Other sticky problems will challenge the engineers and designers. Sand will probably have to be screened out by costly stainless-steel filters at the bottom of each well. The corrosive quality and high temperature and pressure of the brine will demand specially designed piping, valves and moving machinery. The exhaust water will have to be pumped back into the earth to avoid turning the area into a swamp. The economics will look more encouraging, however, if Congress adopts a provision now in a pending tax bill that will allow a tax credit...
...take at least $1,300 an acre to plant the good vines-though the return can be bountiful: around 3,000 bottles. The further cost of fertilizing, weeding, spraying, pruning, picking, vinification and bottling makes wine a costly enterprise. Then add the investment in sophisticated equipment: a single stainless-steel 1,000-gal. vat can soak the vintner for some...
Stately Manor. The Mellon collection, which opens to the public this week, is housed in the last building designed by Architect Louis Kahn. It is a triumph. At the heart of the stainless-steel and glass structure lie two inner courtyards, paneled in striking blond oak and covered by plexidome skylights. The galleries are built around the courts, with internal windows that open onto them. Sunlight streams in everywhere. The details are starkly modern: exposed heating ducts, a huge, free-standing circular stairway. Yet the effect, thanks to Kahn's classical symmetry, is of a stately, updated manor house...
...make a caviar substitute out of milk, and the Ministry of Fisheries has opened a pilot production line in Moscow to try it out. Located in a corner of a large fish processing plant on the banks of the Moscow Canal, the line is a 60-ft. stretch of stainless-steel tanks, plunging pistons and gurgling agitators, ending in a conveyor belt that delivers small jars labeled CAVIAR-PROTEIN-FRESH. Although the facility turns out only 440 lbs. a day, bigger plants are on the drawing boards...
Because LAGEOS is expected to remain in orbit for so long, NASA has placed aboard it two stainless-steel sheets, each etched with a message conceived by Astrophysicist Carl Sagan of Cornell University. Designed to inform extraterrestrial visitors or future inhabitants of the earth about the LAGEOS mission, the message shows three maps of the earth, depicting the continental drift that the satellite will help observe. The uppermost of the maps shows the continents as they are thought to have existed 225 million years ago, when Africa and South America were joined. The middle map is a picture...
