...questions will be divided into the yes-no variety, and those requiring more detailed explanation. This questionnaire will be used as future reference for placement selection, helping to eliminate any unnecessary friction between employer and employee...
...Orders. He found them in the small turbines which patient Engineer Ramsaur had been perfecting since 1943. So that jet pilots could endure the heat generated by air friction at supersonic speeds, a way had to be found to cool their cockpits. Ramsaur's turbine provided the answer; by putting an engine's heat to work turning the turbine, it cooled the air by expanding it, shot the air into the cockpit. As rearmament got under way, Garrett began turning out a total of 700 accessory products. With the Navy order for the self-starter, Garrett Corp...
...quantity. The problem of building today's vastly more complicated planes has turned Douglas engineers, of necessity, into inventors who range far beyond aeronautics. For example, they had to turn out new type of refrigeration to cool the cockpit and entire fuselage of the supersonic X3; otherwise, the friction heat at 1,800 m.p.h. would kill the pilot and melt the metal. To whip the problem of windshield fogging at great speeds, they are helping devise a water-repellent coating which prevents fogging for long periods...
...China. Recognition would be a "real political victory" for the West, said Douglas. It would help split Communist China, and Communist Russia and would take advantage of the struggle between the Chinese drive for nationalism and Russia's drive to solidify the Far East-"the greatest source of friction between any two nations in the world today...
...this point, the story of danger, difficulty and friction can be matched by dozens of others in the secret annals of operations behind enemy lines. The account of what happened next is drawn from the confessions of three men, confessions believed by the Italian police and the U.S. Defense Department...
