...Minaret Exhaust. A prime example of what pleases is the $15 million Nuclear Research Center in West Pakistan, the first phase of which has just been completed in the sleepy village of Nilor, 17 miles north of the present capital, Rawalpindi, and close to Islamabad, the projected new capital for all Pakistan. Says an official of the Pakistan Institute of Science and Technology: "We asked him to create a design that would reflect our Islamic architecture with in the structural limitations posed by the reactor...
What Stone produced might well make an old Mogul emperor rub his eyes in astonishment. Against the background of the blue Murree hills, Stone set the swimming-pool reactor beneath a mosquelike dome embellished with gold mosaic designs, juxtaposed it with a minaret-like exhaust tower. Enclosing the reactor complex is a great quadrangle housing laboratories and offices. In its final phase, the great quadrangle surrounding the reactor will measure 800 ft. by 600 ft., become the nucleus for what Stone likes to think of as "the M.I.T. of Pakistan...
There is a tendency of the mind to exhaust itself over questions that life either boldly brushes aside or answers with the authority of natural instincts. As G. K. Chesterton put it: "The note of our age is a note of interrogation. And the final point is so plain; no skeptical philosopher can ask any questions that may not equally be asked by a tired child on a hot afternoon. 'Am I a boy?-Why am I a boy-Why aren't I a chair?-What is a chair?' A child will sometimes ask these sort...
...changes not only improved the plane's payload, but also cured defects in its design. Tests showed that exhaust from Boeing's wing-mounted engines would buffet and overheat the tail. Designers moved the engines to the underside of an enlarged tail. That, in turn, enabled them to increase the area of the pivoting wing so that the plane could take off and land more slowly and silently. With that, said Boeing SST Engineering Director H. W. Withington last week, "Lockheed no longer has us beaten, as it thought it did last year." Replied Lockheed President Daniel...
...reap his whirlwind, Chang started a smoke generator installed beneath a screened cylindrical cage 9 ft. high and 6 ft. in diameter. After the smoke was drawn toward the top of the cage by a powerful exhaust fan, the cage itself began to revolve. As the screen approached six revolutions per minute, it imparted a rotary motion to the air being drawn through it by the fan. The rising smoke gradually turned into a column that rotated at 1,200 r.p.m., whistling around in the cage at speeds up to 40 m.p.h. Pieces of confetti on the floor...
