At the mouth of the tube, the bits of ash pass a "corona discharge" electrode, a needlepointed piece of metal that carries so high an electrical potential that it sprays the surrounding space with a supply of positive ions. Picked up by the passing ash as it is boosted along by the hot gas, those ions move down the tube creating, in effect, an electric current. The electrical resistance that develops is overcome...

The University of Pittsburgh's Chancellor Edward H. Litchfield is also chairman of Smith-Corona and a director of Studebaker and Avco. M.I.T. Nutritionist Samuel A. Goldblith is also a vice president of United Fruit. Around Boston, particularly along famed Route 128, there are some 1,000 space and electronics firms in whose executive echelons businessmen and scientists are often indistinguishable. Professors do consulting work for research...
