I Machines That Are |l 4 Almost Human P I By E. C. TAYLOR | The Electrical Doctor MACHINES suffer ailments and breaks just as human beings do, and the “illness” or breakdowns on the part of machines has cost industry a tremendous sum each year. So science has produced the “electrical doctor.” This device diagnoses the ailment of a machine accurately and instantly, and directs its cure. The “electrical doctor” doesn’t commute, juggle figures, or answer questions, but Its marvelous performance Is almost akin to the thinking* and skill of the human brain, and if does its task without the possibility of errors of the human brain. An “electrical doctor” is stationed at nearly every electrical transformer In the country. Scores of other machines are to be guarded by these “electrical doctors” and similar devices, and science has scored another triumph of saving time and money. The “electrical doctor’s” name is coronaphone. It is a device so sensitive that a slight variation in sound will put it to work. High voltage transformers make a humming sound ail the time; that'lk, when nothing is the matter with them. When anything goes wrong, the sound changes. It was upon this change in sound that scientists based the working of the coronaphone. Only certain things can happen to a high voltage transformer, and each of these things has Its own distinctive sound. ’ The coronaphone pays no attention to the peaceful, industrious humming of the transformer when all is going well, but just as soon as the transformer becomes ill, or has anything the matter with it, it lets out a squawk, and the “electrical doctor” gets on the job. The coronaphone instantly notifies headquarters. It tells not only what is the matter with the transformer and where the trouble is, but it diagnoses the ailment and makes a complete . and accurate report, all in the time it takes to flash a signal. The principle of the coronaphone Is that of starting action by sound. The squawk- of the ailing transformer is recorded on the coronaphone, and starts it operating. The distinctive sound of the ailing part of the transformer notifies the* ’“electrical doctor” just where the trouble It, and also what the trouble is. An automatic flash to headquarters promptly brings the repairmen, and the threatened breakdown in electric sen-ice Is averted. Electric service companies formerly had to employ hundreds of men to hunt down trouble when transformers and power lines got out of order. Besides the waste in energy, there often long delays in finding the seat ; of trouble and making repairs so that , service could be resumed. : The “electrical doctor” Is the outI growth of necessity. When electric i service companies in the large cities realized the necessity of supplying electric current to outlying suburbs and territory many miles away from the central power plants, they put their problem before scientists. Large forces of men could not be employed to care for these extensions, and the ! service would not warrant the build- ■ i Ing of complete power plants in every fsuburb. i §o the “electrical doctor” or cor- ’ onaphone was devised. As a result, i in all cities and densely populated I sections of the country, there are now complete electric substations where ' the electric current is strengthened I and distributed without the aid of a single human hand." Automatic maI chinery is constantly at work, guarded over by the “electrical doctor.” (©. 1931. Western Newspaper Union.! Chinese Fortunes Vanish Recent news of the once powerful Marshals Wu Pei-fu and Chang Tsungchang shows how quickly the power of Chinese leaders can vanish. Wu Pel-fu, who In 1926 was rated as one of the greatest militarists In China, who controlled an area with a popular tlon of 60,000,000 people, and held the rich city of Hankow, Is now petitioning General Tsung-ho, one of the minor commanders in Szechuan province, for a monthly allowance of $2,000 Mex—less than S6OO in Aineri- ‘ can money. The one-time great marshal admits that if this grant is not made to him he will have to dismiss his bodyguard of forty men. Four years ago he commanded an army of 800,000. Chang Tsung-chang, who until the earlv summer of 1928 ruled Shantung and its 30,000,000 people and commanded an army of 250,000 men, while he regaled himself on a special train. Is now living as an exile tn Beppu, Japan. Moroccan Table Manners The youthful sultan of Morocco, who has been paying a state visit to Paris, . has had European instructors, and is therefore, better versed in western table manners than some of his predecessors. Abdul Aziz, who was deposed in favor of the last sultan, used to make his official banquets rather trying for European guests by a YmWt of biting an orange or a then passing it on to one or other of them as a special mark of his favor. In later life he consented to learn from a French officer the art of handling a knife and fork, and was so pleased with these new toys that he insisted on trying to eat his coffee ice with them. Remunerative Admiration *We give admiration to one who has great wealth,” said Hi Ho, the sage of Chinatown. "It costs nothing, and if wealth returns the compliment in its own terms, we may find the bargain profitable.”—Washington Star. “The Play’s the Thing” The difference between a swanky neighborhood and a potjr one is that tn the former the kids act like children and in the later they act like kids.
