5,200 MILES IN 12 ,INUTES:
Chile Earthquake Waves Reach Observatory
'I.
By BETTY KOFFMAN
Travelling 5,200 miles in twelve
minutes, waves of the carthquake
which rocked northern Chile Tuesday
were recorded at the University Ob-
servatory.
At exactly nineteen minutes past
noon, Tuesday, the finrst in a series of
waves made its appearance on the
Observatory's seismograph.
While the earthquake lasted less
than a minute at its source. the ree-
ords showed that waves came in forI
three hours, according to Mary E.
Lindsey, seismologic assistant.
Tuesday's quake was reported by
the Associated Press as the worst one
in Chile since 1939. when about 30,000
persons were killed. It, t6o. was re-
corded here on Jan. 24., with almost
300 aftershocks.
"As Chile is in a seismic zcne. it is
not uncommon for earthquakes to
cc'ur there,' said Miss Lindsey.
The University Observatory works
in cooperation with the Unitcd States
Government in determining the the
location of earthquakes.
"From one station, it is possible to
get only th"i c1dstanc,- away in which
the earthquake cectirs," explained
Miss Lindsey. "It is necessary to have
at least three stations report in order
to locate accurately the exact spot of
the disturbance."
A system of interpreting the quakes
and codifying the information has
been established and the reports are
telegraphed within twenty-four hours
to the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Sur-
vey, Washington, D.C., and also to the
Jesuit Seismological Assoc., St. Louis.
The report which was sent from
here Tuesday was the one hundred-
seventeenth wired to Washington
from the Observatory.
IOne morning about ten years ago,
Miss Lindsey came to her office, to
find a, recording of severe waves
10,000 miles away. Several weeks
later a runner from a Mongolian vil-
lage brought news to the world of a
disastrous quake which wiped out
most of the town.
Five finalists were selected in the
preliminary round of the Speech 32
annual spring contest yesterday.

Cooper, '44, Mary Alice Hahn, '45,

... another job Electricity is
doing to help win the wa~r
A MACHINE GUN firing 1200 shells per minue requires
mass production on a big scale to keep it supplied with
ammunition. The metal links that make a continuous
chain of machinc gun bullets are a good example. Mil-
lions of these links are turned out daily in a single local
plant, and thanks to electricity, the whole job is com-
pletely automatic from start to finish.
Starting with a steel strip, the stock feeds through mul-
tiple stamping machines to make the "green" link (not
yet heat treated). Then on a continuous conveyor belt, the
links go successively to electric furnaces for hardening,
to shot blasting machines, to draw furnaces for morejheat
treating, to a rust preventive bath, and finally to bins
where every link is tested for strength and accurate
dimensions. They then slide down a chute and are pack-
aged into waterproof cartons, which-after spot testing
by Army inspectors-are conveyed directly into box cars.
Machine gun links by the carload are only ONE of the
thousands of jobs that electricity is doing today in arsen-
als and war plants. Electric power is a weapon of war
... making its strength felt on the production lines that
