| | Tower Sounds Air Raid |
 | | Together with Jack Maguire, chief communications engineer for the University, and C.J. Eckhardt, professor of mechanical engineering, I was perched atop the tower, clinging in the wind to the small superstructure holding the huge 1,000-watt loudspeaker. |
 | | As the eerie shreik of the siren that you heard split the air, we all three forgot about the wind, the hundreds of feet of space that fell away beneath the parapet, and grabbed our ears. |
 | | The night air carries sound well, and yet the Tower rears into the night with a disturbing silence as cars and bright life are visible below with no sound heard. |
