r RECEIVES VALUABLE APPARATUS The United States Bureau of Mines which Is working In conjunction with the metallurgical department of the University Uni Uni- o of Utah has lias re recently nty installed In n Inthe n the mineralogical and microscopic laboratory laboratory laboratory labora labora- tory two rare and valuable instruments instruments- a high temperature electrical furnace and an optical pyrometer The Tho furnace frace Is Isor of or the the register type and nas a n. safe safa sfa working working working work work- ing temperature of 1800 degrees C F. F It I can cn reach its is maximum temperature temperature tem tern in an hour and a n. half haI The purpose of ot the furnace is to simplify the stud study ld of certain compounds of or zinc an and andiron andron Iron ron oxides such as ar found In roasting roast roast- ing InS ng ores of or zinc which contain iron The pyrometer 1 is of ot the tho most modern and accurate ac- ac curate curte t typo pe of optical pyrometers It I can c be bo used to measure temperatures anywhere any an where from rom to ISO degrees C C. Before Detore this year this typo type of oC pyrometer was a manufactured only In Germany and consequently it I has hae not been attainable since tho ho war started The Tho North Leeds-North- rup company of Philadelphia succeeded In n remodeling the German Genan type and also alson In n Improving the tho te German model model The additions aro are expected to cause cuse a aery avery avery very ery good result a as the sort of o ore which they hey deal with is experimented with wt very much at the university
