...picture seem to move. Before their surprised eyes the machine showed how it mixes bread dough, pops it into an oven, and shoots out golden-brown loaves. Shareholders at the giant American Telephone & Telegraph annual meeting in Chicago (see State of Business) were treated to another picture in which Echo satellites seemed to move across the sky bouncing radio waves back to earth in a display that explained the company's proposed transatlantic satellite phone service...
