...finally began to give out, Castro imported a flashy new fleet from Czechoslovakia and Hungary. They could not take the heat. Early this year Castro bought 400 British buses from Leyland Motors, which do better in the heat but suffer from Cuban drivers and Russia's low-octane fuel...
Similar systems can be adapted to almost any fuel-electricity, natural gas, or nuclear energy. In teeming Hong Kong, a desalinization plant is powered by burning garbage. It is the more immediate problem of cost that causes the most concern. By improving technology and experimenting with large-scale operation, engineers have already lowered the average cost of desalinization from about $5 per 1,000 gallons of water in 1952 to about $1. But the goal is still far off-less than 35?, which would make desalinized water competitive in price with natural water...
Affable Aronson, a Naval Academy graduate ('45) who still talks of market testing in terms of "shakedown cruises," has gotten considerable mileage out of his fuel. Ronson's butane lighters led to butane candles, basement workshop torches, and the butane chafing dish. Just as Gillette sells razors cheaply and counts on blade refills for profit, Ronson prices its butane appliances modestly, profits from refill sales of the fuel...
...safety rules, which will go into effect even though the bubble chamber will not be in use, are still being drafted. Paterson and a special Safety Committee of CEA staff members. They will include restrictions on the amount of fuel that can be used in the hall and on the places where fuel sources can be located, Paterson said...
...major moving parts and weighs much less than conventional engines. Other engineering trends showed off: a swing toward a combination of disk and drum brakes even in some of the lower-priced cars, reduction in the number of lubrication points, wider use of double carburetors to provide better fuel mixtures...
