Still, the main function of an industrial robot is not to think but to work, and there are many jobs that a sufficiently muscular and adroit five-year-old could do admirably. At Pratt & Whitney's automated casting factory in Middletown, Conn., ten of Unimation's Unimate 2000s are building ceramic molds for the manufacture of engine turbine blades. The company expects the new molds to help increase production from 50,000 to 90,000 blades a year. No less important, the robot-made molds are so much more uniform that their blades last twice as long...
...imposing, almost muscular pyramid squats in the middle of a vast flat white-stone plaza which stretches for blocks in every direction from it, broken only occasionally by gardens. Each of its four sides is walled in white stone, roofed with the same purple tile. Massive gates of white pillars and purple roofing allow access to the memorial from any side...
...symbol of West Germany's postwar Wirtschaftswunder, or economic miracle, has long been the muscular deutsche mark, which gained strength as the currencies of other industrial states went soft and saggy. But the mark has been taking a beating itself since Oct. 31, and two weeks ago it staggered so badly that the central banks of the U.S., Britain and France had to take rushed measures to prop it up. Before it began to recover last week, the mark slumped to a low of 51.2? against the dollar, a prolonged slide from its high of 58.8? last January...
...might be expected, this unusual troupe's debut was an up-and-down affair. Makarova's restaging of the Petipa choreography for Paquita, Act II evoked a muscular, high-flying performance by Bujones and a precise, rather chilly one from Terabust; the intricate variations fell to baby ballerinas who were rarely up to their tasks. Makarova and Dowell danced Béjart's Sonata No. 5 as if blindingly fused together, down to the last sinuous contortion and arbitrary tic. The world premiere of Vendetta, created for Makarova by Choreographer Lorca Massine, gave her the chance...
Linsley runs with a steady, tireless stride, upright and gazing ahead impassively, a style reminiscent of her sister, Sarah, Crimson captain two years ago. Beckford churns through the miles with a strident, bouncing gait, the strained look on her face contrasting the graceful motion of her muscular limbs...
