A Scale of Eight Impulse Counter

A modified Wynn‐Williams scale of eight counting circuit is described which employs type 885 argon filled tubes. These tubes have the advantages of a very small deionization time, characteristics independent of temperature, and low cost.

Education for the engineering mission

Engineering involves such a wide range of human endeavor that it demands diversity and innovation in the preparation of its practitioners. Engineering effort can be divided into three major categories: engineering technology, engineering practice, and engineering science. The qualifications of individuals whose activities would fall into each of these mutually interdependent categories are examined, as are the problems involved in training these individuals.
