Still furthe'l'more the al1Mnni may be helphl-l, as 11$any have in the past, by "'I'eC1"u,i ting"; tha,t is, by calling the attention of well-p1'epa/red b1'ight y 01tng men t o the opp01't1mities offe1'ed in the 1nineral incl1.05tries and 1'ela,t ed engin ee1'ing fi elds so t!wt they ulti11$ately tWI'n thei1' steps towa rd R olla, A follow -tlp of this, of co1lrse, is ass1:stance by the alumni in giving a wO'l'thy y01mg gradua,te a job 01' helping to find one f01' him, I n both of these a,ctiv1:ties, both organized effo'r t by the Al1,l mni Associa,tion and indiv1:dttal activ'i ty by each alum1t1ls can be helphl-l, T o Hl1nma1'ize this may 1 say that I am confident t!wt w hile much yet 'remains to be done by the state in Hl-ppo1'ting 105, by the adminis t1'ation and the faculty, and by the al1lmni in thei1' 1'espec tive fields, the good 'reputation of the M iss01t'l'i S chool of 'Mines has been maintained dU'l'ing the t1'yin g yem's 1'ecently passed thr01l-gh, and tlwt w1:th a cha.nge of psychology the things 1'emaini11g to be done can be ta,c !~led in orde1' and with aSS11-1'anCe of success.

SPECTRUM ANALYSIS In 1937 the D epartment of Me tallurgicil l E nginee ring of th e M issouri School of M ines and Meta llurgy purc hased a la rge grating spec trog rap h, for use in in struction in spectrum a nalys is, and for solving pro bl ems encou ntered in ge nera l met all urgy, chemica l a nal ys is, a nd in ore-testi ng. Thi s inst rum ent, together with accessory equipm ent, has aroused co nsiderab le i nteres t , :lIld th e purpose of the prese nt artic le is to briefl y desc rib e the bas is of spectrum a nal ys is, a nd of the instru m ents used for th at purpose.
If a su bsta nce, a bar of iron for .e xample, be hea ted in a furnac e, it commen ces to glow, first a du ll red, a ye ll ow-ora nge, and fin all y a dazzling w hi te. If the light em itted by th e ba r Df iron be exam ined a t thi s st age by a spec troscope, th e spectrum is see n to cons ist of a co nt inu ous band of colour, ranging from deep red at one end to violet at th e oth er. Thi s is a continuous spectrum, an d is cha racte ri stic of hi ghl y heated soli ds or liquids. If t he temp eratu re is raised to a poin t where th e iron will vola ti li ze (as for exa mple, in the electri c arc ), a n a bru pt ch a nge w ill occur in the c ha racter of the li ght em itted; the continu ous spectrum will be replaced by a di sco ntinu ous or line spec trum. Thi s consists of a mu lti tude of fine bright lines crossing a d ark backg round, a nd the wavelengths of th e lines are pecul ia r to the spectrum of iron, and of iron alone.
If so me meta l other th an iron be vo lat ili zed und er simil ar cond iti ons, a line spectrum will also be shown by t he spectroscope, but the positi ons of th e lines will not, exce pt in certa in rare cases, coincide with th e lines of iron, nor with the lines of any other element.
pri sms to d isperse the light, a nd a viewte lescope. The eye-piece of the v iewt elesco pe may be repl aced by a photograp hic plate, thu s co nve rt ing th e inst rum ent into a spectrog ra ph.
The a rc is operated on 220 volts D . C. and from 5 to 10 a mps, depend ing on the cha racte r of the sa mpl e under investigation. The housing will accommodate eight sa mpl es.
