...Lincoln Fiberglass Inc. has found that the Coop has a most sporting clientele. Last year the Coop sold more of the company's fiberglass sailboats than any comparable store in the Boston area, explained department manager Roscoe W. Fitts Jr. This year they hope to launch their canoe among the Cambridge outdoorsy...
...main gallery, the viewer's eye is carried roofward by a giant Alexander Calder mobile that sways like a living totem, then diverted by a gently teetering pair of silver spears by George Rickey. Against one wall, Eva Hesse has lined up a row of 30 glistening clear fiberglass half-box forms, whose intentionally sloppy casting endows them with a bubbly effervescence. Charles Ross's Plexiglas prisms are filled with mineral oil, so that museumgoers see other museumgoers distorted through them, edged in rainbow spectra. Even marble seems to soar, at least in Minoru Niizuma's vertical...
Tingling Sensation. Under Way's guidance, and with about $1,600 worth of storage batteries, the electromagnetic coil, aluminum tubing and fiberglass reinforced plastic paid for by the university, the engineering seniors completed the EM51 during the spring semester. They successfully demonstrated it for the first time this June. Subsequent experiments uncovered a few problems, though none seem impossible of solving in the construction of a full-scale sub. Electric current passing through the water between the electrodes produces some electrolysis; molecules of water break down into hydrogen and oxygen, which rises to the surface in the form...
...Here Comes Linton." The President was not to be outdistanced on another front. Largely forsaking his air-conditioned Lincoln Continental for the water, he has taken to spending his time at the helm of his 19-ft., 60-m.p.h. fiberglass speedboat. Particularly toward evening, when the air cools and the water stills, the President takes to 22-mile-long Lake Lyndon B. Johnson, often searching out a secluded cove where he and his party can have privacy from peering eyes. Clamping down his yellow golfer's cap, clenching the wheel like a vise, Johnson really opens up the throttle...
...contrib uted by the Philharmonic ($70,000) and the Jos. Schlitz Brewing Co. ($50,000). The city donated a $110,000 "trailerized concert shell," a 36-ton, 60-ft. by 40-ft. structure mounted on four trailer trucks. Unfolding like a massive Chinese puzzle, the shell's white fiberglass panels and canopy can be set up in seven hours. During the five days following, the shell was trucked to Prospect Park in Brooklyn and Crocheron Park in Queens, where the orchestra drew crowds of 30,000 and 22,000 (in the rain) respectively. In total, the Philharmonic-on-wheels...
