...Pitch-Black Room. Even Honeywell's heating controls have become more sophisticated. In Detroit's Cobo Hall, a Honeywell control panel not only regulates air conditioning but also operates the public address system, lights and fire alarms and monitors the 1,800-car garage; whenever the carbon monoxide gets too strong, Honeywell's Data Center automatically turns on exhaust fans.

In 1951, another brace of riots in bordering Cicero again raised head lines to fever pitch, and with the same result: public censure for the papers...