In th e case of th e grating spec trog raph t he collim ating lens, th e pri sm a nd the objective of th e v iew-telesco pe a re repl ace d by a circu la r di sc of speculu m meta l, ground and pol ished to a sp heroid al concave surface. Upo n th e co ncave surface are rul ed ma ny th ousa nds of ex tremely fin e lines. T hi s ru led surface has the property of collecting t he light from t he slit, di spersing it into its co mp onent wavelengths, a nd fin all y focuss ing it up on the photograp hi c plate of fi lm. The spect rograph of th e D epar tment of Meta llurgy has 44,000 lines rul ed ac ross t he t wo inch grating. Such g ratings are expensive, for th e rulin g is performed mechan ica ll y by a selected di amond poin t under strictly m aintained conditions of temp erature control. The rulin g ta kes fr om three to five days of co ntinuou s operation, and the outcome of th e operation is unknown un til the ruling is comp leted. The temp erature must be m ainta in ed to wi thin one onehundredth of a degree; th e machine is started from outside the ru ling room , and no one ente rs until the grating has bee n co mpl eted.
Meta llic sa mples a re usual ly turned to 1. inch d iameter, a nd use d directly as electrodes. Sm all sa mples of meta l may be d rill ed, a nd the dri llings volat ili zed in th e crater of a ca rb on arc. No n-conducting materials, such as oxides, sili ca tes, o res, etc. , are h andl ed simil a rl y.
F igure 1 shows th e diffrac tion grating spect rograp h. A is the cast aluminum a rc-housing conta ining th e electrodes. T he fin s radiate sufficient heat to keep t he housing re aso nably cool during th e vola tili zation of a sa mple.
T he li ght from t he electric a rc is focussed up on the slit B by mea ns of a quartz lens. T he reason for u sing q ua rtz is that t hi s materia l is very transpa rent to light of ve ry short wavelengths, as well as to th e ordinary visibl e an d infra-red radi ations. Were a glass lens to be used ve ry littl e ultr a-violet li ght wou ld be transm itted, and th e spectrog ra ph wou ld be rendered useless for th is particu lar wavelength ra nge. The diffraction gra tin g described a bove is hou sed in C. Approp ri ate ad ju stm ent sc rews for collim ating th e grati ng are situated behind th e housing. Two shutters in the fron t portion of the housing permit adju stm ent of the effec ti ve a perture of th e grating a nd hence control of the ex posure requ ired for photog rap hin g the spec tr a. T hese shutters open hori zontall y and do not reduce the resolving power of th e spect rog ra ph .
H ere, then, is th e ba sis of spectrum a nalysis. A substa nce is volatili zed at a hi gh temperature, thereby effec ting t he emi ssion of t he characteristic li ght rad ia ti ons of the elements prese nt. T he D . C. electric a rc, a nd th e high-tension electric spark supply th e high temp erature necessa ry in most meth ods of spec trum anal ys is. T he light comi ng from the volati li zing substa nce must be collec ted and broke n up into the radiations characteri stic of th e elements prese nt, prec isely as we coll ect the rad io waves by means of an antenna, and then so rt ou t those we desire by mea ns of a receive r. The spec trosco pe se rves this purpose. Briefly, thi s co nsist s of a slit colli mat ing lens to render the light fr om th e slit parallel, a prI sm or

The TECHN OGRAM
T he ca mera proper is shown at D. The focus of the gra ting li es up on a curve of five feet rad iu s. Thi s is sh arp cu rvature and does not permit the use of ordin ary glass photog raphi c pl ates. Sta nd ard 35 mm. motion picture film , or the heavier cu t film , is used a nd is eminentl y sa ti sfacto ry. A grea t adv a ntage in the use of film is the complete lack of breakage pec uli ar to glass plate. F ive spectrum regions m ay be photog rap hed . The shortest wave length region is from 1800 to 4200 Angstrom units. The longest is from 9600 A ngstrom units to 12,000 Angst rom units. For ordin a ry qualitative and quantitative spectrum a na lys is, the two regions 2400 to 4800 A. units, and 2800 to 6200 A. units are used. The other read ings are for specia l wo rk. For the first of these t wo positi ons ordinary orth oc hromat ic emul sion is used . For the second range ( th e v isibl e region ), sup erse nsItI ve panchrom atic emul sion is ava il abl e. By me a ns of an ingeni ous di aphragm, a nd a rac k- a nd-pini on sys tem which moves the camera ve rtic all y, seve n spectra may be consecutively photog rap hed on th e film. In other wo rd s, th e spect ra of seve n unknown substa nces m ay be photog raphed on one film. It is prefera ble howeve r, to photogra ph some st and a rd spec trum in juxt aposition with the unkn ow n spectra. A typ ical exa mple is shown by the lowe r illu st ration on th e cover. E and K spec tra of special steels. G and H a re spectra of two copper alloys. F a nd J are spec tra of ingo t iron u sed in thi s case as the sta nd a rd. These six spec tra we re obta ined on one film. The spectrum shown at A is that of iron co nt aining a la rge amou nt of calcium. The wave length s of a few of the iron lin es a re indic ated. B, C , a nd D , are the spect ra of graphite, ingo t iron, a nd of lead. The in dica ted cya nogen bands ari se from th e u se of gra phite elect rodes.
