en road actually floated on top of the bog.

POPULAR MECHANICS INVENTORS
If you believe that you have an invention, you should find out how
to protect it. The first step is to have a search made of the prior
pertinent U. 8. patents. If a report on this search indicates that
the invention appears patentable you can apply for a patent, and
the specifications and claims should be prepared
The firm of McMorrow, Berman & Davidson, with offices in Wash-
ington, D. C., is qualified to take the necessary steps for you. We can
make a preliminary search on your invention, advise you whether we
think it can be patented, and prepare your application for patent.
‘Unless you are fully familiar with the U. S. Patent Laws, we recom-
mend that you engage the services of a Registered Patent Attorney
to protect your interests. The patent laws are your laws. A patent
gives you the right to prevent others from making, using or selling
the invention claimed in your patent for a period of 17 years.
‘Use these patent laws for your protection. Investigate whether your
invention can be patented, If you have what you believe to be an in
vention, we suggest that you have this firm make a search for you.
Send fer a copy of our Patent Booklet entitled
“How To Protect Your Invention,” containing in-
formation about patent protection and patent
procedure. Along with this we will also send you
an “Invention Record’? form, for your use in
writing down and sketching details of your in-
vention. We will mail them promptly. No obli-~
gation. They are yours for the asking.
