RADIOTHERMICS HAILED AS NEW FIELD
Two new fields aside from communication in which the appli¬ cation of electronics is repeatedly coming to the fore, according to a new booklet "Radio and Electronics", Just published by the Department of Information of the Radio Corporation of America, are radio frequency heating and supersonics.
"Both hold promise of speeding industrial processes and at the same time increasing their efficiency and scope. Radio waves may now be used to heat, dry, glue, stitch, anneal, weld and rivet, also to deactivate enzymes. Tnis new field is known as thermal radio. It processes a laminated airplane propeller in minutes compared to hours required by ordinary heat and pressure methods. Radio high-frequency •furnaces’ are a post-war prospect, and in them railroad ties can be seasoned quickly and ’cakes’ of textiles dried uniformly. Even rub¬ ber may be radio ’cemented’ to wood or plastic; cloth stitched and seamed by radio heat, metals hardened, plywood glued and fresh veget¬ ables deactivated without loss of flavor or color. The possibilities in this new thermic realm of radio are unlimited.
"Since radio and sound are so closely related, the research men in radio are busy exploring the entire sound spectrum, including supersonics, as a vast new field for expansion. Surprisingly, the application of sonic vibrations to chemistry, metallurgy, medicine and other fields has been sLow, but through radio research in RCA Laboratories new interest is being awakened in this highly promising field as various experiments indicate important possibilities. Radio and electronics are supplying the necessary research tools to open the sonic realm.
"Chemists naturally are interested in any new method that will enhance chemical reactions and create new products. Supersonics, according to scientists, may usher in a new age of chemistry. Radio may be used as a catalytic agent, in which case the subject falls entirely within the knowledge and experience of radio research men. They have high-power modulators that will handle from 250 watts to 50 kilowatts and even higher. This particular field of research is called ’ Cheroot ronics ’. "

CARTER, CHICAGO RADIO PARTS MANUFACTURER, DEAD
Alva J. Carter, 60 years old, President of the Carter Motor Company, inventor and a pioneer radio manufacturer and a founder of the Radio Manufacturers' Association, died in Chicago Sunday, at the Plaza Hotel, where he recently had been living.
He founded the Carter Radio Company in 1922, developing it into one of the largest radio parts companies. In 1928 he developed and demonstrated a new television system, using regular broadcast wave lengths and transmit voice and picture simultaneously over a broadcast band.
Mr. Carter was a member of the first RMA Governing Board tnrough 1924-25 and served on the Association' s Board for several years thereafter.
