RCA HEATS WORLD'S FAIR RIVET BY RADIO
A demonstration of the future possibilities of radio was given at the World's Fair Grounds yesterday morning when radio waves were used to heat the last rivet driven into place on the steel framework of the Radio Corporation of America's exhibit building.
The rivet became white-hot in a little more than a minute, as Robert Shannon, Vice-President and General Manager of the RCa Manufacturing Company of Camden, N. J. , held it sus¬ pended in a concentrated field of radio waves. ThenH. C. Bonfig, Vice President (Commercial) of the Company drove it into place.
To carry out the operation, the oscillator unit of a regular radio transmitter was set up on the framework of the RCA exhibit building. Usually, it was explained by company engineers, the output of an oscillator is directed into an antenna, but in this case it was directed into a coil of wire. Thus, instead of being broadcast over a wide area, the radio waves were concentrated at the center of the coil, generating intense heat.
XXXXXXXX CLAIMS NEW STATIC CURB
The static which endangers airplane operation by obliterating communication between the pilot and ground stations may soon be a thing of the past, a New York commercial research laboratory announced, the Associated Press reports.
Flight tests of a new ultra-high frequency apparatus show the system is virtually free of interference in bad weather. Heretofore snow, rain and other adverse conditions usually have set up a crackling on airplane communications channels.
