Like Chrysler Corp. itself, the new Chrysler cars are in transition. Only a year ago, flamboyant C.C. ("Tex") Colbert was replaced as czar of Chrysler by a duumvirate: Chairman George Love, 62, and aggressive President Lynn Townsend, 43.

The ersatz coke has been proven in FMC's phosphorus furnaces, and is now being tested in steel blast furnaces. If successful there, says Davies, it could mean a revolution in the world steel industry. Similarly, an ingenious FMC device to detect blood spots on eggs during automatic packaging...
