Why not? Airplanes and railroad care and 11 sorts of things are being made ihat way out of stainless steel - VPM masts for chips. ' Sewing U done -vith an electric tbrrad, but no needle pierces the .metal. Instead, two pencil-like Icctrodea cianip the steel iheet! " between them. Suddenly a young . lightning: bolt is shot across them < clean through the metal. It all happens in a very small part of * nt >:id. j) that flash of tim some of t tfcc metal iii the path of the c^.r- rci ,t comes to fusion heat. It so happens that the greatest heat is . (t rated just where tbt sheets re faced together, and a little pct of one sheet becomes fused ' fc another little spot of the other. . Both sheets are then joined to- ferner by s stainless steel con- section. In stainless iteel it i s teong connection much stronger fhar. -^ould b a rivet of th same fbe. But the connection cannot be en. It is bet-ween the inside sur- faces of the sheets. "How do we know they are joined, anil how trongly7" This if answered by a sln-.ple little device called the re- eorder. This instrument actually ensures the mn-.ount of current sed even if for so brief a flash and also the time during whl-h the current i applied. Both read- ings tell the exact amount of let-trie heat used, and the amount f the heat in turn tells how much nii'tul has been brought to fusion "< the size of the weld. The value of each weld is also riconied on a piece of taps by th recorder. If any one weld fail* to come up to specification*, a bell rings and shuts off the welding machine. That bell is sometimes known in the shop as the "rasp- berry.'' You can well imagine that the welder tio^s not like to have the "raspberry' 1 loudly md- ir hi failure. How Can 111 By Anne Aihiey Q.

Rornmei's Retreat Longest In History Marshal Rommel's retreat from Egypt, which has covered some 1,600 miles and is lengthening rapidly, already has exceeded in distance all other famous retreats of history. Two famous retreats which in- vite comparison with the Axi flight halfway across Africa are N'apoleon's withdrawal from Mos- cow in 1812 and the retreat of the 10,000 Greeks under Xenophon in 401 B. f. Napoleon, left Moscow Oct. 18 and the pitiful remnants of his army, some 20,000 out of the urijrii.al tJOO.OOO, reached Vilna, 700 miles away, on Dec. 6. Xenophon led his Greuk.-i from the battlefield of Cunaxa, on the Euphrates Hiver, to Trehizond, on the Black Sea, "covering some 1,- 500 miles in five months, a dis- tance and period comparable to Rommel's flight, which le now in its sixth month. But the Greeks were not pursued by the same ad- versary throughout, their fighting being against local tribes an<l ban- dits along the route. OVERSEAS -* *1.
