Rule Tightening. A clean rig, says the FCC, has a maximum of five watts input, and has an antenna that reaches no higher than 20 ft. above the structure on which it is mounted. Adequate CB equipment, consisting basically of two transceivers (combination transmitter and receiver) and antenna, is marketed by a long list of reputable manufacturers, including Lafayette, Hammarlund, Halli-crafters, RCA and Heath, averages out at a cost of about $300. A typical, medium-priced transceiver operates on eight crystal-controlled channels providing locked-in transmitting frequencies in much the same manner as pushbuttons work on any radio...
...automation, and its near-sighted leadership sees in disarmament only an immediate threat to employment. It is very hard to convince a nation suspicious of economic planning that an undertaking which will eliminate 4,500,000 jobs can create just as many. This optimistic synopsis of Professor Leontieff's input-output research was set forth in the United Nations report on the economic and social consequences of disarmament...
...There is more to measuring productivity than the one element of output per man-hour. What about the capital invested in more efficient equipment? What about the research which produced better production processes and the know-how which made available higher quality materials? What about the input of management, which directed and contributed to all of this effort...
...reply to the U.N. report, the United States also made use of Leontief's "input-output" analysis of the effects of American disarmament made last spring. At that time, Leontief suggested that disarmament could be undertaken with proper planning in the shift of certain industrial resources to civilian uses. The government yesterday expressed confidence that a recession like the one following the Korean War could be avoided if adequate monetary and fiscal measures were taken...
Buckminster Fuller is technology incarnate. Or at least he sounds that way. He thinks of the entire world in terms of mechanical efficiency: his speech is punctuated by "output-input ratios." Man he describes as a "regenerative consumer." And of a daughter he has written, "It was visible to me that the 1922 death of our child in her fourth year resulted from then unheeded environment process integrations of comprehensively unattended yet design preventable factors...
