A student-designed solid
fuel rocket scheduled to shoot
up 26 miles when fired will
be one of the featured d i s
plays of the mechanical engi
neering department in Rich
ards during the E-Week Open
House Thursday.
Other mechanical engineer
ing displays range from the
pouring of molten aluminum
and brass to a booth answer-
CE Window
Already Known
As A Winner
A display showing one of
the newest engineering proj
ects in the Nebraska area that
has won a nat'onal award for
its outstanding design will be
presented in the window of
the Gas Company by the Civil
Engineering department.
The display consists of a
replica of the Missouri River
pipeline suspension bridge at
Plattsmouth, Nebraska, and a
small portion of the river. A
background, which depicts the
relation between the acad
emic and the practical appli
cation of the engineering
principles, consists of large
blue prints and various instru
ing questions about commer
cial fuels and lubricants.
Hot Ore Flows
The foundry will be pouring
molten ore into molds at 8
p.m. when M. E. students
dressed like spacemen will be
handling the white-hot metal.
A metal spinning display
will demonstrate how sheets
of aluminum are formed into
bowls and cups like those used
pn the dinner table.
For anyone who ever won
dered how underwater dam
ages are repaired, modern
methods of underwater weld
ing with electric arc and ace
tylene torch will be displayed.
A block of wood will be
burned with a jet of cold air
as part of tne displays on
power.

demonstrate modern tech

The roar which will be
heard on campus during E

a 375-bushel capacity bin. The
device will be operated from

the air blast heated by a pro

Devices to measure the
moisture in the soil and tell
the rate the water moves

demonstrated. The devices
are called "ir-

Maximum fuel economy will
be shown through the use of
a dynamometer and a flow
gauge. A carburetor will be
set up to show how to get
the most out of a gallon of
gasoline in an internal com
bustion engine.
Tire Strain
Strain gauges will be used
to show strain on tractor tires.
Tractors will also be used in
the weight transfer demon
stration. Weight transfer will b
measured by the application
of strain gauges to the front
axle and using certain calcu
lations. The agriculture engineers
will show through displays
and demonstrations the im
provements and aids which
have been made in agricul
ture through the use of engineering.
