The system even tells itself whether or not the grass needs water. This came about when Noyes decided to enroll at the Mas sachusetts Institute of Technolo gy two summers ago. One major problem was what to do with the plush lawn he had spent years cultivating. The pro fessor hired a high school lad to carry the water hoses and to mow the lawn. Before the next summer ar rived, Noyes felt he could save money by installing his own sys tem. That’s what he did, but one problem still remained: how to turn the underground sprink ler system on from Massachu- ssetts ? Noyes decided the thing had to be completely automatic. Now, at exactly 10:30 each night, a collection of mechanical gadgets makes the decision whether to water or not, while Noyes is sleeping. Here briefly is how the system was designed. Noyes purchased valves and old clock and fastened the gears to a long cyclinder-shaped, hol low pipe. An extra gear in the mechanism resulted in one com plete revolution of the drum for each 24 hours. A piece of brass screen, buried about two inches down, serves as the moisture sensor. Eight valves feed water to different areas of his lot. At 10:30, the mechanical brain comes on, Noyes explained. “It first determines if the soil is wet or dry,” the professor added. “If the soil is wet, an electrical current flows and switches off a circuit to the sprinklers.” “If the soil is dry, current reaches the solenoid valves in a times sequence to begin the water ing. Each watering circuit is individually timed to ration water needs, depending upon the area of the lot.” This operation is repeated every 24 hours while the Noyes family snoozes on. The A&M mechanical engineer said the unit has reduced his water bill over 50 per cent. The entire system, minus his own labor, only cost $300. One problem still plagues Noyes, however — mowing the lawn. He’s studying about how BATTALION CLASSIFIED WANT AD RATES One day 4d per word tional da> irfre— DEADLINE ie 3<* per word each additional Minimum charge—50^ 4 p.m. day before publication Classified Display 90tf per column inch each insertion OFFICIAL NOTICE Official notices must be brought or mailed so as to arrive in the Office of Student Publications (Ground Floor YMCA, VI 6-6415, hours 8-12, 1-5, daily Monday through Friday) at or before the deadline of 1 p. m. of the day preceding publication—Director of Student Publica tions.
