...otherwise by an oil-driven Diesel. Exulted Chairman Harriman last week: "The train is fully streamlined to a greater extent than has been attempted to date either in this or any foreign country." Although it should be able to make no m.p.h., Union Pacific will not permit it to exceed 90 m.p.h.. which is 10 to 20 m.p.h. faster than other U. S. expresses operate. The new train may make the long run between Omaha and Los Angeles in 30 hr. The steam journey now takes 48 hr. Speed, Union Pacific men hope, will provide effective competition against...

Another day a great white snow plume whirled menacingly about Everest's cone. The flyers were waiting for a wind velocity not to exceed 40 m.p.h. They fell impatiently to tinkering with their ships and equipment, already at taut perfection. They had been at Purnea nine days, but precious time was slipping away. Soon the southwest monsoon would set in, drenching and beclouding earth and sky for months...
...planning his quiet Condor, President Damon knew that 70% of airplane noise comes from the propellers after tip speed passes 850 ft. per second. He began by gearing down the Condor's three-bladed propellers so that at cruising speed, tip speed does not exceed 670 ft. per second. Next he insulated with rubber the nine attaching bolts of each Cyclone motor. He then proceeded to the problem of the fuselage...
