THE BATTALION
r>v‘
v4 shakedown test, a rescue,
and a hundred thrills
yt SCORE of carefree Coast Guard
_/jl sailors, and with them a Westing-
house man from the Boston Office,
headed in a “bum boat” for the cutter
Chelan peacefully at anchor in the
harbor of Hamilton, Bermuda Islands.
It had been an exciting shakedown
test-cruise. The Westinghouse turbine
generator, motor and condensers had
functioned perfectly, the sea had yield
ed up its bag of tricks, the Bermudas
had fascinated every soul. And soon
they would be bound for home.
But fate held new experiences in store.
Five hundred miles off the Azores, the
Newport,New York State training ship,
had lost her propeller. The Chelan was
called to the rescue. And with her, of
course, went the Westinghouse man.

Three days at top speed on tropical
waters, the excitement of rescuing a
helpless crew, twelve days at a lazy
towing speed, men overboard and a res
cue at sea—thrills like those come to
many Westinghouse men in line with
their work at electrifying the world.
For Westinghouse, in a commanding
position in electrical development, enters
every field of industry where electricity
is or may be employed. And Westing
house men get a taste of every brand
of human activity.

•
THE THINKER.
And tramples it under heel.
Back of the motor’s humming-,
Force of the engines thrust.
Back of the beating hammer
By which the steel is wrought,
Back of the workshop’s clamor
The seeker may find the thought;
The thought that is ever master
Of iron and steam and steel,
That rises above disaster
The drudge may fret and tinker
Or labor with lusty blows.
But back of him stands the thinker
The clear-eyed man who knows.
For into each plow or saber,
Each piece and part and whole
Must go to the brains of labor.
Which gives the work a soul.
Back of the belts that sing,
Back, of the hammers drumming,
Back of the cranes that swing,
There is the eye which scans them
Watching through stress and strain,
There is the mind which plans them,
Back of the brawn; the brain.
Night of the roaring boiler,
Strength of the sweating toiler;
Greatly in these we trust.
But back of them stands the schem
er.
The Thinker who drives things
through;
Back of the job, the dreamer
Who’s making the dream come true.
