...rolled a long way with the expansion of European railroads, and soon began turning out early designs in circuit breakers, turbines and other heavy gear. And while its labs now work on cryogenics, lasers and other new technologies, B.B.C. continues to improve the old ones. A recent B.B.C. breakthrough in rotor-blade design will permit its American Electric turbines to use low-pressure, nuclear-fired steam and turn at a slow 1,800 r.p.m. while producing as much power as conventional turbines spinning twice as fast...
