Like Britain's Cumberland station, North American's plant will also be able to produce atomic fuel, i.e., plutonium. But its main purpose will be the study of practical production of electric power. Liquid metal (probably sodium) circulating through the reactor will absorb the tremendous heat generated by atomic fission. Piped through a water boiler, the superheated metal will produce steam. The steam, in turn, will drive a conventional turbogenerator...
Thompson kept adding to its products now makes 80, boasts that the only one it ever had to drop was the automobile crank. It has helped develop such things as aircraft valves containing liquid sodium inside as a coolant; an engine valve cap that turns slightly with each strike, thus eliminating warping and pitting; an alcohol-water injection system to get more power out of gasoline; simplified valve tappets; improved fuel pumps and piston rings...
...engine. Through a big advance in metallurgy, Thompson now makes such blades out of powdered iron and a copper alloy, eliminating a great deal of waste. It has also succeeded in casting incredibly intricate parts by pouring mercury into a die, freezing it and dipping the mercury pattern in liquid ceramic to form a mold. Then the mercury is let run out at room temperature, and parts are cast from the ceramic mold...
...fire and devotion, there was no single standout. But Marshall's soprano, as the highest solo voice, could be heard floating magnificently above even the massed ensemble. In the more subdued sections of Beethoven's Mass, her tone was pure and wellrounded, her florid passages had a liquid sound and her phrasing a natural warmth that her colleagues, for all their greater experience, never quite matched...
...Renouard, "Dean" of American Embalmers" and founder of one of the country's best embalming schools has put the Rodriguez formula to the test. "I'm an antique in a dead business," says' Renouard, "and I don't care what's in the liquid as long as it works." A well-preserved 82 himself, Renouard used the formula on 20 bodies, even kept ten of them for a week in a well-heated room. "Dr. Rodriguez," said he, "has made a real find...
