...directive reflects more than anything else the fact that the pioneering jetliners have reached middle age. The first 707s went into service back in 1958, and some of the earliest have since logged more than 250,000 flight hours. The hairline cracks are caused by metal fatigue that commonly develops in high-time aircraft at points where flex and strain occur; even in the DC-6, one of the sturdiest planes ever built, fissures were discovered in a number of wing spars in 1960. To date, said the FAA, no aviation accident of any kind has been attributed to such...
Benson, who never saw the faces of his attackers, then began to shout for help. One of the assailants, whom Benson thought by his voice to be in his late teens, said, "This is a gun, this is a gun, shut up!" Benson thought he saw something metal waved beside his face and quieted down...
Mercurial Change. To build so perfect a gyroscope, Stanford Physicists William Fairbank and Francis Everitt will use a sphere of quartz coated with niobium, a metal that becomes a superconductor and shows no resistance to electric current when cooled to extremely low temperatures. The sphere will be placed inside an evacuated quartz shell, also coated with niobium, and suspended in an electrostatic field. Suspending it in this manner will allow it to spin in a near-perfect vacuum without touching anything; it will be free from all friction. The gyroscope container will be kept in a bath of liquid helium...
...during the white nights," he has recalled, Gabo returned again and again to "questions of space and time and to a search for means of expressing them." He soon found it. In 1915 he constructed a head from intersecting planes of colored cardboard, later translated it into plywood, sheet metal and plastic...
...election was "two houses for every family." Swedish families already own 375,000 vacation homes and 300,000 pleasure boats, as well as a car for every four persons. Domestic tranquility is rarely ruffled by labor trouble: the last strike of consequence took place in 1945, when 130,000 metal workers walked out for five months, and there has been no general strike since...
