The Milwaukee company, a subsidiary of the North American company, has been taken as representative of the electric railway and light industry. Its activity in promoting its merchandise and services seems to indicate the general trend of the service industries to indulge in advertising and publicity work. That its work is not identical to that of any other …

A Study Of The Revolt In Modern American Literature As Seen In The Novel, Poetry, And Prose Fiction, Dovie Viola Ross

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

Since the earliest time that the human mind has been known to function it has played with two opposite conceptions ---all is fixed – all is changing. These two conceptions, affording the bases for opposing schools in philosophy and politics and supplying direction for the social forces of conservatism and radicalism, have naturally influenced our interpretation and theories of literature.

The Public Health Engineer's Part On A Health Program, Walter Eric Casey

Professional Degree Theses

"In this work the Public Health Engineer should not be confused with the Sanitary Engineer as the term is commonly used today. The Sanitary Engineer is primarily a designer or builder. He is, in fact, a civil and hydraulic engineer specializing in a rather restricted field, confined for the most part to works relating to municipal water supply and sewage. The Public Health Engineer on the other hand is primarily a student and worker in the field of public health. The range of his activities is wider, and his training and knowledge are of essentially different character. It is not …

Ventilation At The Portovelo Mines, John Paul Harmon

Professional Degree Theses

"This paper was written with two objects in view: (1) To describe in detail what has been done toward the ventilation of the main unit of the Portovelo mines and the results; (2) to give information that may be useful to anyone who may have to make a preliminary mine ventilation survey, with recommendations for the improvement of the existing system and finally the maintenance of the improved system"--page 1.

Preparation And Use Of Maps For Highway Purposes, Homer A. Hollingshead

Professional Degree Theses

"The Illinois highway system consists of about 10,000 miles of primary (state) roads, and 20,000 miles of secondary (county) roads.

The preparation of plans for a primary and secondary highway system of such size is an obvious step prior to construction and maintenance.

In order to coordinate administration, location, surveys, right of way, construction, maintenance, traffic, legal and political activity, maps of various scales and types are required.

This treatise will consider the types and classes of maps used by the state of Illinois for the purposes mentioned"--Part I.

Pressure Transmission And Green Strength Of Clays As Affected By Time Of Ageing, William Thomas Kay

Bachelors Theses

"Perfect dry pressing could only be attained if the mix possessed the properties of water in so far as pressure transmission is concerned. There are many factors, however, which tend to interfere with the transmixxion sic of pressure in the clay block, such as, - Differences in grain size, friction between the grains, entrapped air, dragging of the clay on the sides of the mould box and many other minor causes. In an effort to solve some the problems that are of vital interest to the Dry Press industry, the Committee on Dry Press Process of the National Brick Manufacturers …

A Study Of Water Supply Districts In St. Louis Where Excessive Waste Of Water Has Occurred, Randall Anthony Scheer

Professional Degree Theses

"The City of St. Louis contains within its city limits, according to the latest census, 870,000 people. The City is supplied with filtered water from two sources, one on the Mississippi River at the Chain of Rocks and the other on the Missouri River at Howard Bend. This water is distributed to consumers through 1,170 miles of water pipe and 147,912 service taps. Included in this distribution system are 14,334 fire hydrants and 16,884 valves. Every pipe joint, every fire hydrant, every valve and every plumbing fixture is a potential source of leakage, and it has become necessary to develop …

Die Steels And The Heat-Treatment Of Dies For Use In Die Casting Aluminum Base Alloys, Elmer Gammeter

Professional Degree Theses

"Although the casting of metals is an ancient art, it was not until recent years that metals were cast in large quantities in metallic molds. The increasing demands on the industry for greater production brought about this change which essentially involves the introduction of molds capable of producing numerous castings in preference to the use of non-metallic molds which were destroyed in making the casting"--General Consideration of the Die Casting Process, page 1.

Investigation Of Continuous Beams With Varying Moment Of Inertia By The Method Of Conjugate Points, Russell Arthur Bryant

Professional Degree Theses

"This design represents the application to a practical example of a rapid and direct graphic solution of the relation expressed by the Theorem of Three Moments. This method for obtaining moments in continuous beams eliminates the necessity of using arbitrary coefficients and gives the engineer an opportunity to exercise his ingeniuty [sic] and judgment toward obtaining efficiency and economy. The use of prescribed coefficients for continuous beams makes the design mechanical and unscientific and results in moments which may be 50% too small or 60% too large"--Introduction, leaf 1.

Development Of An Artificial Substitute For Firestone, Joseph Edwin Stevens

Bachelors Theses

"Firestone is a natural occurring silica rock which is cut up into brick and shapes and used for lining cupolas. This rock is found in the east, mostly in Pennsylvania. It is dense, having a porosity of 5.6% raw and 16% after firing to cone 18. Its volume expansion upon firing was calculated to be 19.2%. Its appearance shows that it is evidently fine grained silica bonded with a small amount of clay and siliceous cement. This rock has such desirable characteristics for use in cupola linings that it would be of great importance to duplicate this rock synthetically in …

The Effect Of Different Rates Of Ram Movement On The Transmission Of Pressure In Dry Pressed Bodies, Frank Joseph Zvanut

Bachelors Theses

"The object of this investigation was to study the relationship between the rate of ram movement during the initial application of pressure and the transmission of pressure in the dry press process; to study the effect of various rates of ram movement; and, as far as possible, to determine the critical rate for uniform pressure distribution within the body"--Purpose of Investigation, page 4.

The Purification Of Missouri Fire Clays, James Joseph Offutt

Bachelors Theses

"At the present time there appears to be an unlimited supply of high grade fire clay available for most any purpose. But some time in the future there will rise the problem of purifying the low grade clay to such an extent that it will be used in high grade fire clay products. Whatever purification method may be employed it must be applicable on a commercial scale and the cost of purification must be very low. Until the present time little if any work along this line has been reported. Apparently no one has ever attempted any serious efforts to …

The Effect Of Grain Sizing On The Strength And Porosity Of Refractory Grog Bodies, Robert Stafford Green

Bachelors Theses

"The object of this work was to determine the effect of grain sizing on the strength and porosity of grog bodies. The investigation was carried out by the general method of making up bars of varying grain composition and testing them for strength and porosity"--page 1.
