Preliminary plans call for a 40,000 square foot building near the Harvard College Observatory. In addition to complete office and laboratory space, the project would house a new high-speed IBM 709 digital computer, a faster model than the one now used by Smithsonian to track earth satellites...
Eagle coach Don Martin will send a strong starting five onto the court, lacking only in the height department. But B.C. has managed thus far to make up for this deficiency with great team speed and smart, aggressive play, as the record demonstrates...
...Pipe. Another system is to mount the nozzle at the end of a large, flexible coupling so it can switch from side to side like the combustion chamber of a liquid-fuel rocket. This is extremely difficult because the flexible pipe must carry the giant flow of hot, high-speed, high-pressure gas without leaking or burning out. But Ritchey implied that it can be done in an efficient way that causes little drag loss...
...guidance and control purposes, solid-fuel rockets are normally loaded with fuel to full capacity. Thus when one of them is fired at a target short of the maximum range, something must be done to cut off or slow the thrust when the rocket reaches the necessary speed. The flow of liquid fuels can be controlled by valves or pumps. Comparable control can be achieved with solids, said Ritchey, by opening small apertures upstream from the nozzle. The gas that leaks out through them reduces the pressure in the combustion chamber, and the thrust falls...
...stagecoach on horseback, uttering unmannerly cries in a foreign language. Outraged, he orders the carriage to halt, stomps out to give the Indian chief-whom quite by accident he disarms and captures-a severe dressing down. "My dear fellow, this coach was traveling at a legal rate of speed on a public highway. If you don't desist, I shall protest to the authorities." The chief, grateful for his life, calls off his braves...
