...chamber where it is heated and then mixed with fuel (see diagram). A single spark plug ignites the mixture, and the expanding hot gases drive two turbines. The first turbine turns the original air compressor, and the second turns the power shaft that connects to the rear wheels. The exhaust gases are recycled into a regenerator to heat the incoming...
...automen were quick to point out, blow-by devices are no cureall. Much of the air pollution in the U.S. is produced by industry rather than cars. And even in cars, less than 40% of the smog-producing hydrocarbons comes from the crankcase. The major menace is exhaust fumes, which so far can be controlled only by expensive (upwards of $75) "afterburner" attachments...

Summer is in no sense an important work of art. It lacks the creative energy to exhaust and essentialize its subject. But it does possess, among many venial delights, one cardinal virtue.

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...
