B.F.Goodrich FIRST IN BUBBEBThe Eye \That Never Closes —a speck of metallic oxide im- bedded in a glass bead hardly larger than a pinhead and mounted in a vacuum. The thermistor was developed by Bell Telephone Lab- oratories to keep an eye on the amplification in long-distance tele- phone circuits. When a thermistor is heated, its resistance to electric current changes rapidly. That is its secret. Connected in the output of re- peater amplifiers, it heats up as power increases, cools as power decreases. This change in temper ature alters the resistance, in turn alters the amplification, and so maintains the desired power level, Wartime need brought a new use for this device which can de tect temperature changes of one- millionth of a degree. Bell Laboratories scientists produced a thermistor which could “see” the warmth of a man’s body a quarter of a mile away. ‘Thermistors are made by West- em Electric Company, manufac- turing branch of the Bell System. Fundamental work on this. tiny device still continues as part of the Laboratories program to keep giving America the finest telephone service in the world.

NEXT MONTH the lineup of fea- tures and story-telling pictures is so outstanding that every one is worth shouting about in this col- umn, “Inside the ‘Atom City’? takes you to Oak Ridge, Tenn., for the hitherto untold story of what goes on behind the walls of the most restricted area in the world. “Narrow Gauge Movies” opens new vistas for the 16-mm. camera fan and reveals the important role these films will play in future tele- vision programs. “Home Town Circus” is going to put a lot of ideas in the heads of community boost- ers. If they can do it in Gainesville, ‘Texas, why not in Earlville, IIL, or Grand Island, Nebr.? Then there's “Special Delivery House,” intro- ducing a new type of prefab that can be erected by one man. “How Good aDriver Are You?” ispacked with some alarming figures and a challenge to every auto owner. HOME CRAFTSMEN planning to furnish a room for a younger mem- ber of the family get the first call next month in the Craftsman sec- tion. Complete details are given for the construction of two chests of subdued modern design and built of choice cabinet woods. ‘There's also a practical feature on servicing your vacuum cleaner. ‘Another story tells how to shape plastics by a simple heat-forming process.

CHRISTENSEN the “Fix-it Man” w L, I guess I'm the fellow to see, for VV rve repaired thousands of refrigera~ tors (home and commercial both), vacuum cleaners, radios, washing machines. irons, fans, lamps, mangles, motors, etc. In fact, many of my customers call me their “elec trical appliance doctor.” And, “doctoring,” might add, has paid me a good substantial income for quite a few years. Funny, in a way, how I got started. Always liked to tinker and by experimenting around I found that most electrical appliances had many things in common. That, regardless of what the appliance was used for, or who the man- ufacturer was, the basic principles were much the same, From fixing my own appli- ances to fixing friends’ and then for strang- ers at a fee, seems now to have been but a small step. What to Charge? At first, I let the owner decide the charge and, frankly, I was amazed at what I earned er hour, But then, when one figures what itial costs are involved in buying most electrical appliances, one can Teadily see that spending extra’ dollars for repairs is well worth while. Before long I was making more in my spare time repairing than from my regular job. The result... I went into business for myself. When war came, busl- ness boomed, for new appliances were not available. For a while, repair parts (needed on some jobs) were a little difficult to get. But that Situation quickly adjusted itself and many repair parts were given the high priority rating of AA2. After all, we had to provide for the health and well-being of our civilian population. ‘The Future Offers Friends ask me about my future. And, I think I've got a grand one. Age is no hand: cap in repairing. I have in my files enthusi- astic letters from repairmen ranging in age from 18 to 79 years. Now the war is over we are certain to see hundreds of new prod- ucts on the market .. . products that the average person never dreamt of. These new products and our old appliances are all go- . ing to need at some time or other “fixing.” ‘Well, I'l still be the fellow to do it. The field open for appliance repairmen is unlimited. Idon’t worry at all about too much com. petition. If You Are Ambitious To the contrary, I’ve prepared a complete course, chuck full of simple, easy to under- stand photos and drawings and written in the same non-technical language as this article.

But not only did I build a complete television receiver chassis, but I hhad a lot of fun doing it. And P’ve learned 0 much that I'm well on the road to becoming an expert. how to go about it—until heard about N.Y.T.L. of N.J. I went there with my discharge papers, and they did the rest. They showed me how the Vet- erans Administration would pay up to $500 a year against my total educational expenses, under the G. 1. Bill of Rights. This meant that Thad to pay very litile out of my own pocket. It’s a hig breal for veterans like myself—especially when you get subsistence allowances in addition. And part-time jobs are easy to get so you can earn extra money. Of course, all of the students here aren’t veterans. ‘What bothered me at first, was that my mathe- matics was kind of rusty, I soon found that the school had brush-up courses in math and even had facilities for teaching radio math from the begin« ning to students who had never had a high school education, I convinced them that I was sincere Advertisement POPULAR MECHANICSand enthusiastie and that I was technically in clined, and so I became a student. You ‘a you just can’t build a television set right off. 1 built seven radio sets and had to go through a total of 75 electronic experiments, before “5 would even let me start on a television receiver, Then I began work in earnest. The instructors around here have plenty on the ball, and it was (.. amazing how fast I progressed. Boy, school was never like this. You should see the magnificent equipment. There’s a swell gang here. They come from all over, because practical television schools are hard to find, and N.Y.TI. of N.J. has a ‘wonderful rep when it comes to television, I don’t believe that you can find betier training anywhere. Another thing I like about N.Y.TI. of N (New York Technical Institute of New Jersey) is the convenient location. It’s right in the heart of America’s electronic industry, (Newar only 19 minutes from New York City. television and electronics manufacturers are near- by—like RCA, General Electric and Edison. So are the hig network stations like WJZ, WEAF and WOR. This means that the school is always right in touch with the latest developments. ‘The conditions here are ideal.
