...Steche's next step was to make an artificial bee of wood, mount it on the end of a 5-in. spiral of wire attached to an oscillator. He sticks the model, faintly perfumed with lavender, through a hole in a glass-walled hive and lets the oscillator wiggle it. The bees crowd around and observe. As soon as they get the message, they swarm out and unerringly fly to the lavender-flavored sugar water that has been placed to reward them...
Preliminary plans call for a 40,000 square foot building near the Harvard College Observatory. In addition to complete office and laboratory space, the project would house a new high-speed IBM 709 digital computer, a faster model than the one now used by Smithsonian to track earth satellites...
...major deal; then a purposeful mood of profit taking falls upon him, and he unleashes the right hand. It has brought him twelve knockouts in his 21 pro fights, all of which he won. No windmill mixer, Ingo is so conspicuously unmarked that he often works as a model. A paragon of gentlemanly rectitude outside the ring, he wears natty golf-club blazers, eats with his fork and never forgets his estate. After Patterson's diet of dreary semiamateurs (Pete Rademacher, Roy Harris), Ingo is likely to prove Floyd's first pro foe. Said Ingo: "I am sure...
...same comfort, convenience and even luxuries as present U.S. cars. While all the designing and other work on the new cars has been done in the deepest secrecy, details have been leaked out by tool-and diemakers and other suppliers. With this help, plus sneak shots of a Chevy model on the proving grounds, Motor Life, the auto trade magazine (TIME, Oct. 21, 1957), has put together its own preview of the new cars. The automakers have brushed off the sketches as speculative since the cars are still being designed and may well be changed more before they finally appear...
...cars will be considerably shorter than present models, with wheelbases ranging from 106 to 113 in. The overhang of 1959-model U.S. cars will be reduced, thus cutting the overall length by 2 to 3 ft. The new cars will be rounded and tucked in. They will also be much lighter. Wide use of aluminum, coupled with a redesigning of thousands of individual parts from bolts to caps, will cut the overall weight to around 2,500 Ibs., almost one-third less than the weights of the 1959 Ford, Chevy and Plymouth. This in turn will mean...
