Abstract: A submerged pot roll and other articles for use in galvanizing baths including a metallurgically bonded superalloy cladding layer on a steel core layer. The cladding layer improves the corrosion resistance and dross buildup of the article and improves service life while reducing costs.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for dynamically testing a rotational torque producing device (22) during calibration under conditions simulating actual operating conditions. The torque produced by the torque producing device under controlled (28) load conditions similar to actual operating conditions is converted by a transducer (12) to an electrical signal and monitored (26) to assure that the stall torque of torque producing device (22) is within an acceptable band.

Abstract: This portable sound speaker system has an elongated cylinder supporting a layer of acoustically absorbent material lining the interior surface thereof. The cylinder has an open, raised platform as its support in a vertical position, where the platform has a first base plate carrying a plurality of spacers on which is fastened a second plate having a large central hole open to the interior of the cylinder to allow the bass sound to radiate radially outward therefrom. A first, low frequency loudspeaker is fitted down into the upper end of the cylinder, and it radiates upwardly. A second, high frequency loudspeaker is mounted above the first loudspeaker, and it radiates in a generally horizontal direction. A cylindrical speaker grille is fitted over the second loudspeaker and mounted to the top end of the cylinder.

Abstract: Apparatus as provided for plugging a tube end in such a manner that the plug can be later removed. The apparatus includes a hollow plug (10) closed at the end (12) inserted into the tube (20) and open at its other end. The plug has a band (18) of ductile metal (gold, silver, or pure iron) on its outer surface which is extruded into any crevices caused by irregularities in the inner wall surface of the tube when the plug is mechanically expanded into the tube. The plug has a portion near its outer end of slightly enlarged diameter (14) to provide a light interference fit with the tube to hold the plug in place prior to and during the expanding step.

Abstract: A stepped platform is arranged to traverse the down-facing tubesheet of a nuclear steam generator with a rotating, circular work table attached to the platform to position a plurality of tools, in sequence, at a common area of the tubesheet for required work.
