More Energy. Houdry's process is quite simple. The catalytic units are arranged in layers in the chimneys, and each unit has 73 porcelain rods coated with a thin film (only .003 inch) of alumina and platinum alloy. This coating is the catalyst, which combines with oxygen in the atmosphere to burn up noxious wastes, and in so doing generates still greater heat...
...wrest the honors from Moscow University in Russia, is a challenge to the common sense of taxpayers to seriously question mounting school costs in America. We here find proof that our school curricula and sillp practices, fostered and promoted under the guise of higher education, is a curious alloy of opposites--a little blending of common sense with a wild hysterical foolishness, promoted or sanctioned by the kaisers of "advanced" education...
...plenty of power from nearby Hoover and Davis Dams, Batcheller believes that Titanium Metals can bring down the price and boost U.S. production to 4,100 tons by September 1952, more than eight times the present world output. The immediate goal is to get enough for jet-engine alloys. But Titanium Corp. has its eyes on a far bigger potential market for the metal. Titanium, because it is 56% lighter than alloy steel, and heavier but 300% stronger than aluminum, has been dubbed the "middleweight champ." As the price comes down and production techniques improve, they believe the new wonder...
There is also a serious shortage in alloy metals used in jet and other high-temperature engines. All the world's resources of such scarce alloys as tungsten and nickel will not fill U.S. needs when production hits its peak. Defense officials are pushing a search for substitutes. So far, little luck...
...back into operation. Before Korea, there were 440 of these plants, worth $7.5 billion, in mothballs or on standby status. By May, more than half of them (344) were either back in production or about to be. Included are 15 out of 17 aluminum plants, all of the ferro-alloy plants, all but eight of 54 gun and ammunition plants, and 60 out of 77 shipyards...
