...Motor vehicles account for an esti mated 60% of the pollutants that contaminate the nation's atmosphere. To combat this growing menace, Congress empowered Health, Education and Welfare Secretary John W. Gardner to limit such pollutants. As a result automobile manufacturers have installed exhaust controls on 1968 model cars. To meet this year's HEW standards, the new control devices must reduce the emission of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide, major sources of automotive pollution, by 60% and 50% respectively. But even this improvement will be more than counterbalanced as the number of U.S. cars increases each year. Faced...
...world. By 1958, this had grown to $27.4 billion. With last year's increase, U.S. private investment abroad has octupled in 20 years. And the move abroad is undiminished, if only because the market is there. Explains Rubberman Raymond C. Firestone: "Sometime in 1968, the number of motor vehicles in use in other nations will outnumber those in the U.S. for the first time. We want to put tires on those vehicles...
...original float process-developed by Chief Researcher Alastair Pilkington, Sir Harry's cousin-was so successful that glass companies in eleven nations rushed to obtain licenses for it, including the Soviet Union and such U.S. glassmakers as Libbey-Owens-Ford, Pittsburgh Plate Glass and the Ford Motor Co. Eventually, Pilkington expects to earn about $240 million annually from the float process in license fees, royalties and exports: the new tint process will add another $24 million a year to that. Meanwhile controlling 85% of British glassmaking and exporting its own products to 100 nations around the world, Pilkington foresees...
...Bullet," a soft-spoken Baltimorian who grew up idolizing Villanova's Davie Patrick. He coasted home Tuesday with a 1:58 split, two seconds slower than both Dave McKelvey and Jeff Huvelle, who often run identical times in the event they share, the 600. McKelvey is the wide-eyed Motor City partner of Haggerty, and has experimented with Harvard, Europe, and a moustache among other things. Huvelle sort of minds his own business, but was yanked from this anonymity by his election as team captain last spring. Baker, the first class marshal and otherwise a god-like figure, balances...
...city traffic headaches, last week endorsed a snappy 9-ft. "minicar" that would be about half as long as today's intermediate Chevrolets and Fords, create one-tenth of the pollution. Developed under a $299,995 HUD grant to the University of Pennsylvania with help from General Motors, the three-passenger, 100-mile-range "hybrid" could whiz along highways at 60 m.p.h. on a small gasoline engine, switch to a battery-powered electric motor for tooling around town...
