PASADENA, Calif., July 10.—Radi- cal changes in electrical engineering practice are expected to follow the recent tests of the vacuum electric switch, the first outstanding product of the new high-tension laboratory of the California Institute of Technol- ogy. The néw discovery is by R. W. Sorensen, professor of electrical en- gineering in the institute. Turning off a one-horse-power mo- tor by the simple pulling of a' switch releases a harmles blue spark, but when a hundred thousand horsepower of current 1s fln\\‘lnf. any attempt to interrupt the flow in the open air is about equivalent to the setting off of @ dynamite bomb. normous oil-immer- sion switches, sometimes occupying acres of ground, have been developed i 3 in the attempt to quench the terrific large variety of styles in regular arc that follows the breaking of the and extra sizes.

A In contrast to the huge oil switches, Prof. Sorenson’s switch operatesin a small glass bulb from which all pos- sible air is exhausted. With the aid of Dr. R. A. Millikan's high-vacuum laboratory, Prof. Sorensen was able to remove all but one billionth of the original air content of the tube, Ad- vantage is thus taken of thes fact that an electric current will not travel through a vacuum. For the tests held at the large La- guna-Bell _ switching _ station the Southern California Edison Company furnished a current of 1,000 atnperes at 43,000 volts, while its inspecting len- gineers stood at a very respectful dis- tance, expecting fireworks. Although the switch opened a gap only one inch across, the whole current of over fifty thousand horsepower stopped in- stantaneousiy without a tremor. The oscillograph record of the current flow, which can easily detect a thou- sandth of a second of after-disturb- ance, indicates a clear break in the record as it somebody had sliced the paper with scissors, With great city intallations requir- ing the interruption of hundreds of thousands of-horsepower of electricity the new vacuum switch promises to be Rayon Dresses e Flowered Voiles and [Nl “Dotted .
