To win a foothold in the $200 million market for cleanup equipment, scores of big and little firms are busy devising new kinds of filters, precipitators, sprayers and sensitive measuring apparatus.

General Electric has developed a gas and vapor measurer and a condensation nuclei counter that counts dirt particles...

Last week the state of Indiana sought first bids for a new port at Burns Harbor that will cost about $100 million, will handle ore boats carrying iron ore from the Mesabi and from similar mines in Upper Michigan.

The New York Central System is planning to build...
