...comic mileage out of built-in absurdities. Since the detective is clearly the butt of a massive finagle, nothing he meets is what it seems to be. An apparently moronic cop nabs Wren with an abrupt display of erudition: "Did you cause that man to shuffle off his mortal coil?" In the twinkling of a transition, innocent young schoolgirls become a team of orgiastic courtesans. Even when Wren finally tracks down the villain who has been tormenting him, his deduction #151;based on impeccable evidence-is wrong...
Other active systems use water or various antifreeze solutions as a heat-conducting medium (see diagram). In Hyde's house, water heated by the sun to around 200° F. is stored in a 2,500-gal. tank. Hot water then circulates through a heat coil over which air is blown by a fan and ducted to every room in the house. At Harry Evans' new home in East Hampton, N.Y., heat from solar panels in the roof is collected in a bin containing 1,000 sealed, plastic bottles of water, which can hold the heat...
...obtain the two views that are necessary to create a three-dimensional picture, Chatfield added an extra magnetic coil to the electron microscope. The coil deflects the microscope's electron beam as it scans a target so that the microscope actually looks at the same object from two different angles. The separate images are fed into an ordinary color-TV set, which displays one view in red and the other in green; the set's blue circuitry, ordinarily needed to give the viewer a full spectrum of colors, is disconnected. When a viewer looks at the screen while...
...same principle as a lathe. The medium (in this case clay) rotates so that all applied distortions become symmetrical and unified; abstraction becomes constricted. The other methods of pottery include slab construction, in which the potter joins planes of clay to make rectangular or free-form shapes, and coil construction, in which he carefully rolls cords of clay, and coils them on top of each other to build the shape. With one exception, both alternatives are absent from the show...
