...laugh and joke a lot; and they don't mind waiting fifteen minutes for a hamburger. If you're in a hurry, try the counter. For amusement there are two highly comical drink machines, one containing grape, the other red punch. Always in motion, they slop and squirt the liquid up, down, all around. On especially good days, they become phallic; the punch machine plays the male to the grape machine's female...
...enable their experimental instrument to accelerate a continuous stream of electrons, Schwettman, Physicist William Fairbank and their associates lined the inner walls of their 5-ft. prototype with lead and surrounded the tube with an aluminum cylinder containing liquid helium cooled to -457° F.-about two degrees above absolute zero. At this temperature, the lead lining becomes a superconductor, losing practically afl of its heat-causing electrical resistance and allowing the continuous flow of high-energy electrons without overheating...
Following the Leaders. If the 1000 MB looks familiar, it is no coincidence. Before production started in 1964, Chief Designer Frantisek Sajdl made extensive studies of Western compacts. His four-door 1000 MB has a 48-h.p., four-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that sits astern of the rear axle. The car's top speed is 78 m.p.h. against 74 m.p.h. for the Volkswagen bug; it gets 38 miles to the gallon against Renault's 39. While far from fancy, the plastic interior trim is durable. Its two front bucket seats fold back for sleeping...
With a double heat shield on an ICBM warhead, for example, the outer shield can be made to take the brunt of X-ray damage, leaving the inner shield to protect the warhead as it descends through the atmosphere. A neutron-blocking layer of paraffin or liquid hydrogen can prevent the uranium trigger from fissioning prematurely. Installation of more rugged electrical components and addition of bypass circuits reduce the possibility of damage from the surge of current caused by an electromagnetic pulse...
...capacious crude-oil pipeline leading from its rigs in the Sarir to Marsa Hariga. Running 320 miles, the 34-in., multimillion-dollar line could ultimately carry almost 1,000,000 bbl. at a clip. It is buried six feet beneath the dunes in order to keep the oil liquid during the chill desert nights. The pipeline runs past a British airbase- and deliberately close to the Egyptian border. If necessary, British soldiers will thus be better able to guard against sabotage...
