Industrial N o t e s Two new colors of their sulfanthrene series have recently been put on the market by K. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. They are Sulfanthrene Orange R paste and Sulfanthrene Scarlet BB paste. These two colors arc said to be particularly adaptable for use in ginghams, shirtings and so on where fastness to launder ing is a prime essential. They correspond to pre-war types of Hydron Orange R and Hydron Scarlet B B , respectively. A meter for indicating and recording t h e rate and volume c: coal passing through a mechanical stoker has recently been marketed by the Republic Flow Meters Co. The device takes into account the rate of travel of the stoker grate and the area of the opening through which coal passes and gives a continuous indication of opening of grate and of the total amount of coal passed. The Poole Engineering & Machine Co., Baltimore, have re cently put on the market two new types of reduction gears. The Link-Belt Co. has opened a new office and warehouse in its own building in Detroit. The new address is 5938 Linsdale Avenue. Formerly this company's Detroit office was located on Woodward Avenue. The General Electric Co. has recently perfected a portable cardiograph for recording heart actions employing vacuum tubes for amplifying heart currents. The device has proved practicable on demonstration and is the first portable instrument for this purpose. A device for releasing lire smothering foam automatically has just been put on the market by the Foamite-Childs Co. The device operates upon beine exposed to a rise in temperature and delivers automatically 100 gallons of foam.
