...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...
...once suggested a sliding price scale with lower prices in slack seasons. But there is already such a sliding scale because of bigger trade-in allowances and discounts during the winter. And the industry is still subject to the ups and downs of boom and recession, which could easily exhaust G.A.W. funds...
Jitney Beginning. Orville Caesar, a mechanic turned executive, still likes to tinker with machinery in his home workshop in Harrington, Ill. He invented the Tropic-Aire hot-water heater to replace the dangerous and smelly exhaust-pipe system for heating buses, saw it become the standard for passenger cars. The son of a Swedish blacksmith, Caesar went to work in an auto-repair shop in his teens, later started a small bus service. In 1925 he joined forces with the late Eric Wickman, who had been building up a bus system in Minnesota since 1914, when he started with...

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...
