New Mechanical Brcrinbuster Proves Popular At Museum Of Sciente If mathematics prove too much for your brain power, you can now solve some of the mysteries by simple use of your muscles and the aid of an entirely hew section just added to the enticing "World of Numbers", exhibit at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. The new mechanical brainbuster, built especially for the display by the International Business Machines corporation, is a network of weights, cables and pulleys towering from floor to ceiling. It enables the visitor to demonstrate to himself how by different ways of lining up the pulleys and cables, the amount of muscular effort required to lift weights can be sharply reduced. The new exhibit is three-sided, making'it possible for three visitors to work out its different mechanical formulas at the same time. On one side, the visitor has to exert 100 pounds of pull to stir the 100 pound weight; with the second pulley combination, the . "v 100 pounds may be lifted with only 50 pounds of pull; and the third on enables him to lift the same 100 pounds with only 25 pounds of effort. * The exhibit was developed to prove, under entertaining "audience participation" conditions, that mathematics is the basic for even the simplest mechanical. dt>» vice, that a knowledge " tics is essential to an umltr*' anding of physics, and tltat every mechanical device known to man operates in accordance with, immutable mathematical laws.. 4^ One rat in farm grain storage sheds annually about one million hairs, voids 10,000 droppings 01*1 one gallon of urine, and may huS bor as many as 10,000 lice.
