"WATCHDOG" for wayward currentMine explosions caused by short-circuitfaults have been given a decided setbackby this new electrical guardian recentlydeveloped by the Mines Equipment Com-pany in conjunction with Westinghouse.Now, lines carrying electrical power

must pass through the "watchdog"-which consists of Westinghouse AB"De-ion" circuit breakers-before feed-ing to individual mining machinery. Then... if electricity fails at one of the cutters,

drills or loaders ... or if cables or machineinstallations break down and becomedangerous . . . this dependable "watch-dog" notes the change in current and theAB breakers automatically trip to shutoff the power.

Helping to prevent mine disasters withequipment like this is only one example ofhow Westinghouse engineers work con-stantly to solve the practical problemsof industry ... through research. G-10023

This volume of 20 papers treats of a field of science of rapidlyincreasing importance. In it engineering and limnology meet,

and government plays an important role.The papers in this new volume are not simply academic discussions of possibilities,

but of sound biological and engineering science as applied to current practice in

northern Wisconsin and Minnesota. The 12 contributors to this volume are largelyfrom that area, but several are connected with institutions from Ohio to Boston.

FOR ALL YOUR RADIOACTIVITY NEEDSWhy go elsewhere when all your radioactivity requirements can be ful-

filled at Tracerlab? If you ned radioassay equipment we can provide itwhether it be a sample container or the latest in automatic counting in-strumentation such as the Automatic Sample Changer. If your-require-ments are in the field of health physics, you can call on us for protectivedevices such as ionizafton chambr type Radiation Survey Meter, theLaboratory Monitor counting rate meter, or the Film Badge Service. Ourchemical laboratories will help you wth your synthesis and "hot" labora-tory problems by supplying carbon-14 tagged compounds or purifiedradioisotopes in convenient, useable form directly from stock. Consulta-

fion and laboratory facilities are available for special problems in healthphysics, radioassay work, synthesis of tagged compounds, or for carrying

out complete radioactivity research programs for medical, educational,government, or industrial organizations. Write for Catalog A-I forcomplete information on our instruments, facilities and services.
