Methods for Achieving High Vacuum
The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of methods for achieving high vacuum that are currently used in both scientific and technical practice.
Graphical Calculation of Mine Hoisting Machines
This paper develops and applies a graphical and analytical method for calculating mine hoisting machines and comparing alternative hoisting systems. After surveying cylindrical and conical drums, bobbins, Koepe pulleys, and less common arrangements, it sets common output, depth, load, rope, and spee…
Copper Smelting Plants in the Yenisei Governorate: Report on a Summer Field Trip in 1914
This report describes a 1914 field visit to the Yuliya and Ulen copper-smelting plants in the Yenisei Province, emphasizing operations that the author regarded as little documented in existing literature. It surveys the geological setting and ore character of the Yuliya deposit, gives production and…
Materials on the Testing of Building Stones of Western Siberia: Based on Data from the Mechanical Laboratory of the Tomsk Technological Institute
This paper presents results from more than fifteen years of mechanical testing of Western Siberian building stones at the Mechanical Laboratory of the Tomsk Technological Institute, motivated by the growing need for reliable local stone materials for railways, roads, paving, and other construction. …

Einstein’s General Principle of Relativity
Owing to its brevity, the present article cannot lay claim to even a remotely exhaustive explanation of Einstein’s theory. Its aim is to elucidate Einstein’s principal fundamental propositions and to apply them to the solution of two or three comparatively simple questions, such as, for example, the…
