...being plugged into an electric outlet (an explosion hazard in the operating room), it gets its power from the pressure of tap water. This is converted by the reciprocating-engine principle into a pump action, giving pulsatile pressure in four Plexiglas chambers. In each of these is a rubber bladder corresponding to one of the heart's own chambers. The bladders are paired (like the auricles and ventricles) and they contract and expand in a rhythm like the heart's. In an additional chamber, corresponding to the lungs, the blood is oxygenated by the conventional film-on-screen...

Five years later, with Trumbull and other small companies as a base, he founded Republic Steel Corp. as the nation's third biggest producer. That year he also won control of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. Operating from his Cleveland-based Otis & Co., a securities firm, and a maze of holding companies, Eaton's deals were faster than the eye -or most financial experts-could follow.
