Esoteric Future. The hover principle has equally good prospects in industry. British Hovercraft is producing hover pallets, air-cushion platforms that can be used to move heavy industrial loads. In a recent British Hovercraft demonstration, for example, a 41-ton machine tool on a hover pallet was easily pushed several feet by two men. By fixing a skirt around a 14-ton oil-storage tank at a military depot and pumping in air, hovercraft technicians were able to move the tank on a cushion of air across a road and a railroad line to a new location. A hover transporter...

Although the paper, signed jointly by Dean Ford and John P. Elder, dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, leaves the way open for adjustments in the measurements of a fifth-time teaching load, it rules out increases in teaching fellows' pay "for the present or the immediate future...
