Basic to every efficient shelter are an air-intake-exhaust system, a first-aid kit, flashlights and a battery radio (the shelter may need an antenna; otherwise, the radio might be useless underground). Chemical toilets are available at reasonable prices; the minimum provision for disposing of human waste is a stock of plastic bags. Among other useful items: sanitary napkins (which can double as bandages), toothache pills, tranquilizers. deodorants and air purifiers, tight-lidded garbage cans, matches, a can opener, bunk beds with paper sheets, books and games for children...
...Polaris is equipped with nozzles that have no obstructions and no moving parts. For directional control, a small amount of freon gas is shot into the side of the hot exhaust stream, deflecting it just as if the nozzle had been turned. The system is light, and since it is not exposed to high heat or pressure, it is potentially trouble-free. Many missilemen are confident that solid-propellant rockets, already an important U.S. specialty, will be even more valuable when brief blasts of freon are used to twitch their fiery tails...
This enormous speed, many times as fast as a chemical rocket's exhaust, is the secret of the plasma engine's promise. All space engines must shoot something astern to gain their thrust, and as the exhaust speed rises, the engine becomes more efficient. Republic's plasma engine can run for a year on 1 Ib. of nitrogen...
Pontiac. Following the 1962 trend toward pizazz. Pontiac has turned out a Grand Prix hardtop coupe replete with stick shift, bucket seats and dual exhaust pipes. To differentiate it from the standard Pontiacs. which have new prow-shaped grilles, the Grand Prix grille is split by a vertical wedge. Like most 1962 cars, Pontiacs have such improved maintenance features as 35.000-mile chassis-lubrication intervals, 4.000-mile oil changes and two-year radiator coolant...
When Japan's Honda Motor Co. first entered its machines in the big European motorcycle races two years ago, one Western racing buff snorted: "We knew the Japanese made good rickshas, but we didn't know they made motorcycles." Honda's bikes soon blew exhaust fumes in the scoffer's face. Seven of this year's ten international Grand Prix motorcycle races have been run so far, and Honda's machines have lapped the best in Europe. Under the complicated scoring system of motorcycling's Olympics, Honda has piled up 106 points...
