With taxes the way they are today, their worry is whether it will last as long as they do." new high speed electronic engraving machine was installed in the Sentinel office this week. It is known as a Photo-Lathand this week's pictures were made on it. As this is written, wc haven't seen the results and our first attempt may be terrible. Good or bad, wc hope to improve the quality of our engravings, and to use more pictures than ever. A trial of the new system some weeks ago convinced us that, with experience, better results at lower cost can be obtained by the new system. If you look carefully at pictures in this edition . . . use a magnifying glass if you have one . . . you will see that the halftone effect is obtained by many vertical lines which vary in width according to the lights and darks of the photo. Formerly, a screen effect '.is obtained, with a series of dots, instead of lines, creating the picture effect. Some of this t vni of picture will also be found in this edition. In use, original photos arc placed on a revolving cylinder, which is scanned as it turns by an electric eye. The Impulse's arc transferred and amplified i by a standard mechanism to a needle-sharstylus which cuts the scanned image itno a thin zinc pl;itc attached to a second cylinder. The machine is an ingenious combination of a i phono-grap- h amplifier, a lathe, an scanning head, and a cutting head. Previous machines were capable only of producing screened copy, but the model installed in the Sentinel office can also produce straight black and white printing plates. It can reproduce pen and ink drawings, charts, maps, advertisements, in fact almost any. copy, either black and white or colored. It will make possible reproduction of many pieces of copy not possible by other systems available. At least wc hope so, after wc learn to run It. Once the Photo-LathIs set up and started, it Is entirely automatic and operates unattended, shutting off its own switches upon completion of Uic plate. (Couliouwl on Pa 2) Beckstead. The other Midvale car and Officer Alma Wright responded to a radio call for assistance, and a county car with Deputies Robertson and Susea-t- a also responded.

Mayor Henry Beckstead advised the council Monday that the Highway department has offered the salvage pipe to Midvale city. The city would have to purchase the pipe, but has the opportunity to determine its condition after removal, and the city is not obligated to buy the salvage material unless it feels that the pipe is of sufficient value to pay for it in another location. Similar relocations of pipe lines will also be made at Wasatch St. before actual start of contsruction on the underpass.
