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.
16 INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS of feed-back apparatus in steel, plastic, rubber, and paper manufac- turing. HARNESSING THE RAINBOW (Challenge Series) ... See page 50 INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS OF RADIOISOTOPES (1961). 57 min- utes, color. Produced for the USAEC by the Army Pictorial Center. For sale by Byron Motion Pictures, at $160.33 per print, including ship- ping case. This semitechnical film surveys the current widespread uses of radio- isotopes throughout American industry. Three major areas of use are described: nuclear gauging (thickness, density, and level), radiography, and tracing—with various examples of each filmed at 26 sites nation- wide, including the rubber industry, thin strip metal production, plas- tics, paper mills, nylons, food canning, cement, submarine construc- tion, oil industry, automobiles, etc. Covered briefly are luminescence, static elimination, isotopic power, and uses of high-intensity radiation. Basic principles are explained by animation, followed by examples of in-plant uses. Benefits to the consumer and manufacturer are high- lighted. The excellent safety record is noted. The film, although of interest to a wide audience, is designed to acquaint industrial manage- ment with the versatility, economy, and ease with which radioisotope techniques can be adapted to plant requirements. THE INDUSTRIAL ATOM (Magic of the Atom Series) . . See page 57 MACHINES THAT THINK (Challenge Series) .... See page 51 OPPORTUNITY UNLIMITED: FRIENDLY ATOMS IN INDUSTRY (1962). 28 minutes, color. Produced by the Army Pictorial Center for USAEC's Division of Isotope Development. For sale by Byron Motion Pictures, at $81.77 per print, including shipping case, F.O.B. Washington, D. C. This popular-level film, narrated by news commentator John Daly, surveys the widespread use of radioisotopes by American industry to make better products—from ships to nylon hose — more efficiently and with an impressive record of safety. By means of animation and live action, the film explains what radioisotopes are and how they are used to (1) measure and control the thickness of sheet materials, (2) mea- sure densities of materials, (3) control product quality, (4) increase flexibility and mobility of industrial radiography (taking X-ray type pictures to assure safe construction), and (5) act as tracers to follow physical movement and chemical reactions. Examples are given of thickness gauges of nylon cord-rubber ply for automobile tires, sheet
