Left handed disc jointer cuts plow power needs

A left handed disc jointer developed by E. V. Collins and C. K. Shedd at Iowa State College reduces power requirements of ordinary plows by 14 percent in Ames summer tests. The device matches right handed jointers in performance while saving up to 25 percent power by cutting side draft.

Left-Handed Disc Jointer Improves Furrow Quality

Collins explains a left handed disc jointer that directs soil to the left to offset landside pressure from ordinary plow bottoms. The device produced uniform furrows and reduced backfurrow ridges though some open walls and soil looseness remained. Trials by Iowa State College Experiment Station and the USDA continue.

A recent talk by the general manager of the National Board of Fire Underwriters explains how fire insurance premiums are used. It outlines the distribution of policy dollars among operating costs, reserves, and investor returns, clarifying common questions from policy holders who have not suffered losses.

Anatomy of a Fire Insurance Premium Dollar

The Humeston News summarizes 1938 data on 332 large fire insurers. Just over 43 cents goes to losses, 3 cents to loss adjustment, about 20 cents to management, including 7 cents salaries and 6 cents miscellaneous, 1 cent rent, and 7 cents field supervision. Taxes take 5 cents, agents earn 25 cents, and profits under 6 cents. The piece argues fire prevention and inspections funded via these costs reduce rates, noting a drop from 1.17 to 0.67 dollars since 1907 to 1998.
