...heart-attack history; nitrous oxide offered the advantage of inducing only light anesthesia, so that the patient wakes up with a minimum of hangover. Dr. Didier had to use an especially thin tube to leave room for what else had to go down the presidential throat: a laryngoscope (see diagram), 2.5 centimeters in diameter. Peering through the laryngoscope with the six-power operating-room microscope, Dr. Gould saw the polyp. It was a bit bigger (4 mm. by 5 mm.) than he had expected, and a bit lower down. Still, it was a simple though delicate procedure to work...
...Snorrason's design for an ideal chair for the average man lies halfway between the pew and the club chair (see diagram). It has a seat that slopes slightly downward toward the rear, and it has a back-supporting protruding pad five or six inches above the seat, in the small of the back. For most people, the front of the chair should be 17 to 18 inches high, and the seat 16 inches square. Because no one chair can be ideal for everyone, Dr. Snorrason suggested that the chair in which a man spends most of his time...
There is nothing particularly complicated about Notre Dame's passing attack; the Irish run a grand total of six pass patterns. It is how they run them that hurts. Hanratty and Seymour killed Purdue with the "shake and go" (see diagram), so it was only natural that Northwestern the next week would do everything it could to keep Jim from getting loose in the deep secondary. So what did Seymour do? He curled out to the sideline on the "X" pattern and swung back on the "fishhook," made do with 15 yds. at a crack instead of one play...
...colorimeter that looks like a twelve-spoke wheel. A powerful light flashes a beam through the tubes, and photo-electric cells measure the intensity of the transmitted light. A computer converts these readings into values for the pen to draw on the chart paper (see diagram...
Space Graphology. For such satellites as the U.S. Geminis or Agenas -or, indeed, for intercontinental missiles - their shapes are a dead giveaway. When, for example, the conical nose of a tumbling projectile-like satellite is pointed directly at a ground radar station (see diagram), the radar "sees" only a small cross section; the reflected pulse is scattered in all directions, and the radar reading is relatively weak. As the projectile begins to swing broadside to the radar, however, its radar cross section increases; reflections become stronger. When the satellite's flat rear surface turns to face the radar antenna...
