INVENTOR TELLS OF REMARKABLE NEW CATHODE RAY TUBE
Dr. D. W. Coolidge, assistant director of a research laboratory, announced a new cathode ray tube that he said had removed hair from an animal and seemingly grown hair of a different color on the same spot, had made cold stone luminous as if heated, and had produced surprising results on gas. Speaking before the Franklin Institute, which gave him a medal, he said he had not tried the tube's rays on humans and had not yet found a practical application for them; an Associated Press representative witnessed a special demonstration.
Philadelphia, Oct. 20. - (/P) - A new cathode ray tube, which has removed hair from an animal and seemingly grew hair of a different color on the same spot, which has made cold stone luminous as if heated, and produced surprising results on gas, was officially announced here tonight by Dr. D. W. Coolidge, its inventor. He is assistant director of the research laboratory of the General Electric Company. His announcement was made before the Franklin Institute, which presented him with the Hdward N. Potts medal.
Partial announcement of Dr. Coolidge's discovery was made yesterday at Chicago by Dr. A. F. Tyler before a meeting of the American College of Physical Therapy.
Dr. Coolidge said he has not tried the tube's rays on humans, nor yet found practical application for them. The tube apparently opens limitless fields for electrical experiment and research.
