...main pumping chamber. He tried putting a patient on the heart-lung machine two years ago while he removed a "pulmonary embolism," a usually fatal blood clot in the pulmonary artery. Now. with three successes logged, Cooley believes the procedure should be made generally available, with disposable oxygen kits ready in all major hospitals...
Down to Size. While steelmen in the past mixed about 50% scrap and 50% molten iron in their furnaces, they have devised ways to use only 45% scrap today. They have spent billions to build new "basic oxygen" steel furnaces that use barely 25% scrap and to open new iron mines from Labrador to Liberia. The scrap-men have also been hurt by five years of sluggishness in steel demand. Scrap prices have dropped from an average $53.50 a ton in 1956 to $28 today, and exports have plunged from almost 10 million tons in 1961 to barely...
...Berlin In ternational Boat Show. Made of a glass-silk polyester, the U24 weighs only 485 Ibs., and its four six-volt batteries drive it at about five knots on the surface, slightly faster under water. The U24 can dive as deep as 98 ft., is equipped with an oxygen supply and an air-washing system that allows submersion for eight hours at a time. Dealer Erich Mylius of Hamburg reports more than 500 orders from the boat show alone, most of them from the U.S., and hopes to be turning out 1,500 a month by September. Price...
...Risks. Many steelmakers argue that foreign competition actually obliges them to raise prices to finance their ambitious $1 billion-plus modernization program to build automated plants and highly productive basic oxygen plants, and thus catch up with more efficient foreign producers. The industry's profits dropped last year to a ten-year low of $583 million. Saddled with much outdated plant, Wheeling fared worse than most, earning only 3.09% on sales v. the industry average...
Austria's famed LD process, for example, has enabled U.S. steelmakers to make steel more quickly and at a lower cost by lacing their furnaces with liquid oxygen. Last week U.S. Steel, the biggest U.S. steelmaker, announced that it is borrowing yet another technique from Europe-one that may revolutionize the U.S. steel industry...
