Polyethylene oxide, the material that eased Highburton's passage, is known to chemists as a long-chain polymer because it consists of lengthy strings of linked molecules. In the water near a ship, the molecular chains act much like an array of thin parallel tubes, allowing water to flow smoothly back along the hull but retarding its movement in any other direction. As a result, the friction-building turbulence that is normally generated by a ship slicing through the water is sharply reduced...
...lubricating effect of long-chain polymers is also being studied in the U.S. In Dallas and Cleveland, the chemicals have been injected into sewer lines to speed the flow of wastes and thus increase the capacity of the disposal system. Dallas has reported a 2.5-fold increase in flow through a test line. California's TRW Systems has received a Navy contract to investigate the possibility of using long-chain polymers to make torpedoes run faster...
...than mutual action, such as the informal circle of mathematicians or movie-makers. The groups have undefined boundaries. The CRIMSON is close to the Loeb and far from the football team. It was closer to SDS last year than it is now. The concept of outside is dynamic. Its flow is the chart of a Harvard education...
Countless Copies. This week in Paris, Cardin will hold his first 1969 show of the women's fashions that will later flow out, in the form of countless copies, to the U.S., Brazil, Japan, Australia, Germany and other countries. Skirts for day wear will be ankle-length and flaring. Like Cardin-designed men's wear first marketed in more than 100 U.S. stores last fall, the women's line will be sold in department and specialty stores next fall. Last month Cardin signed a deal with Gunther Oppenheim of Modelia to market Cardin women's clothes...
