and more easily cut t o shape while in t h e frozen state. Chilling aluminum castings prior to machining can prevent them from 'moving' d u r i n g and after machining. A t low temperatures, there is less chance for metallurgical changes t o occur. physical shape does not change. and oxidation does not take place. In the electrical field. researchers have found t h a t when some metals are subjected t o near obsolute zero. t h e r e is a strange world of perpetual motion, o r superconductivity. Electric currents, once set in motion. flow forever. This m a y b r i n g about perpetual motors, generators. hearing aids, solenoids and magnets that operate friction free.

The second clipping, from the Son Jose Mercury-News, dated September 21, reported b y R. P.
