boilers, pipes, and containers for oil and chemicals that the Westinghouse Research Laboratories, East FittsL:'rgh, Pa., are s t u d y ing i t with special apparatus. A special corrosion device has been built which greatly hastens the slow process of rust. In i t t h e test specimens are subjected t o intermittent immersions in a corroding liquid. T h e apparatus suddenly immerses t h e samples for a definite period, leaving them at rest, and then removes a n d exposes them to air for a definite period. They are m o v i n g oniy when being lowered or raised—a time which i s a very small fraction of t h e cycle. Samples are suspended from a rack b y glass hooks, horsehair, or silk, and a motor-driven crankshaft raises and lowers t h e rack. The driving motor is controlled by a timing device c o m posed of a synchronous motor operating a contact, which causes the motor periodically to turn the crankshaft a half revolution. The timing can be set for any cycle of t e s t operation. To obtain reproducible results the corrosive liquids are kept at a constant temperature by circulating water of a constant temperature along the outside of the vessels.
