Si algun dia bo haya bo mes

riba un caya di un solo direc-

Wel, bo por tira falta riba
Romanonan pasobra nan tam-

Pero realmente fahanan di

Traffic Problems

In the Early Days
Drivers have been exper-
iencing traffic hangups for
years. And chances are they
will go right on experiencing
them in the future. There's
really not much you can do
about it.
Since the early days, rules
have been set to cope with
traffic problems. They did it
their own way.
One Way
If you have ever found
yourself going the wrong way
on a one-way street, maybe
you have wondered who
thought up such an idea.
Well, you can blame the an-
cient Romans for one-way
streets, too. The narrow, win-
ding streets of Rome forced
passing charioteers to core so
close that whitewalled wheels
were scuffed. So Roman "traf-
fic engineers" finally declared
that "light carriages, delivery
wagons and hand chairs must
proceed in one direction only."
Concealed danger
Many a motorist has been
booby-trapped by a stop sign
hidden by brush or a cross-
road obscured by a cornfield.
He would have had no trouble
back in thirteenth century
England. In 1285 a law was
passed providing that "All
trees and shrubs must be cut
down for a distance of 2,000
feet on either side of the
roads between market towns
to prevent the concealment of
robbers in them."
Nowadays the real hazard
is when you can't see an on-
coming vehicle.
So What Else Is Old?
As you buckle your safety
belt you might think to your-


Today Are Many;

They Existed, Too
self, "At least this is one thing
they didn't have to fool with
in the good old days."
But actually safety belts
have been around for a long
time in one form or another.
Several of the early horse-
less carriages featured belts
to keep the passengers inside
the vehicles on bumpy roads
and in sudden stops.


They certainly had their
problems, those hardy travel-
ers of bygone times, but how
many would have dreamed
that traffic could be like it
is today?
As long ago as 713 B.C. a
Biblical prophecy in the Book
of Nahum, Chapter 2, Verse
4, predicted traffic conditions
that many of us today would
say tells it like it is.
The prophet says: "The
chariots shall rage in the
streets: they shall jostle one
another in the broad ways:
they shall seem like torches;
they shall run like lightning."
When you and your "char-
iot" get jammed up in traffic
and you're beset by frustration
and impatience and anger,
just remember that there's
nothing especially new about
your predicament.

I Mechanical Shops Renoba


Since last year, the Mech-
anical Shops have undergone
considerable facelifting. A
number of machines in the
Machine Shop have been re-
arranged. The new setup of
machines in diagonal position
instead of blockwise formation
provides a safer and more
space-saving arrangement.
The whole interior of the
building, including machines
and some tools, now display
a new soft green coat. Also
certain sections of the floor
have been painted a light
green at the suggestion of the
tradesmen. This gives the shop
a fresher look and contributes
to better housekeeping.
In addition to the new lay-
out of the Machine Shop, some
$28,000 worth of tools have
been ordered to keep up with
the latest developments and
techniques in modern shops.
These tools include the new
granite surface plate for pre-
cision measuring and some
pneumatic and hydraulic tools,
used for rapid disassembly.
Some work procedures have
also been improved. Two new
square tanks have been in-
stalled for washing and treat-
ing pumps prior to repair.
Work benches have been pro-
vided at a more convenient
height for workmen to work
in disassembling and assem-
bling pumps and other equip-
ment. New racks have been
installed to hold incoming
equipment that need repair.
Now a dry electric heater re-
places an oil bath heater for


heating bearings from 1000 F.
to about 5500 F. All these im-
provements are intended to
improve safety and efficiency
in handling jobs on pumps or
in fabricating parts for refin-
ery equipment.
Charged with the shop mo-
dernization program, which
started last year, is Charles
Miannay of Mechanical-M&C.
He was assisted by Leo Chad-
wick, formerly a consulting
engineer with Aerospace Tech-
nology Corporation of Bloom-
field, N.J. Leo, a mechanical
engineer, is here as an inde-
pendent consultant on further
shop improvements.
He is a retiree of ITT with
25 years of service. His last
assignment with ITT was
supervisor of field engineers
