...will fly more efficiently with an engine whose gases shoot out of the tailpipe more slowly. Rolls-Royce Ltd. of Britain is testing such an engine, which it calls the Conway, after a river in Wales. Rolls will not give details of its construction, except that it uses the "bypass" principle...
...state, from the western terminus of the Pennsylvania Turnpike to the Indiana border. It dwarfs both the original 160-mile Pennsylvania Turnpike, the first super toll-highway, and the new $250 million, 118-mile New Jersey Turnpike (TIME, Aug. 27). With both of these, after a 35-mile Philadelphia bypass links them, the Ohio Turnpike will provide a super-highway route (see map) enabling motorists to drive all the way from Hartford, Conn, to Indiana, at high speeds, with few toll stops and no traffic lights. When additional New England toll roads are completed interlinked highways will reach from Portland...
...ever necessary. Because nearly all of Germany's trunk railroads converge like spokes into the hub of Berlin, the Allies have always wielded a sort of railroad veto over Red Germany. Last week the Russians canceled out the veto by completing the last link of a 100-mile bypass railroad circling Berlin, all in Soviet territory. Their 15-mile link to a long-planned loop took nearly a year, required 5,000 laborers, and was made possible only "by applying Soviet working methods," said the East Germans...
...Russians, the circular bypass would 1) make it easier to blockade Berlin again, and to escape being humiliated as they were in the 1948 blockade, when the West forced them to reroute trains far out into the poky single-track hinterlands; 2) make it possible to build up its armored line on the Elbe without advertising the fact by sending trainloads of troops and tanks through Berlin...
...trucks and cars from New York, run them across the Jersey meadows and farmlands at 60 to 70 m.p.h., and spill them out on the new Delaware bridge in half the time of today's routes. From there, in mid 1952, southbound motorists should be able to bypass Baltimore by cutting through the Eastern Shore of Maryland, crossing the Chesapeake near Annapolis, on a four-mile bridge already begun. This will slice running time between New York and Washington to 4½ hours instead of the present seven...
