...nurse in charge at Stillman received a call from the Harvard operator, saying that a man was having a heart attack in the Yard in front of Widener Library. The physician on duty left the infirmary at 1:30 p.m. having assembled appropriate emergency equipment, including a portable oxygen supply. He went in his own car to the site as quickly as it was possible for him to do so, but the Rescue Squad from the Cambridge Fire Department, located approximately 100 yards from the scene of the episode, had already taken the man to the Cambridge City Hospital...
David Kipps, the night dispatcher at the Hospital Ambulance. Oxygen & Equipment Co., put the telephone back on its cradle and called out to Driver Willard Baucom. "Emergency call." he said. "Go to 3307 N Street, N.W., and pick up a Mrs. Kennedy." Then the significance of his message slowly dawned on Kipps. "At first it didn't register at all." he recalled later. "When it did, I got really excited...
Despite the unending technical and mechanical complications, Polaris subs are built to stay at sea up to three years. They are untethered by the standard submarine's fuel and oxygen limitations. They can manufacture their own atmosphere without surfacing. Only the limitations of human endurance will require that they make port every two months. In home port for Washington and Henry will be the Polaris sub tender Proteus, stationed at Holy Loch, an anchorage in Scotland's River Clyde. Each ship will have a second, fully trained crew waiting to take her back to sea. With fresh "Blue...
Some plastics, Snyder admitted, will surely be weakened by the ultraviolet light that abounds in space. But others may actually be strengthened. He explained that ultraviolet does its damage by breaking the plastic's molecular chains and permitting oxygen and other gases to attach themselves to the broken ends, thus making the break permanent. In space this will not happen. The loose ends of chains broken by ultraviolet will usually find no gases to combine with. They are free to recombine with other loose ends, giving the plastic a strong, cross-braced structure...
...critics complain that the industry has overexpanded. In the face of this criticism, most steelmen are now making capital outlays-at the rate of more than $1 billion a year- chiefly to modernize their plants, put in improvements that will produce better or less expensive steel. One example: the oxygen process, by which oxygen and gas are shot into a furnace to speed up the burning of impurities. An invariable but often unintended result is extra capacity: the oxygen process can raise capacity of furnaces 10% to 20%. The new processes also push some older equipment into reserve; about...
