@122 Stage Lighting

 

Last Friday, January 10, the Arm-
our Branch of A. I. E. E. had for its
speaker Mr. K. R. Ross, of the Gen-
eral Electric Company, who spoke on
“Chicago Civic Opera Stage Lighting
Control.”

The Selsyn Thyratron system is
used for the control of the lights.
Selsyn is a famous control system
which has been used for some time in
the control of the Panama Canal
locks and water leye'li' Thyratron is
a power supply system which pro-
duces a desired voltage by varying
the phase differences of two electro—
motive force waves. The Chicago
Ci 1vic Opera has 147 such control
units and although the arrangement
appears very complicated, it is a
great time saving device and has
other features, such as a small con-
trol room, automatic control and pre—
setting control. A. higher efficiency is
possible with this control system than
with the 01d type of resistance con-
trol. because the power which is used
in the former is very small and 1s not
direptly connected in the power cir—

.rcuit". In thew Opera it controls a load
of 12,050 K .W.

The Physics Laboratory will close
for the semester on January 25 ac—
cording to an announcement by pro-
fessor '1‘. E. Doubt. Students who
wish to have reports accepted for
credit must hand them in not later
than noon January 28.

WRHTES FROM HOME AT ZUMCH, SWHTZERLAND

A most pleasant surprise was re-

in his mail box from Zurich, Switzer-
land which proved to be from our be-
loved, shall we say “Ex-Dean,” Louis
Celeste Monin, retired since May,

presenting the following enclosed let~
ter to his many friends at Armour.

To the Alumni, Faculty and Stu-

Deeply regretting my inability of
answering letters, postcards, and

communications of all kinds from my
friends across the ocean, I beg you to
accept through the columns of the
Armour Tech News my sincere
thanks for your kindness and my
grateful acknowledgment of your
loyal friendship.

The greetings which I receive from
U. S. are the joys of my days and the
treasures of my heart. To you all
my thanks, my sincere wishes for
your welfare, and the season’s hearty
greetings.

At a recent meeting of the Armour
Tech Athletic Association, election of
officers and discussion of old and new
business was executed. All old oili-
cers were re-elected. P. C. Huntly,
president, G. S. Allison, treasurer and
W. C. Krafit, secretary.

Student president W. K. Simpson
appointed J. Zolod as school social
chairman

Much of the discussion was with
reference to the presentation of
awards to the various interclass ath—
letic teams. Instead of awarding in-
ter-class contestants with sweaters as
was the custom in past years, the
A. T. A. A. has decided to present
jewelry charms, designed to be e111—
blematic of the sport represented.

The number of men eligible for
major awards on the inter-class base-
ball team was limited to ten and the
manager. Awards to the basketball
team was limited to five and the
manager.

Awards to the victorious inter-class
track team will be similar to other
class charms. However, the number of
awards and to whom they shall be
presented is to he decided by Truck
Coach, A. A. Stagg, Jr.

In the future the Rifle Club is to
receive the some consideration as
minor sport teams.

were riding hit an obstruction in'the
roadway while attempting to pass a
log wagon. Because of their precari-
ous position on the rear'fenders the
brothers were thrown into the air.
Fred upon descending was fortunate
to fall on his side, on the ground, his
brother, however, fell on the log
wagon and before he could be reached
he fell to the roadway and was run
over by the wheels of the conveyor.

Several hours later the boys arrived
at a hospital in Birmingham. It was
found that Fred had sufi‘ered internal
injuries in his right side while his
brother was suffering with u frac-
tured skull and two broken legs.
Three hours later Fred’s brother died
as a result of the injuries.
