Civil Upperulrrssmcn See Errors? of Trade Elolg. Wednesday, May 28, the sopho— more, junior and senior civils went on an inspection trip to the new Board of Trade building, They were conducted through the build— ing by Mr. Lewis, the superintend- ent of construction, who very con- siderately explained everything in detail. The Board of Trade building com— prises many of the masterpieces of architecture. The arcade is one of the most beautiful and elaborate ones to be seen anywhere. It is finished in marble imported from France. A quarry was leased in France for one year to supply all the marble needed. The wheat pits are in a mon— strous room, one hundred by one hundred and fifty feet and six stories high. Oak imported from England was used for all the wood- work. The lighting effects are done in the most modern style; translu~ cent glass being used throughout. The acoustic treatment was done under the supervision of the Uni« versity of Illinois. Six trusses are required to hold up the ceiling. Twelve stories are also carried by these trusses. There are three lower levels and the lowest is 60 feet below the street level. At present, work is being carried for~ ward to erect a 30-foot statue cast from aluminum on top of the tower. Of course there are a. multitude of other details which are the last word in architectural design and .4th on A warrior; sroorwrs wart" PEAEE university The members of the, aeronautical courses at the Institute, comprising senior mechanicals, and junior and Senior’kcivils, made an extended in— spectlon trip, ‘ Tuesday May 2'7. d and then went to the E. M. Laird Manufacturing Company. The trip opened with the inspec- tion of the National Air Transport Company, where the men were guided by John “Red" Harrower through the company's three han- gars and their extensive repair shop. Harrower explained in detail the various structural and acro- dynamic features of the ships, and then took the men into the weather bureau, where the methods of get— ting the proper data for flight is obtained by the pilots. The Universal Airways were next visited. Most of the ships were Fokkers in contrast to the Doug- las and Curtlss models of the N.A.T. The men were allowed to wander through the large passenger ship in the hangar, and see the details of the pilot’s controls. While there, a tri—rnotored Ford pulled in from Cleveland and discharged a load of passengers. At the E. M. Laird Company, the men were shown the various steps in the manufacture of an airplane. The Laird plane uses a Dural metal which weighs much less than steel of similar strength. All the planes made there are custom built, and are of the high speed type. The entire trip was arranged and conducted by Professor M. B. Wells, who is teaching most of the areo— nautical subjects at Armour. Estimate Elector?

Tuesday, May They were shown the precauti taken 0 prevent a serious fire as well as the manufacture of paints, enamels and lacquers. All the dyes, white lead, nitroce1~ lulose and other materials neces— sary in the manufacture oi their products are made at the plant. These raw materials are listed as a number, and used as such in the plant, the actual name being known only to the chemists. This precau- tion is taken to prevent the formu— las from reaching the hands of their competitors. The enamels and paints are made by the straight line process. That is, the materials pass from top to bottom, entering the storage tanks, passing through the grinders to the mixing vats, from which the fin- ished products are shipped. The plant is especially interesting from the fire protection standpoint since every precaution has been taken to prevent a serious fire in this hazardous industry. Fire doors, vapor-«proof bulbs, automatic sprinkler systems, and extinguish— ers of all kinds are found in the various departments. The trip, on the whole, was very instructive and interesting, al» though the spirit of the men was slightly dampened by the stormy weather. Flask and Beaker, professional chemical engineering fraternity, will hold an informal party Tues» day, June 10, in honor of the grad uating members.
