LIMPSES into the private life at Cambridge of Sir Isaac Newton, who discovered the law of gravita- tion, appear in a notebook in his handwriting which has been bought by the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.

The book, which has 34 pages, gives details of Sir Isaac's expenses as an undergraduate between May, 1665, -and April, 1669.

One entry reads: "At ye Laverne severall other times, &c., £1.0.0." The figure appears to have been altered from a lesser total.

More convincingly, more dramatically than all the words a thousand presses could print, that figure tells the story, of the superiority of Westinghouse refrigerators. Think of it! Sixteen thousand, six hundred and ninety seven refrigerators. Stand them in a row, side by side, and the line of gleaming white Westinghouse refrigerators would extend for. six and one-half miles-from the Cathay Tower on the Bund, through the Cathedral Towers at Zikawei to the foot of the Lunghwa Pagoda- the largest single order in all refrigeration history, awarded to Westing: house by the United States Government on a purely compotitive basis.

The Government specifications were clear, clean-cut, strict, They recognized only three factors. Low initial cost. Low operating cost over a ten-year period. And high built-in quality throughout the refrigerator. Eight refrigerator manufacturers bid, but Westinghouse outbidding the competitors by lower operating-cost figured on a 10-year basis won the order. This again proves the far-flung Westinghouse claim "it's Operating Economy That Counts."
