Pseudonyms. The Crazy Sue-Dunham followers, the boys in P's "The Secret
Integration."

The Tom Swift series of racist juvenile "science fiction" that Grover
(the boy genius with flaws) reads were published and written not by
Appleton (the pseudonym) but by a corporation. Not good! 

The Secret Integration some notes: 

There is a Dr. Slothrop and he uses Suggestion therapy: Freud,
Psychotherapy, the use of mental rather than physical means to achieve
behavioral or attitudinal change, employs suggestion, persuasion,
education, reassurance, insight, and hypnosis.


They are based largely on the conditioned-reflex
theory of I.P. Pavlov and on other theories of
learning.

He uses Liquid Nitrogen:

Chemically, nitrogen gas is quite inert, especially
at ordinary temperatures. Owing to its inertness,
nitrogen gas is utilized in the chemical industry as
a diluent or as a blanket to exclude oxygen and
moisture. The low temperature (and inertness) of
nitrogen in the liquid state make it suitable for
freeze-drying food and as a refrigerant when
transporting perishable commodities. Liquid
nitrogen also has proved useful in cryogenic
research.

Used in Rockets and explosives.

Dreyfuss, Henry

 b. March 2, 1904, New York City
 d. Oct. 5, 1972, South Pasadena, Calif., U.S.

U.S. industrial designer noted for the number and
variety of his pioneering designs for modern
products. 

At the age of 17 Dreyfuss was designing sets for
stage presentations at a Broadway motion-picture
theatre. 

The story is loaded with boy geniuses with flaws. 



He opened his first industrial design office in 1929.
At the same time, he was an active and successful
designer of sets for the Broadway theatre. In 1930
he began designing for Bell Telephone
Laboratories, an association that resulted in the
design of a series of telephones. Other notable
designs include the interior of Super G
Constellation aircraft for the Lockheed Aircraft
Corporation and the interior of the ocean liner
"Independence." 

Dreyfuss designs stress the user of the product. He
said that "when the point of contact between the
product and people becomes a point of friction,
then the industrial designer has failed." His book
The Measure of Man (1960, rev. ed. 1967)
contained extensive data on the human body and its
movements. His approach to industrial design is
described in his book Designing for People (1955,
2nd ed. 1967). From 1963 to 1970 he was
associated with the University of California at Los
Angeles. On Oct. 5, 1972, Dreyfuss, along with his
wife, Doris, died of carbon monoxide poisoning in
a car in the garage of their home. 

80N Etienne Cherdlu

Lenoir, (Jean-Joseph-)
Étienne

 b. Jan. 12, 1822, Mussy-la-Ville, Belg.
 d. Aug. 4, 1900, La Varenne-Saint-Hilaire, Fr.

Belgian inventor who devised the first
commercially successful internal-combustion
engine. 

Lenoir's engine was a converted double-acting
steam engine with slide valves to admit the air-fuel
mixture and to discharge exhaust products. A
two-stroke cycle engine, it used a mixture of coal
gas and air. Though only about 4 percent efficient in
fuel consumption, it was a smooth-running and
durable machine (some machines were in perfect
condition after 20 years of continuous operation),
and by 1865 more than 400 were in use in France
and 1,000 in Britain, used for such low-power jobs
as pumping and printing. 

In 1862 Lenoir built the first automobile with an
internal-combustion engine. He had adapted his
engine to run on liquid fuel and with his vehicle
made a 6-mile (10-kilometre) trip that required two
to three hours. His other inventions include an
electric brake for trains (1855), a motorboat using
his engine (1886), and a method of tanning leather
with ozone.

It goes on and on like this...of course Mark Twain another pseudonym is
the parodic material for the story. I think it was published in the SEP.
Right? 

The devil is in the details and the names.
