...release. Karloff refuses. With Lorre grinning fiendishly in the wings, the two wizards cross wands in a demonological duel to the death. Sneering hideously, Karloff points his forefinger at Price: from the end of it, as from the barrel of a metaphysical peashooter, blue pellets of supernatural energy blip! blip! blip! Frowning sternly, Price points his forefinger at Karloff: from the end of it, green pellets of supernatural energy blip! blip! blip...
...impending checkpoint by giving out a cheery burble that turns into an insistent squeak once the radar zone has been entered. At high speeds Radar Sentry is almost useless; there just isn't time to slow down before police radar has tracked the car's telltale blip. But at speeds in the lower 60s, the gadget is a fairly faithful watch-bird within 300 ft. of the radar installation. Radar Sentries are being turned out at a clip of 200 to 500 a day by Radatron, Inc. in North Tonawanda, N.Y.. and the company claims to have...

...projects: three-dimensional radar, which, unlike present radar that shows only distance and bearing, will also show altitude. The FAA is testing an experimental 3-D radar apparatus, designed by New York's W. L. Maxson Corp., which picks up a target with a supersensitive antenna, shows one blip in the center of the screen for direction and bearing, a second blip on the edge of the screen that is calibrated with concentric rings, each representing 10,000 ft. Thus, the controller knows at a glance whether two planes are at the same altitude and in danger of collision...
