Candlepower Beats Nuclear Fission -- The boundless energy of the atom is useless in face of the electricians' strike, and scientists resort to the old-fashioned candle to install an atomic energy machine at the Engineering and Marine Exhibition at Olympia, London, to-night (Tuesday). The machine, which appears on the Shell-Mex and B.P. Limited stand, will demonstrate the use of radio-active isotopes for the investigation of engine wear. (Latest official estimates said that 5,000 electricians would be on strike by Monday). September 01, 1953. (Photo by Reuterphoto).
