From Its Picture Reports: From its picture reports of the weather over half the globe, large-scale storms can be studied and smaller-scale convective systerns over South America are especially well displayed. From a series of ATS pictures, all the meteorologists in South America would be able to track that continent's weather more effectively than by conventional means.
The color photographs from ATS-3 can tell a weatherman the relative heights of different cloud layers, because the lower clouds tend to be bluer than the higher ones. Put together into a strip, the still photographs become a kind of jerky motion picture that can show a weather front crossing a land mass or a hurricane forming in the tropics.The general condition of children in the developing countries may at times seem so grim that efforts to alleviate their plight on any significant scale may appear hopeless. In Children in the Developing Countries, UNICEF reports the findings of its survey done cooperatively with the countries concerned. It also reports on some very hopeful developments; on the specific work that is going on throughout the world; and on the sound achievements that are beinng made.
Amongst objects on show from the Rare Books Library's Bradfield Collection are newly discovered photos of the construction of the bridge, a 7-metre plan of the bridge, contracts and reports on tenders, memorabilia from the opening ceremony, reports on proposed railways for Sydney, and Bradfield's 1924 thesis for his University of Sydney doctorate of science. |
