This week, at the New York meeting of the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences, Engineer Harold W. Ritchey of Thiokol Chemical Corp. explained some of the tricks that are used to make solid rockets behave. One method, he said, is to put vanes in the gas jet. When their angles are changed, they deflect the stream of gas like a rudder. This system was used on the German wartime V2, but the vanes add a lot of drag, and they must be made of highly heat-resistant material if they are to last even the few minutes needed to do their...
...want to commit himself publicly until he has digested still more evidence, is highly skeptical. He has examined Alphonsus and has seen no slightest change. He has heard that some Soviet astronomers have their doubts about Kozyrev. They suggest that "he thinks that it is his destiny to make a great discovery." When Kozyrev made the spectrograms, he did not mention them to his colleagues at the Crimean Observatory. Instead, he rushed off to Moscow and a week later held a press conference to announce his lunar volcano. This is considered odd scientific manners, even in Russia...
Ordinary window glass is made by drawing a wide ribbon of glass vertically from a reservoir of syrupy melted glass. It cools in the air and has a brilliant "fire finish." But the process of drawing produces stresses that make flaws and irregularities. To make the glass smooth enough for mirrors, auto windshields and store windows, manufacturers are forced to an elaborate process of grinding and polishing glass sheets on both surfaces. The plate glass made in this way is expensive, and its surface lacks fire brilliance...
...trend toward more representative subjects only partially successful. Says he: "There is a more or less lost generation of young painters who turned up their noses at the basic disciplines of draftsmanship and just jumped into abstraction. Although they are now trying to use figures, they can't make the switch because they haven't had those early disciplines...
Though Ernie Pandish was ably played by Art Carney, The Velvet Alley never made clear why a man cannot make $100,000 a year without being a heel, or why, somehow, little old New York is a safer place to be successful than Hollywood. The most intriguing fact about the play was not seen on the TV screen: Author Serling's own partial identification with his hero. Working on the show, said Serling, "I left strips of flesh and blood all over the studio. The externals of the play are definitely autobiographical -the pressures involved, the assault on values...
