...winds its huge weights into place. As he worked away inside the tower, hurrying Londoners in the crowded Strand below glanced up as usual for a reassuring look at the great white dial that guided their daily scurrying. Auto horns blared their impatience at a moment's delay, exhaust pipes splattered with selfimportance, old friends called out greetings, and tardy law clerks beat sharp tattoos on the pavements with hurrying heels. In the cacophony that makes a great city, no one-would hear a cry for help coming from behind the clock face in the tower 100 ft. above...
...first time Chevvy has a V-8 engine of 162 h.p. With special carburetor and exhaust (available as optional equipment), it can be stepped up to 180 h.p. Chevvy's six-cylinder engine has been boosted from 115 to 136 h.p. Prices will be about the same as this year...
Bell's new craft uses the same lift principle as Britain's new "Flying Bedstead," of which the Ministry of Supply released the first picture last week (see cut). The Bedstead has two engines, mounted end-to-end, with right-angle exhaust pipes to shoot the jet blast downward, thus cause the Bedstead to rise. From a seat on top, the pilot steadies and controls the contraption by shooting compressed air through nozzles mounted on outriggers. When the Bedstead is tilted forward, the jet stream thrusts it ahead. Similarly, pulling the nose up causes the jets to drive...
...Helm. Outboard, Marine's new motors are not the first attempt to cut down on outboard noise. Evinrude, then a separate company, introduced the first underwater exhaust in 1921.

But the move to silence the entire line of Evinrudes and Johnsons was made after Joe Rayniak took Outboard. Marine's helm in a management shake-up a year and a half ago (TIME...
More dangerous than smoking are the many particles (mostly tars) breathed in by industrialized Western man, declared Dr. Wilhelm Hueper of the U.S. National Cancer Institute. Factory soot, arsenical dust, engine-exhaust fumes all contain such dangerous particles. In one N.C.I. survey of ten U.S. cities, tars were filtered out of the air, and even in tiny doses (.05 gram) they were found to cause skin cancer in laboratory mice...
