...cable repair ship, said the U.S. note, had found in preliminary investigations that one cable had been badly scraped and scuffed for about a mile east of the break. The cable itself had obviously got fouled in the Novorossisk's trawling gear, been raised to the deck, then cut to release the nets. In all, there were twelve cuts in the five cables (nine tension breaks and three man-made cuts), all made in the vicinity of the trawler's operations. The U.S. reserved the right to make claims for damages and demanded that the Soviets take "such...
...problems she does encounter come from her very speed. Noise caused by water passing rapidly over the ship's skin and control surfaces can play hob with delicate sonar gear. The Skipjack's forward planes (used to raise or lower the bow during underwater maneuvers) are a particularly noisy item, so they were moved to the sail to keep them as far as possible from the sonar in the bow. Another trouble is control. The Skipjack's maximum depth has not been announced, but even if it is better than 1,000 ft., the ship...
...thing, a mere one-half of 1% of the U.S. electric supply depends on foreign generating-equipment. Also, U.S. makers export far more heavy electric equipment than the U.S. imports-$840 million exported, v. $61 million imported from 1952 to 1957. Private utilities have bought little foreign gear, but the Tennessee Valley Authority last month selected Britain's C. A. Parsons & Co. Ltd. to build a 500,000 kw. turbogenerator-one of the world's biggest-at Tuscumbia, Ala., and said that Parsons is indeed "qualified, technically competent and adequately equipped." Parsons' evaluated bid of $13 million...
...cars was a jump of 22% from 1958's low level, yet nearly 100,000 units short of both 1956 and 1957. The comparison can be misleading, since suppliers' strikes have braked output, notably at Chrysler, and the industry is only now starting to roll in high gear...
...seas near the cables at the time of the interruptions. Experts' consensus: the trawler's heavily weighted nets had fouled in the cables; when the fishermen raised the nets, they raised the cables too, and the cables were broken or cut away to save the trawling gear.*After a 70-min. tour of the ship, Sheely asked the captain to move his fishing operation farther south, headed back to Hale. Reported Skipper Korte in Washington: "There were no indications of intentions other than fishing...
