...most hostile report of all concerned one of the oldest controversies of McNamara's Pentagon tenure: his 1961 cutback on funds for big bombers and his subsequent decision to replace them in the next ten years with the FB-111, a flashy (Mach 2.5) modified fighter...
...catching on so fast that it should oust open-hearth production as the U.S. norm by the end of next year. As a spectacle, the oxygen furnaces of such firms as Bethlehem, National, Republic and Kaiser out-inferno Dante. When a pipelike lance stabs the molten iron with a Mach 2 jet of high-pressure oxygen, the cauldrons burst into a maelstrom of 3,000° metal, boiling noxious smoke and spewing fireworks. The process not only enables steelmen to cook a batch of steel in 40 minutes instead of six to ten hours in an open-hearth furnace...
...longer term, Britain will ally itself with Continental countries, notably France, to build a European aerospace industry that might do battle against the Americans. The chief hope is the Anglo-French Mach 2.2 Concorde, which is likely to be the world's first supersonic airliner. It is slated to go into service in 1971 or 1972, at least two years ahead of the U.S. supersonic liner. Production of an Anglo-French prototype is on schedule, though development costs have risen from $500 million to more than $1 billion. Beyond that, there has been talk about jointly built military craft...
...help build a quarter-scale model of the X-1 to be dropped from a B-29 at 35,000 ft. to determine its ability to withstand the stresses of breaking the sound barrier. Rigged with sensitive instruments, the model measured and relayed the effects of near Mach 1 to engineers huddled in a couple of old trailers−one of the first uses of the telemetry that was to become so important in space-flight control...
...Noland's Mach 2 (and all of Stella's pictures) illustrates Fried's second key "formal issue," the growing dependence of the shape of the composition and the shape of the canvas in the surface unity. The edge of the canvas is one of the limits (not boundaries) of the painted chevrons. The dramatic shape of the canvas is not determined by an arbitrary circumference; it is part and parcel of the shapes of the fields of color. Each chevron marks off a parallelogram of different size but of similar proportions. The whole constantly intermingles with the parts...
