...year one-third of Russia's consumer-goods factories were to switch to the Liberman system. Then, three weeks ago, Moscow disclosed an "area" trial of Libermanism in Lvov where, significantly, not only the town's consumer industries but also its heavy industries, including a coal mine, were to go on a supply-and-demand basis...
Fireball & Sparklers. Kiwi was always excessively touchy. In a cylindrical core not much bigger than a garbage can, it could generate 1,000,000 kw. of heat, as much as a large coal-burning power plant. When in normal operation, it was kept in uneasy check by elaborate control systems and cooled by liquid hydrogen with a temperature close to absolute zero. Last week it was given no cooling at all, and the controls that kept its reaction in check were arranged so they could be removed in a fraction of a second. Test Director Keith Boyer hoped that Kiwi...

The Pennsylvania, whose net rose 115% to $50 million, now has "unitized trains" that carry only one commodity between two fixed points (coal from mine to utility) and make 156 round trips a year, v. 18 under the old boxcar system. The New York Central's profits soared 150% to $35 million, largely because of gains from its Flexi-Vans and triple-tiered auto-hauling carriages, which enabled the line to carry 900,000 autos last...
