We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

What might take years is compressed into months for many projects and this is as it should be duriiiK war. Individuals doing re- search and research organizations have been quick to see the need and have responded to the challenge with a determination that presages success in advance of the final ac- Cdunting. Application of continuing re- search is all to war projects. Peace- time services continue essentially status quo or are completely ar- rested and set aside. We look for- ward to the day when our war job will be done and we may again di- rect our research to direct benefits of mankind. Today, we can but jilan and visualize that which we will do tomorrow. .Just as surely as research is important and necessary in the prosecution of the war, so will the present increased program of re.search be important and neces- sary when converted to new objec- tives in the working out of the peace. Radio, in the past, has been a means of transmitting speech and other intelligence from point-to- point or broadcast. As a means of control and of navigation, its uses have been restricted. Just before the war research in very short waves (radio) w-as pointing the way to many specialized uses. After this war, the practical applications of these results will expand quickly to all means of transportation and movement. Aeroplanes, ships and ground vehicles will "see" in all weather conditions and tracks for their movements will be "rails and channels" of radio. Planes, ships, motor vehicles, etc.. may come and go in safety without regard to weather, obstacles or possibility of collision — radio and electronics, through their broad realm of ap- plication, will make this possible. Electronics will rapidly assume new roles—some now clearly known and others scarcely visualized. We will count and compute by electronic methods. We will see by visible and invisible light; through electronics, things near at hand or far away, things possible to view by eye and things impossible to view directly, or by any means known in the past, will be made visible to man. The electron microscope is an example of the power and promise of elec- tronics. Just as the electron micro- scope opened new frontiers in fields F. E. GRESWOLD. J. J. MC NEILL, AND L.
