Degumrned Castor O i l THE Pawling Refining Corp., Port Chester, Ν . Υ., w i t h its Paluszek process produces 100 per cent degumrned castor oil which, when blended wifch mineral oils, is said to h a v e great lubricity and wetness, brought about by i t s ability to lower the surface tension. The completely degumrned castor o i l has an unusual natu ral solvent action as a detergent upon sludge, carbon, and engine varnish, in both gasoline and Diesel engines. On January 15, the c o m p a n y moved into its new plant i n Port Chester, Ν".

Field rheostats are tapered or uniformly wound, as required, to provide control for sepa rately or self-excited generators. They are available in a series of 10 wattage sizes from 25 to 1000 watts.

T H E six sight glass fittings announced by the Cochrane Corp., 17th Street and Alle gheny Avenue, Philadelphia, Penna., last year have been supplemented by five smaller sizes with screwed connections. Sizes range from 0.75 to 2 inches for the new screwed connection fittings and from 2.5 t o 8 inches for the flanged design. Bodies are of cast iron for pressures to 125 pounds per square inch. Pyrex windows are held in place b y gasketed steel frames. Weights have been reduced on all sizes. Transport Pump D E S I G N E D originally for high-speed fuel ing of airplanes and for trucks transporting high-octane gasoline, the new Granco Model H H F Transport pump, a product of Granberg Equipment, Inc., Oakland, Calif., is also said to have important indus trial applications, especially for moving inks, paints, light solvents, oils, etc. The relief valve is submerged, chatterproof, and readily adjustable from outside the pump. The outboard ball bearing is integral with the pump, ensuring perma nent shaft alignment. There are no valves, gears, cams, blades, drags, scoops, rings, or washers, no dragging or sliding motions, and the pumping action is brought about by the natural squeezing motion of the Granberg rotor. M e t a l M a t e of Glass A PATENT issued t o Howard Scott, re search engineer at t h e Westinghouse Elec tric & Manufacturing Co., E a s t Pitts burgh, Penna., covers a new way of using Kovar, the Westinghouse alloy which is a perfect mate of glass, t o seal parts of vacuum tubes used in the radio and electric power industries. Kovar is a mixture of iron, nickel, cobalt, and manganese and has the unusual characteristic of expand ing at the same rate as glass as the tem perature rises. Thus it forms a strain-free seal to keep unwanted air out of glass vacuum devices in which electrons gener ate x-rays or radio waves or transform alternating into direct current. Kovar also resists the corrosive action of metallic vapors, such as mercury and sodium, which are used in some of these vacuum devices. I t is used in conjunc tion with a hard, low-expanding type of glass.
