...crickets. The whole craft was only 27 ft. shorter than a football field. Gleaming white against the backdrop of a gloomy hangar at Burbank, Calif., the behemoth was shown off for the first time this week by Lockheed Aircraft Corp. It is a $1,000,000 full-scale mockup of the Lockheed 2000, the plane that the company hopes will become the nation's first supersonic passenger transport...
Actors from the Audience. To see how the ideas would work out, Saarinen took over an abandoned movie theater in Pontiac, Mich., built a full-scale mockup. To find out what was needed, Mielziner plotted out 150 plays that he had designed (among them Death of a Salesman, The King and I, South Pacific), discovered that the main action in almost every play took place in a triangle whose base rested on the footlights. Mielziner and Saarinen boldly flipped the triangle so that it was pointing out into the audience, thus doubling the prime acting area available. When the extra...
...Star-Lifter. On top of $7 million from the Government, Lockheed since 1957 has put $11 million of its own money into its C-5A project, set up a special division at its Marietta, Ga., plant and hired 2,000 people to work on research, mockups and planning of construction facilities. Into its full-scale mockup, Lockheed put a completely equipped instrument panel, hooked it up with a computer three-quarters of a mile away, and had test pilots "fly" the plane for hundreds of hours. With its bid, the company shipped 20,000 pounds of charts, graphs and blueprints...
Smith established himself within a year, mostly doing ballet backdrops, soon added a staff of up to four in the busy season. But they were only mockup builders and draftsmen to turn the Smith brainstorms into blueprints, for Smith has always been his own idea man. His most lasting innovation was the development of mobile scenery: his choreographed ballroom stopped the show in the midst of My Fair Lady. But Smith has never been criticized for scene stealing. He just takes them when they are there for the taking. In a viable writer's show like The Odd Couple...
...Thunderbird II, to borrow from the Thunderbird's prestige. Ford is not always so tractable, of course, sometimes settles arguments in his favor by simply saying: "Don't forget, my name is on the building." One such case was his insistence, after sitting in a mockup of the Mustang, that the rear-seat leg room be increased an inch. Iacocca and his men complained loudly that another inch in length might destroy the car's proportions, but Ford...