It has been menti oned t hat th e lines em itted by the elements a re quite cha racte ri stic. U nd er ordin ary co ndit ions of excitat ion (as in th e electric a rc or spark ), the elementa l spectra a re independent of the state of combi nation of the elements. T he spectra of, say, lead chl orid e lea d carbonate, and meta lli c lea d, are identi cal, onl y th e posi ti ve or meta lli c rad icl e y ielding its particu lar spectrum. N itroge n, oxygen, sulphur, flu orin e, chl orine, bromine, an d iodine, do not yield characteristic spectra when in the combined state, a nd , unl ess special methods a re ado pted, ca nnot be detec ted. The remaining elements, metals and metalloid s, all y ield cha racte ri stic spectra

U nd er ordinary circum sta nces quantitative spectrum a na lys is is limited to the determination of elements which a re prese nt to the extent of one per cent or less. The method supplements ordinary chemical analys is, an d does not repl ace it. Two special problems ent ailing spectrum analys is are at prese nt ne a ring completion. The fir st , und ert a ken in coll abo ration with Dr. Grawe of the D epa rtm ent of Geology, has been a complete semi-qua ntitative analysis of th e fill ed-sink ore deposits of Missouri. The second problem is th e accurate determin ation of calcium flu oride 111 zinc su lphide Aota ti on concentra tes.
FIG. 2 irrespective of their sta te of combinati on. A spec trogram hav ing bee n made, it is necessa ry to identify the lines present. This is performed on a comp a rator (see figure 2, A). Ba sicall y this co nsist s of a low-powe r miscroscope fitted with a fil a r micrometer eyepi ece a nd a travelling stage actuated by an accurate lead screw. Wavelength s m ay be computed by me asuring the dist ances of the unknown lines from known lines. The iron spectrum is u suall y photographed in jux t apositi on with the unknown spec trum. As th e wave length s of th e iron spectrum h ave been ve ry accura tel y determined , the unknown wavelength s ma y be computed and identifi ed from wave length t ables. One, or a t most t wo, characteristic lines suffice to establish the presence of an element in an unknown sa mpl e. At B in figure 2 is shown a spec trum plate viewing box. When an operator has acquired sufficient prac tice he m ay rea dily identify th e lines of th e elements by simpl e v isual inspection in pl ace of acc urate wavelength measurements.

/lGee, Mom, Were They All Poor Peaple?" "Not exactly poor, Bobby. They had money. But they didn't have all the nice things that we have-such as a radio, and electric lights , and a vacuum cleaner. You see, they didn't have electricity, or automobiles, or airplanes. Most of those things hadn't even been invented."
E
VEN as late as 1900, only one American home in every seven had a bathtub; one in 13 h ad a telephone; one home in 30 had elect ric lights. There were only 8000 automobiles . Manufactured products were scarce and expenSive. Today there are 20 million bathtubs, 18 million telephones, 22 million w ired homes, 2S million automobiles, and millions of other manu-
factured products w hich were unheard of in 1900 but are now plentiful and sell a t a fraction of their former cos t. General Electric scientis ts and engineers, by applying electrical methods to the tasks of indus try, have helped to provide us wi th the many products that contri bute to our comfort and conve nience, and to the hundreds of ser vices which we enjoy today.
