...placed inside an evacuated quartz shell, also coated with niobium, and suspended in an electrostatic field. Suspending it in this manner will allow it to spin in a near-perfect vacuum without touching anything; it will be free from all friction. The gyroscope container will be kept in a bath of liquid helium at a temperature of-452°F. to make the niobium coating superconducting. In this supercooled state it will shield the gyroscope from the effects of any external magnetic field. Once in orbit, the free-spinning gyroscope will also be weightless and almost completely free of gravitational...

A masquerade in a Turkish bath, long visits with FBI Sexpot Sylva Koscina and a tour of the city cannot save Istanbul. Delivering insouciant asides to the audience brings out the unseasoned ham in Horst...
