Characteristic of the work of the biological safety office is their monitoring of a special "P-3" lab constructed in 1977-78. The lab, which features specialized airflow and ventilation, access, and safety procedures is designed for work that is considered potentially hazardous and highly experimental. Safety measures also include a "negative air-pressure" gadget which, in the event of any mishap occurring during an experiment, sucks in the air in the labs to prevent it from leaking outside...
...line showing airflow through mouth and both nostrils drops to nothing. The heartbeat reading becomes erratic. Movement of chin and chest are spasmodic as the patient struggles to draw in air. Eye movement changes and nine channels of brain wave recordings take on the appearance of waking brain activity in the thin blue lines...
Meanwhile, the man is less restless than the average patient But suddenly, at 2.03 a.m. he putts off his chin monitor and tugs on his nasal airflow indicators McMahon swings into action...
Some of his sculptures are unmistakably phallic-the food blenders, for example, or toothpaste tubes. Others are based on female forms: the hamburgers, light switches, the soft version of Chrysler's 1935 Airflow.

"It was conceived as a sort of Parthenon and was also suggested by a picture I saw of Paris' Madeleine Church turning into a loaf of bread. The piece...
Reduced Drag. Wind-tunnel data revealed that when the airflow reached sonic and supersonic velocities along the redesigned upper surface, only a modest shock wave was generated near the trailing edge of the wing. There was negligible turbulence. Although the changes did not affect lift, drag was reduced by as much...
