Thomas Edison in 1883 developed the world's most heat-resistant material-pyrolytic graphite-but it languished until researchers began to coat nose cones with it to resist high re-entry heat.

Now General Dynamics is using the fuel cell to produce...

All of these tasks-and many more- are the business of a little-known Connecticut company named Perkin-Elmer Corp., one of the fastest growing members of the fast-growing scientific instrument industry. Variety has paid well for Perkin-Elmer: last week it reported its tenth straight year of record sales ($66.7 million, up 17%) and its eighth straight year of record profit...
