In the Sinclair Refining Company's exhibit at "A Century of Progress," you can see five pre historic monsters. Largest is a Brontosaurus, TO ft. long and 22 ft. high, with a steel skeleton and welded joints, posing on a mountain. Little motors operate his evelids. head, neck, mouth, breathing apparatus, and tail. A motorized Tvrannosaurus rocks back and forth, blinking and running out his tongue. A 30-foot Triceratops lunges forward: a Slegosaurus waves his fins; and a Duck-billed Dinosaur sits in a lake and churns water with his tail. Interviewed recently, and speaking for the group, Brontosaurus shrewdly winked an eye and recom mended G-E motors, on the basis of his 80 million years of experience.

PM-13 can handle as many as a hundred oscillograms of chance transients and surges, and they can tread right on one another's heels or follow months apart. •When power surges sign their names, it's no for gery.

Incidentally, Claude H a t h a w a y, a U. of Colorado graduate in 1927, is largely responsible for this new development.
