The location of the power units was plainly visible and easily recognized, for at each point there came together four or five great beams, welded into one great mass of tough metal, and in it there were set heavy tungsten bolts that would hold the units in place. They inspected each joint minutely for signs of flaws, using a small portable X-ray fluoroscope to see the interior of the metal.
"He got the bond and lease from Blount," she began, talking rapidly, "and when Blount found that the white quartz was tungsten ore, he did all he could to block Wiley. When Wiley first came through the town and stopped at our house he knew that that white quartz was tungsten; but he couldn't do anything, then.
"For twenty thousand dollars," answered Wiley, "and he was glad to get it but, of course, when I opened up that big body of tungsten, the stock was worth into millions. That is, if he could keep me from making both payments. He fought me from the start, but I put up the twenty thousand; and the clerk of the court is holding it yet, unless the case is decided.
Dry electrical batteries are put in the tin tube, and by means of a push button the circuit is closed, illuminating the lamp, which gives a brilliant glow. Tom had a special kind of lamp, with tungsten filaments, which gave a very powerful light, and with batteries designed to last a long time.
Only one man was absent and he sat on the hill-top, looking down like a lonely coyote. It was Stiff Neck George, that specter at the feast, the harbinger of evil to come; but as Wiley ordered the empty trucks to back up against the dump he glanced at the hill-top and smiled. "We'll take back a load of tungsten," he announced to the drivers and the crowd of onlookers stared.
THE NEW YORK TIMES gave the following report of a 1937 demonstration of the electron microscope before a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science: "The crystalline structure of tungsten, hitherto known only indirectly by means of X-rays, stood outlined boldly on a fluorescent screen, showing nine atoms in their correct positions in the space lattice, a cube, with one atom in each corner and one in the center.
Is the mine really open and the town full of people and " "You wouldn't know it!" cried Virginia, triumphantly. "All that heavy, white quartz was tungsten!" "What? That waste on the dump? But how much is it worth? Old Charley says it's better than gold!" "It is!" she answered. "Why, some of that rock ran five thousand dollars to the ton!"
"So I'll just report that fact to the O.C., and at the same time I'll tell him of the blowing up of this tungsten light." Two minutes later Lieutenant Adams stood in the presence of Lieutenant-Commander Henderson, the officer in charge. "So you questioned all of the midshipmen who might, by any chance, have entered by a window?" asked the O.C. "Yes, sir." "And they all denied it?" "Yes, sir."
Soon after Dave and Dan were called up, Farley, listening with his door ajar half an inch, slipped out and hit the tungsten burner a smart rap just in the nick of time to save Dan Dalzell's Navy uniform to that young man. Bump! The ball, hit squarely by the toe of Wolgast's football shoe, soared upward from the twenty-five-yard line.
To this instrument Tom attached his sending plate, and he also substituted for the ordinary incandescent light, a powerful tungsten one, that would give illumination enough to cause the likeness to be transmitted over the wire.
