My home is on U. S. we operate under the Highway 40, and I should like to see that highway considered, but 50-- 6 is preferred by a majority of Colorado people and I want an interstate highway, Denver to Salt Lake City, too much to rock - t N top of the Kennecott Research Center in Salt Lake City is a device called asolar .furnace. It reaches 93 million miles to the sun for its power. Constructed by Research Center personnel, the furnace i3 comparatively simple in design. It operates on a principle similar to starting a fire with a magnifying glass. The furnace consists of three huge mirrors that reflect the suns ray$ and focus them to a desired point. The result is temperatures higher than 5000 degrees Fahrenheit. Such intense heat will melt fire brick like butter it will melt nlnmirmm oxide, the basic material of rubie3 and i 't sapphires. $ I I i , ' Kennecott scientists use the solar furnace as an experimental research tool to determine the properties of metals. It can be particularly valuable In helping produce ultra pure metals, because it will operate even in a vacuum. Like many research projects, ihe work being done with the solar furnace may not produce immediate results. But it can be important to the future. It canprovido the answer to the quest for metais capable of withstanding extremely high temperatures. And that is vital to Americas strength in this jet age.
