Show Machine Company Plans to Use Atomic Energy The Buffalo Machinery Company Com-pany states that it has applied for a patent for a device designed to produce inexpensively an atomic atom-ic gas eventually expected to power locomotives from coast to coast at a cost of less than one dollar. F. Alden Miller, vice-president of the machine tools and steam turbine firm, said its engineers had developed a rectifier that produces pro-duces a combustible gas from a commercial type of atomic "C" uranium. The device, he stated, had been "producing gas successfully for six months.'" He described the experimental model as about 24 inches high, tubular in shape and built of inch-thick inch-thick high-tensile steel to withstand with-stand a pressure of 6,000 pounds per square inch. |
