As aviation progress has carried man farther into the upper air, he has found that nature has many tricks up her sleeve in the stratosphere. Many things that worked well on the ground wouldn’t do as well, or failed completely, in the space beyond the clouds. Things are truly different up there. CARBON BRUSHES ARE AN EXAMPLE -These brushes are the contact points that carry electricity between moving and stationary parts of motors and generators. They’re in electric razors, sewing machines, huge diesel locomotives —and in modern aircraft. . THEY COULDN'T STAND ALTITUDE-Today’s high flying planes require literally hundreds of small electric motors and many cafbon brushes. Here'was one of nature’s quirks, for brushes which worked well on the ground and at lower altitudes couldn’t take the thin, dry air of the stratosphere. They’d spark and quickly disintegrate. And if the brushes failed, the motors also would faiLw

children donated the money they won on the program to the Boyhood Home Restoration Association, Inc., an organization which is attempting to purchase both the land and the buildings of the site of Washington’s boyhood and early manhood.

sight by raising enough money to pay the mortgage and to restore the farmhouse. DIAL DATA: Judy Garland has been offered $25,000 to a guest shot on Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca’s “Your Show of Shows” on NBC-TV. So far no answer. Hollywood actor John Agar plays the lead in the March 9 “Fireside Theater” telefilm on Tuesday, March 9. Titled “The Farnsworth Case,” it is a study in character which evolves during a courtroom trial. Circumstances tend to place the guilt on Mrs. Farnsworth, played by Ruth Clifford. However, John Agar, as the defense attorney, brings the case to an unusual conclusion by switching suspects. Rev. Billy Graham, who just sailed for revival meetings in England, is reported to have turned down a fabulous offer to do a daytime video show ala Arthur Godfrey. Gertrude Berg stars in “Morning Star” on ABC-TV’s US Steel Hour March 2. Video play will be based on the 1940 Broadway hit. “The Morning Show,” starring Walter Cronkhite, Charles Collingwood and the Bil and Cora Baird marionettes, will be seen every morning on CBS-TV starting March 15. This is CBS’ answer to NBC-TV’s popular Dave Garroway show, “Today.”

UCC POUND THE ANSWER- The people of Union Carbide attacked this problem. Through research they developed special carbon brushes that worked uniformly well at all altitudes, making stratosphere flying a practical reality. OTHER AIDS TO PLYlNG— Better carbon brushes that keep motors and generators running, alloy metals that stand the terrific heat of jet engines, plastic insulation for high-alti-tude wiring, and oxygen that provides the breath of life in the upper air—these are but a few of the many UCC products that are helping aviation reach new heights. raiti Learn more about the interesting things you use every day.
