...office draw, plug safety razors? Says a friend: "Naturally, because he can use the dough." Fred MacMurray and Wife June Haver lent their faces to American Gas for a $6,000 kitchen, plus air conditioning for their ranch. Claims one bubbly member of Ad Row: "We can give very high-style publicity. Now we are selecting stars, not soliciting them...
...asked Franklin fearfully. "Sure," he replied, and forthwith dispatched the bull. But Clements felt that he had failed the spectators. "The people expected perfection," he says. "They have a full right to expect it, and I expect them to expect it, and I intend to give it. When I don't give it, I expect them to be disappointed...
...took advantage of Project Argus to advance his own studies. He proposed the launching of a new satellite in a more north-and-south orbit than any of its predecessors. Moving in this way, he explained, it would better observe the results of Project Argus. Incidentally, it would also give him coverage of the natural radiation belt in latitudes that earlier satellites had not reached...
...Allen's instrument packages to measure radiation are much more complicated. Their sensing elements are Geiger tubes and scintillation counters that give brief electrical pulses when radiation particles hit them. Some of them are shielded with lead so that they will register only high-energy particles. Others are sensitive only to particles from one direction. The pulses from each instrument are fed to individual audio-frequency (audible sound) oscillators, changing the frequency of the pulses slightly. These modified audio tones are imposed on the high-frequency carrier wave sent out by the satellite's transmitter. Fed into...
...four lower lines on the chart were made by the instruments of Explorer IV while it was passing through the inner Van Allen belt of heavy radiation. Channel I is from a Geiger tube set up to give a pulse when 64 radiation particles have passed through it, is thus intended to record areas of relatively low radiation. Here the radiation is so heavy that the counter is swamped and no meaningful count is recorded. Its small oscillations are mere radio noise...
