...effort received an unintentional boost from the Concorde consortium, which has set up a cozy delivery plan under which only Air France, BO AC and Pan Am will receive the first 18 planes. Since production of the 18 will probably run well into 1969. the U.S. may be able to deliver its SST to the rest of the world's airlines almost as soon as the consortium can, thus capture a good part of the market and hopefully help to repay a big part of the Government's costs...
...avoid flameout: a hurricane-proof cigarette lighter that needs no flint or fuel. Powered by a nickel-cadmium battery that never needs replacement, the Gulton lighter uses a glowing filament like a dashboard lighter. It can be recharged (about three packs' worth) by plugging it into any AC wall outlet. Price...
...from its independent rear suspension to its fastback body shell. On a casual test lap, a Sting Ray zipped around the twisting, 5.2-mile Sebring course in 3 min. 12 sec. -beating the official track record set by Ferrari last year. Then came Ford with the hybrid AC Cobras, developed by ex-racer Carroll Shelby, with a light British body hiding a huge 350-h.p. Ford engine. The Cobras claimed to be even faster...
...AC. When a patient's heart is laid bare for an operation inside it, the surgeon wants the heart to lie relatively still. While a heart-lung machine takes over the patient's circulation and chills his blood, the University of Minnesota's Dr. Morris J. Levy and famed Surgeon C. Walton Lillehei reported to the American College of Surgeons, they shock the heart into fibrillation with low-voltage current. They have left a heart fibrillating for as long as 2¼ hours, and for an average of an hour in 45 cases. At operation...
...Harvard researchers used their gadget first on a patient who had just had twelve AC shocks at 25 volts with no result. The DC machine worked promptly, and it has now been used successfully on more than 30 patients. In two cases, it did its job when the electrodes were merely applied to the skin-suggesting widespread value for countless patients whose episodes of fibrillation have nothing to do with surgery...
