One is an aerodynamic tube, having in the upper part a testing section and in the lower part a chamber for conditioning the air temperature. Humidity and wind-velocity are obtained in the testing chamber. The control system of the measuring instruments is comparatively simple, especially the ‘*three-ele-ment” switchboard. Heating, cooling, dampening and drying aggregates are put into operation on an extremely wide range. By subjecting various kinds of

partition from a crisp Arctic day. All seasons of the year, summer and winter temperatures, calm weather and winds, humidity and drought, are reproduced in the same place, in the same building— the Moscow Laboratory of Climate Air is cooled in huge refrigerators, heated in electric furnaces, has its humidity controlled, and is given different velocities in imitation of wind. The reproduction of natural conditions is very accurate, coming within 02 to 0.3 degrees of variation in temperature
and 3 to 4 per cent in the relative
humidity of the air. The conveniences thus provided for scientific experimenters greatly accelerate the: tempo of scientific research. n ” ” NE problem studied is that ot snow retention and protection of railroads ggainst snow drifts.
Twice a Week
This is done with a wind tunnel in i which wind velocities are produced | identical to those actually observed in nature. { The tube is long enough to pro- | vide study of the effect of fences | and barriers on wind-blown snow | over a considerable distance. Snow is blown at model fences. By com- | paring results it is possible to determine the coefficients of efficiency | of various designs of snow fences. | This research has led to the dis- { covery of a new method of protec- | tion called “the active struggle | against snow.” It was found that
if several raised barriers are placed
on both sides of the railroad road- | bed, leaving a comparatively narrow | opening between the top of the railsway cut and the bottom of the barriers, and a current of wind and snow be blown through the opening,
| the wind (as tests have shown) will | force the mass of snow beyond the |
railway cut. This method of struggle: against | snow drifts is aiready in use (n the | railways of Siberia. | 2 = =» ASTERY of the complex of temperature and humidity is

a further complication of the methods of laboratory climate. Progress is being made in determining' the hardness of various crops under conditions of frost, heat and drought. This calls for highly scientific regulation of the temperature of the air. With the laboratory’s “frost machine” it is possible to obtain, without leaving Moscow, : & thermic and hydrometric soil regime which corresponds exactly tothe soil regime of, let us say, Station Skovorodniki on the Ussuriisk Rail- | way in the Far East. Glazed frost and: ice-crust on | winter wheat is an extremely wide- | spread phenomenon in the Ukraine; but up fo this time it has never been studied.

There is yet : another original problem in which the Moscow Laboratory of Climate has done important work, the testing of lubricants. ” EJ T the laboratory is a rallway car bearing-box inside of which is mounted the greased end of the axle. The qualities of lubricating grease in different seasons of the
vear and in various geographical zones can be studied under every imaginable climatic .condition by creating in the room corresponding
fabrics to these tests, the Moscow Laboratory of Climate assists in creating the most convenient and appropriate clothing for all kinds of industrial conditions.
