...minor roles, Mr. Kaplan and Misses Meglathery and Levin present well-carved cameos.. And Rima Wolff's dances help pump up this souffle that didn't quite rise, but which gives a good taste of the early Restoration stage...
Switches & Amplifiers. In place of the battery or generator that energizes an electronic circuit, fluidic devices use a continuous stream of fluid, usually air. The supply can come from a pump, from the hot gases of a jet engine, from air forced through nose vents in" missiles or airplanes, or even from a tank of compressed air. In a simple fluidic circuit, the power stream is fed into the base leg of a Ylike arrangement of tubes or channels. As the stream flows through the Y toward outlets at the end of two diverging arms, a fluid-flow phenomenon, called...
Most of these problems are sidestepped by a new method: putting the boat in a bubble bath for the winter. Marina owners have found that a simple ½-h.p. air compressor, humming away throughout the cold months, can be used to pump air through perforated tubing that lies on the bottom of the harbor. The resulting bubbles then rise and carry with them the relatively warmer water on the bottom-the same lower strata of water that keep fish alive through the winter. Thus constantly replenished by water from below, the surface is kept above the freezing point, even when...
...flight plan next called for a boost to a 460-mile-high orbit, but that had to be canceled when telemetry disclosed problems with Agena's propellant pump. Instead, the astronauts made another and equally remarkable rendezvous-with the moon's circular shadow, which was racing across the Pacific at 1,060 m.p.h. during Saturday's eclipse of the sun. In the brief seven seconds that they flew through the corridor of total eclipse, the astronauts shot movies and still pictures of the blacked-out solar disk. Then, standing in the open hatch of his orbiting platform...
...that can only be traced to a probable conviction that he was acting in another movie. Although he appears frequently, at one time arriving with a complete New England house boxed and numbered, his effect on the central action is non-existent. Trumbo and Taradash obviously intended Hoxworth to pump some life into the sorry mess, but he remains curiously unaffecting and eerily unaffected. When the tide flows out after 20-some-odd years (how did they ever manage to squeeze it all into three-and-a-half hours?) all we know about this elusive virile fellow is that...
