...American 'space bus' consists at present of a single ballistic missile stage with a number of warheads, all of which can be guided to separate targets. Obviously such a delivery system will work on an orbiting satellite armed with nuclear warheads...
...think of a single possibility for education in this country," says Chancellor Gould, "that doesn't exist in the state university." Collectively, its campuses offer thousands of courses, ranging from the most abstruse branches of nuclear physics to secretarial training. The university also offers full-credit courses through a television network that reaches 80% of the state's population. On a given day, the Maritime College's 12,000-ton Empire State IV, a refitted troop transport, churns out toward the open sea; a lab class in horticulture at Cobleskill crossbreeds African violets. Future fashion designers...
...Swiss firm will build at least two, and possibly four, mammoth 4,800-ton turbines, each able to generate an unprecedented 1,100,000 kw. to 1,300,000 kw. of power. The first is to be installed at a nuclear plant in St. Joseph, Mich., by 1973. Altogether, four of the firm's "turbosets" could increase by more than 50% the power now produced by the 30 generating stations in American Electric's seven-state, Virginia-to-Michigan system...
...early designs in circuit breakers, turbines and other heavy gear. And while its labs now work on cryogenics, lasers and other new technologies, B.B.C. continues to improve the old ones. A recent B.B.C. breakthrough in rotor-blade design will permit its American Electric turbines to use low-pressure, nuclear-fired steam and turn at a slow 1,800 r.p.m. while producing as much power as conventional turbines spinning twice as fast...
...with Maschinenfabrik Oerlikon, Switzerland's second biggest electrical company. And only last month, shortly after winning the huge American Electric and TVA orders, he signed up another U.S. ally. Brown, Boveri and North American Rockwell Corp. announced plans to study ways of mating the U.S. company's nuclear know-how with B.B.C.'s turbine technology to enter the mushrooming American market for atomic-power plants...
