Abstract
Long life on the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea Scrolls Expedition faced severe corrosion hazards in addition to their literary‐archaeological problems when the metal surfaces and electrical circuits of their outboard motors were exposed to local conditions of extreme salinity and heavy condensation. The solution (to corrosion) was found in a silicone grease material Ambersil MS4, which was applied by aerosol to the metal surfaces and electrical circuits and succeeded in preserving these for the duration of the expedition.

Abstract
Rust‐preventing Composition. A rust‐preventing composition, Anodite, is stated to be non‐poisonous and ready for use. Its action can be explained in terms of the electrochemical theory of corrosion. The unusual pigment employed reacts with a specially designed vehicle, both in the package and in the dry form after application, to form compounds capable of stifling the formation of rust. These compounds react with the products formed by the attack of corrosive agents as anodes in the ferrous surface and form protective layers, retarding or stifling continued attack. This result is claimed to be achieved without resource to pigments sensitive to moisture or unsuitable for prolonged atmospheric exposure.

Abstract
OF the two types of thrust bearing employing, respectively, slot and orifice feed, investigations at the City University have shown that if steam is admitted as a lubricant, the slot configuration does not suffer from excited vibration in the form of pneumatic or steam hammer. Typical orifice‐fed and slot‐fed air type bearings are shown in Figs. 1 and 2 respectively.
