| Description: | Unveil New Atom Generator. At the White House, President Dwight D. Eisenhower and atomic energy commissioners present a revolutionary new device which generates electrical current from radio-activity. A mighty midget which supplies 5 watts, for a year or more of service. It does the work formerly required of 3/4 of a ton of the best electric batteries. Ike and a few other Caucasian men gather round, look at this little device, invention, contraption (apparently it works by atomic power), which seems to be making a little fan spin. | |
