Hot-headed Harold Ickes will get even hotter if the figures show the noncompliance everyone expects. Probable upshot: gasoline ration cards (or a reasonable facsimile) by fall...
...clockworked to follow the sun, focuses the solar rays on a vacuum-insulated tube filled with a heat-absorbing liquid such as black petroleum. As the petroleum heats, it rises to a reservoir, from which cool petroleum then descends into the heating element by gravity. As the reservoir gets hotter, it can be used for cooking, generating steam and even refrigerating (by the absorption method). In a large ma chine, heat gathered during sunny days will last usefully through several cloudy days...
