Tantalum Required Water |
—And Burros
(The Inter-American*
There is a closer connection
than one might think between the
patient, primitive burro and the
supersensitive r a d i o detection
equipment used so effective dur
ing the war.
The reception tubes used in ra
I dar have filaments containing tan
talum. About half the world’s sup
ply of tantalite, the mineral from
diy an I barren northeastern Bra
zil. It is found in deposits so small
that use of modern mechanical
mining equipment would be im
practical.
There is where the burro comes
in. For the simple methods used
in the small mines 'more than 400
of them are scattered throughout
I the region) water is necessary,
j Since there is virtually no trans
portation system in the area, the
burro lugs water in twenty-gallon
loads.
! Three thousand tons of ore pro
duce a ton of the mineral, which
at peak prices brought around
$6,000.
; Tantalum played an imjx>rtant
part in the Army Signal Corps’
! communications’ equipment, prin
' cipally as a coating for plates and
i grids in some forty types of tubes.
Another wartime use that will
have its peacetime counterpart is
in neurological surgery.
These contributions of tatalum
to the war effort were considered
~o vital at times that the metal
was given top A-l air priority,
high enough to bump a general, if
necessary. But the key to its pro
duction was the burro.
Pvt. Smith—You snored all
night.
Pvt. Jones—I wish you’d awak
ened me.
Pvt. Smith—Why?
Pvt. Jones—’Cause I can’t sleep
when I snore!
