A Triumph of Science that Stirred Europe DR. CHARLES EDWARD GUILLAUME Dr. Guillaume is known through- out the scientific world for his research work and important dis- coveries. One of his most notable successes was the development of ELINVAR, an achievement that attracted instant attention. Dr. Guillaume is Head of the French Bureau of Weights and Measures, Commander of the French Legion of Honor, member of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Sweden and honorary member of the Swiss Society of Natural Science. Now It Has a Vital Meaning For You Mr. Railroadmanl It was just a few short years ago that European men of science were startled by the discovery of a unique new metal. It was an alloy steel that combined outstanding qualities. It was rustless. It could not be permanently magnetized. Its change in elasticity, due to tempera- ture, was opposite from that of ordinary metals. Dr. Charles Edward Guillaume, head of the French Bureau of Weights and Measures, was the man who discovered this remarkable alloy steel and he called it ELINVAR. For his great achievement, he was honored with the Nobel Award in Physics. It was not long before a practical use for this discovery was found. The technical staff of the Hamilton Watch Company began to ex. periment with ELINVAR. After five years of intensive study and research, ELINVAR has now been incorporated in the Hamiltofi " 992 " Railroad Watch. ELINVAR has been put to work for you, Mr. Railroadman! It is a new development that you will want to know all about. liarnilton Watch @' sure to look for the HAMILTON WATCI- I advertisement in this magazine next month. It will have a vital message for you! I
