...anything-but-traditional buildings planned for the new Air Force Academy campus at Colorado Springs. Sensitive to the fact that glass, steel and aluminum were the key materials in Air Force blueprints, Democratic Congressman John Fogarty (onetime president of Rhode Island's Bricklayers Union No.1) roared: "Glass and metal are alien to American monumental design-even to European." Picking up his lead, spokesmen for pressure groups, including the Allied Masonry Council, representing brick, limestone and marble companies and for the Bricklayers, Masons and Plasterers' International Union of America, charged that the modern academy design was unAmerican, un-Christian...
Tyler and Towle first tried shooting the engine's stream of hot gas through a sheet-metal plate perforated with small holes close together. This did not work very well. The wakes of the little jets of gas acted upon each other and caused violent turbulence that made too much noise of its own. Next they added to the tail pipe a metal cylinder with holes all around and closed at the rear end with a metal cone. It worked well in reducing noise level, but since the gas jets pointed every which way, the engine lost nearly...
ALUMINUM-NICKEL shortages will be eased by diverting metal from the Government's strategic stockpile to private users. For 1955's third quarter, the Office of Defense Mobilization, which released some metal earlier this year, will release another 200 million Ibs. of aluminum and 3,000,000 Ibs. of nickel...
When the workers asked for metal spoons in the stalovaya (factory lunchroom) "like workers in other countries have," the Reuthers machined a batch out of old fender metal. Delighted, the Russians took the spoons home. Soon all were gone. "This under Socialism, comrades!" sputtered a party official. "Sheer capitalistic acquisitiveness!" On leaving Gorky, the brothers traveled 18,000 miles across the U.S.S.R., came home via Japan. At 28, Walter Reuther had completed his education and was ready to get to work in an auspicious environment, Depression-haunted Detroit...
...into titanium production without first laying out a centralized, carefully detailed program. As many as eight Government agencies from the Defense Department to the National Research Council all had a hand in titanium, sometimes worked at cross purposes. By funneling $55 million into new plants for Du Pont, Titanium Metals Corp. and Cramet, Inc., the Government managed to jump production from 1,000 tons of titanium sponge (i.e., titanium pig) in 1952 to an estimated 10,000 tons this year. But manufacturers complain that titanium is pesky to fabricate, needs special machines, and the quality of the metal fluctuates...
