Directly before the machines looms a 500-ft. hill that stood in the way of the inland-bound gold seekers of the 1840s, forced the Southern Pacific railroad and later a highway to slink humbly around its base.

The system is designed as well for closed-circuit use in industrial plants and for tie-in with pay-as-you-see television. Price: about...
