Lightning Effects By Man-Made Bolts LEROY, N.Y. (UPD - Leßoy is a “lightning” town. And the lightning, of man-made variety, is just as potent as nature’s, with electrical kicks of some 2,250,000 volts. The simulated lightning is being manufactured at the John Lapp High Voltage LaboratrA, «si*arch and development branW Otjfcipp Insulator Co., Inc. The purpose is» to develop insulators and hardware that can contain the wallcy along a 750,-000-volt test transmission line. The test line, which would carry twice the power supply of present utility transmission systems, is being built jointly by American Electric Power Service Corp, and Westinghouse Electric Corp. The role of the Lapp Laboratory in the project is to contribute research information and materials to serve as insulators M clamps and fittings. At the Lapp LfiWatory, voltages duplicating that of lightning are created by an impulse generator for testing metal and porcelain materials. Brent Mills, executive vice president of the Leßoy concern, said one of the obstacles facing engineers is adapting material# to control corona—flashing or sparking clamps and insulators. The corona, often visible and sometimes audible, is particularly violent at extra-high voltages and causes power failures and interference to radio and television reception. The Lapp Laboratory, erected m 1954. is designed with a bank of transformers for 60-cycle testing to 1,050,000 volts as well as the impulse generator for artificial lightning at 2,250.000 volts. Mills said research work is expected to be completed within a year, and Lapp will supply equipment for the transmission line and switching stations to be constructed along the Ohio River at Apple Grove. W. Va. Cattle Brands Are Now Sign Language AUSTIN, Tex. (UPT) Cattle brands have become the sign language of the Southwest. Cattlemen attending the recent convention of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association in Austin pointed out that a good cowhand at roundup time might possibly know as many as 50 of the brands on sight and could figure out 100 more. Historians say branding is more than 4,000 years old, but its fame and ingenuity reached a peak on the plains of the American West. The first brands in Texas, when ■ it was still a part of Mexico, were

simple drosses burned into the flanks of longhorns by vaqueros. Later, letters and numerals were added for good measure, and reading the brands might be compared to reading hieroglyphics. Brands can be read in one of three ways—from left to right, top to bottom or from the outside in. An example of the left to right brand is the “2-FAT,” adopted by a rancher who was disillusioned with his own* waistline. Rancher Pete Coffin adopted an outside-in brand, marking his livestock with a “p" enclosed in the outline of a coffin. An example of the top to bottom brand is the top of a “y” running into a “j”, for the “Yes Jennie” brand. The rancher said the brand reflected his vocabulary frith his wife. At first, cattle were branded with a “running brand.” That was simply an iron bar just long •hough to be carried on the open range. But rustlers could also use a running brand to make changes and many states passed laws outlawing this type of iron. “Stamp” brands took their place, and cattle barons developed the individual brands that were more distinctive than a signature. Sometimes a well-known brand °? °* catt,e has been proof of identity, as when the foreman of the South Texas King Ranch
