not one is going to huff and growl at you when you shop for nationally
known brands of men’s wear here.
W T hether or not they have your needs in stock . . . whether or not
you buy . . . you*ll receive an unhurried, friendly reception.
While the supply of several items still isn’t back to normal, we are
trying in every way we know to get the goods you want ... so, if it’s not
on the racks when you come in, be patient and try again later.
Another thing you can count on at Armstrong’s is dependable qual
ity ... for it is the home of such nationally famous brands as:

Electron Tube Nothing More Than Glass Bottle, Tin Can
And Piece Os Window Screen Engineer Tells Rotary
A glass bottle, a tin can, a bent
hairpin, and a piece of window
screen are about all there Is to
electrons, members of the Wyan
dotte Rotary Club were told at
luncheon Tuesday.
Translating the much publicised
science into terms easily under
standable to the layman, Gordon
Volkenant, Coordinator of New
Products Research for the Minne
apolis-Honeywell Regulator Com
pany, explained and demonstrated
"that electronics offers a method
of doing in a simple manner —a
very simple manner things that
otherwise would be difficult, or
often impossible.**
Speaking from a table crowded
with small and large tubes, sirens
that blew when anybody approach
ed them, whirling gyroscopes, a
bombsight and a model airplane,
Volkenant told club members how
electronics played a hitherto un
publicized, although important part
in the United Nation’s bombing
program.

FROM FLY POWER TO
ELEPHANT POWER
Speaking well over his allotted
time at the insistence of his audi
ence, the young engineer contin
ually stressed the simplicity of the
new science and criticized those
who attempt to surround the elec
tron with an aurora of mystery.
"The science of electronics began
about 30 years ago,” he continued,

AUTOPILOT DEVELOPED
IN THREE DAYS
The Autopilot, he said, was de
veloped to transform a bomber into
a "steady platform.” Through its
myriads of electronic circuits it is
capable of making more than 300
flight corrections a minute, or more
than five a second. It was respon
sible for the saving of more than
10,000 lives and 1,000 airplanes In
the Eighth Air Force alone. These
planes were safely returned to their
bases after manual controls had
been damaged or completely shot
away. The first model of the Auto
pilot, he continued, was developed
in three days and delivered to the
Army in a shoebox. He was quick
to point out, however, that the pro
duction model Autopilot was a pre
cision instrument far different
from the original version which
wvas installed on a Flying Fortress
about six motnhs before Pearl Har
bor.
JUST ANOTHER WORD
FOR CONTROL
Electronics is just another word
for control, the scientist who has
studied in 13 countries in Europe
as well as at American universities,
stated. "Automatic controls are
where my company lives—we make
more than 3,000 of them. And to
day the circuits of the Autopilot,
the blind bombing devices and some
of the other weapons we made for
the armed services are being modi
fied for peacetime living.
"You never know where you’re
going to end up in our business,’’
he concluded. “We were asked by
the Army to develop a gasoline
gauge for the B-29 program. It
was quite a problem, but we solved
it with electrons and came out with
a gauge that reads within two per
cent accuracy as compared with a
15 per cent error in the best of all
previous gauges. The funny thing
about that gauge, however, is that
We have already found about ten
different industrial uses for it. Just
for example, people in the grain
industry have told us they would
like one version of the gauge to
