...their air-conditioned laboratories (environment in the center is controlled to the last decimal), P.H.S. researchers, working under exhaust hoods, are trying to cultivate the virus of infectious hepatitis (TIME, Feb. 8), which is often waterborne. A mycologist has isolated 150 different kinds of fungi, some of which may cause disease, from river water. And glass tanks are filled with minnows to test how much cyanide wastes can go into river water without killing nature's scavengers...
...After exhausting the store of cheese offered by the various delicatessens in the Square, the group is looking for new sources. "We're going to start buying from Jordan-Marsh import department, then when we exhaust their supply we'll switch to Macy's in New York," Jameson explained...
While gas turbines offer important advantages over piston engines (e.g., cheaper fuel, less vibration and fewer moving parts), they also gobble fuel greedily and generate terrific heat, notably from the exhaust. To solve both problems, Chrysler engineers devised a heat exchange that transfers heat from the exhaust gases to the incoming air. The system not only cools the exhaust but saves fuel, since the intake air is preheated before it reaches the combustion chamber. As a result, says Chrysler, the new engine delivers as many horsepower-miles per gallon of gasoline as a standard automobile engine, and the exhaust gases...
...field roared into the last hour, only 28 cars were left. A Cunningham-owned Ferrari was out with a bad oil line; Cunningham's Cunningham drove up for a pit stop, and when water was poured into the radiator, it came out the exhaust pipe: the engine had blown a gasket. Cunningham looked at the steaming water from the exhaust and walked away, laughing. ("What else can you do but laugh when that happens...
...Cadillac has used its 1953 Le Mans experimental car as the model for the 1954 line. The Cadillac has a new sweep, with a wrap-around windshield, larger tail fins, and jutting, jetlike exhaust pipes. There is a new suspension system, a more powerful engine (up to 230 h.p. from 210), cowl-type air vents instead of standard air intakes (which often sucked in the exhaust from cars ahead). As on most G.M. cars, prices are little changed, except for Cadillac's Eldorado convertible, cut $2,000, to $5,700 f.o.b. Detroit...
