When the world beats a path to his door, the run-of-the-garret inventor is apt to be about as calm as a Rube Goldberg machine going double time. Denmark's Karl Kroyer is a different sort. Last week, shortly after New York's Martin Marietta Corp. snapped up the rights to make a Kroyer-patented, skid-resistant highway surface called Syno-pal in the U.S., the Dane seemed downright bored.

Nineteen more showed their wares around the field. Gemini Astronauts Michael Collins and David Scott were there along with the 250-seat DC-8-61, largest passenger jet now in scheduled operation. Experimental craft ranged from Ling-Temco-Vought's V/STOL XC-142 to Martin Marietta's Lifting Body, in which astronauts may some day glide back from orbit.

...shape of royalties. Beyond that, the SST, as the biggest single venture ever undertaken by U.S. industry, will create at least 100,000 new jobs across the country. The plane is too big for Boeing to build alone; Avco Corp., Fairchild Hiller, Ling-Temco-Vought, Martin Marietta, North American Aviation and Northrop have already been designated as subcontractors, and Lockheed too may end up with a slice of the work...
