Available: Now, At long last the torian has a basic diesel motive reference source, the "Diesel Spotter's Guide," researched and written by ry Pinkepank, long -time diesel expert, and published by Kalmbach Publishing Company. With 304 pages, an excellent index, and 312 action and builder's broadside photos, the fan or historian attempting to trace the development of diesel motive power in general, or on a specific railroad will now find this task made easier by the "Diesel Spotter's Guide." As the railroads have now entered the "2nd generation" of diesel motive power, a reference such as this makes it possible to determine the differences among the many makes and models of this type of motive power.

In the '30's, '40's and diesels replaced steam locomotives; now the first generation of more specialized diesels are in turn being replaced by youth- Ail, general- purpose locomo- MONDAY TUESDAY Nlin specials GOOD FROM 6 P. M. 9 P. M. ONLY POOR BOY SHIFT DRESSES Reg.

"Diesel Spotter's Guide," in text and detail photographs, enables the fan to determine such things as: builder, model number, engine type with number of cylinders and horsepower, dates of production, number of units produced, and differences among the units.

Also taken into account are changes from one basic model to another, as well as developmental changes within a model run. As "bonuses," the "Guide" goes back to 1918 when diesels were in a relative state of infancy, yet is up to date enough to cover all current modifications made on stock locomotives to better suit them to operating conditions peculiar to a railroad's specific needs. The production of builders which made as few as one locomotive is covered, as well as the production of builders which turned out diesels by the tens of thousands. Fifteen different types of trucks which have been used under many thousands of diesels are examined in text and photo, making identification less difficult, as It is relatively common for one make of diesel to ride on trucks from a totally different make. This wealth of information for the railroad researcher can be found in no other single source.

At $3.50. the "Diesel Spotter's Guide," is a welcome addition to the literature of the field. Armed Forces FT. SILL, OKLA. (AHTNC) Private Joe N.

M.U. Spends $19 Million For Research COLUMBIA Expenditures for research and development activities at the University of Missouri for the fiscal year 1965-66 reached $19,472,269, more than half from federal grants and contracts. Almost a third of the total was expended by agricultural sciences, and three-fourths of the total went for basic research. Engaged in the activities were 1,180 professional scientists. These are some of the figures reported by Dr.

Raymond E. Peck, vice president for research and graduate studies, to Industrial Research magazine. The publication conducts an annual survey among 200 leading universities on research and development programs. Results of the latest survey will appear in the April issue of the magazine. The importance of federal support In research was reflected in the report which covers the University's four campuses.

Federal grants and contracts accounted for 55.1 per cent of the funds expended. The University's general operating fund provided 37.1 per cent. Other sources of grants and contracts were private foundations, 3.15 per cent; the state, 2.4 per cent; and industry, 1.8 per cent. Research gifts from alumni, and others amounted to .5 cent. Dr.

Peck reported this divisional breakdown of the expenditures: Agricultural sciences, medical sciences, engineering, physical sciences, biological sciences, social science and humanities, $1,725.504 she has heard are self-cleaning! See your electric appliance dealer today I Board of Public Works The University conducted 1,290 separately funded research and development projects In the last fiscal year 845 in the academic departments, 400 In the experiment stations, and 45 In other areas. Academic departments were credited with 65.6 per cent of the expenditures, agricultural experiment stations with 28.3 per cent, engineering experiment stations with 3.3 per cent, and space sciences with 2.8 per cent. Dr. Peck reported that of the 1,180 professional researchers, 989 were In the academic departments, 100 were with affiliated research institutes and foundations, 66 were with experiment stations, and 25 were in other areas. Graduate students engaged in research and development numbered 675, of whom 325 received federal or other aid.

While 75 per cent of the expenditures was for basic research, 15 per cent was for development (design, development and testing of prototypes or processes), and 10 per cent was for applied research. In answering other survey questions, Dr. Peck said the most critical problems affecting the conduct of research and development activities at the University are the lack of space for research and the shortage of competent technical help. said he expected expenditures during the current year to increase by 20 per cent, or $3,900,000.
