...feels the same about the Rudnick clan of Piscataway, N.J. Paul's father Norman was a physicist at Gulton Industries, which, Paul says, "developed a lot of things that to this day I do not understand: capacitors, transistor devices that would go into everything from Osterizers to rocket ships." Later he edited one of the first textbooks on AIDS. Selma has worked for Partisan Review, for the Pennsylvania Ballet and now for a Philadelphia concert producer. Paul's older brother Evan, a jack-of-all-trades, lives near Ithaca, N.Y. "He has long hair and a beard and is very...
Quick Zap. A.M.C.'s hopes rest on a piggyback system of two 25-lb. nickel-cadmium batteries and two 75-lb. lithium batteries being developed by Gulton Industries of Metuchen, NJ. The lithium batteries are for sustained speeds, can store 15 times as much energy per pound as lead-acid batteries now used in conventional cars. For quick acceleration-a safety factor lacking in present electric-car designs-the nickel-cadmium batteries would cut in briefly, could zap the car from a standstill to 50 m.p.h. in 20 seconds. And for longer battery life between charges, the Amitron would...
...smokers who want to avoid flameout: a hurricane-proof cigarette lighter that needs no flint or fuel.

It can be recharged (about three packs' worth) by plugging it into any AC wall outlet. Price...
Whistle at Work. Sheffield Corp., subsidiary of Bendix Aviation Corp., has just unveiled a tool for machining brittle material that combines eight ultrasonic machines into one unit. Gulton Industries of Metuchen, N.J. will bring out a new line of cleaners, standardize the manufacture of its drills and welders to meet demands of the expanding market. Acoustica Associates, Mineola, L.I., last week demonstrated a new "ultrasonic dipstick" that continuously gauges the levels of virtually any liquid...
Cleaning Up. Most profitable area of ultrasonics thus far is cleaning, where the field is divided between small companies such as Acoustica and Gulton and diversified big ones such as Bendix, Curtiss-Wright Corp. and Detrex Chemical Industries of Detroit. Detrex, the largest U.S. maker of dry-cleaning equipment, last year sold $1,250,000 worth of ultrasonic cleaners for electric shavers, auto-engine parts, outboard motors, jewelry and the tips of ballpoint pens. One cleaner washes a cash register with 5,000 parts in 7½ minutes. Says Detrex's Chief Engineer T. J. Kearny: "Some...
