...anonymous benefactor whom he credits with putting up $200,000 to fight the case, he went into the U.S. Court of Claims in 1960 and charged patent infringement. Fighting back, the Government cited older patents that used all of Adams' basic ingredients; an expert tried to build a battery according to the key (1880) patent, however, and the thing exploded. In the end, the court found that Adams was the first to create a workable, nonobvious battery out of the familiar ingredients. The Court of Claims ruled that the Government had clearly infringed Adams' patent...
...advanced military aircraft from the U.S., whose huge production lines permit lower pricing. The 50 swing-wing F-111A fighter-bombers that Britain will buy from General Dynamics at $5,950,000 each are at least $1,000,000 cheaper than anything Britain's much smaller industry could build...
...aircraft programs. Last week the government beat a still more painful retreat. In the biggest postwar Royal Air Force order, Britain announced it would buy 400 military planes over the next four years-but 250 will be Lockheed, McDonnell and General Dynamics aircraft (see THE WORLD). The British will build parts for some of them...
...longer term, Britain will ally itself with Continental countries, notably France, to build a European aerospace industry that might do battle against the Americans. The chief hope is the Anglo-French Mach 2.2 Concorde, which is likely to be the world's first supersonic airliner. It is slated to go into service in 1971 or 1972, at least two years ahead of the U.S. supersonic liner. Production of an Anglo-French prototype is on schedule, though development costs have risen from $500 million to more than $1 billion. Beyond that, there has been talk about jointly built military craft...
Bigger Overseas. Luraghi also argues that the future of European automaking depends on exports. Alfa-Romeo last year exported 23% of its cars but sent only 1,500 to the U.S. To increase those totals, the company has invested $90 million to build a modern factory at Arese, just outside Milan. Luraghi expects to double output in seven years by turning out cars that appeal to the everyday driver whose Fangio instincts are stirred by a six-speed manual gearshift and easy acceleration to 100 m.p.h...
