Black smoke belched from the embassy chimneys as files went into fireplaces, and on the embassy lawn a Russian stood guard with a hose over a bonfire, not hesitating to turn a full stream of water into the face of any snooper peering through the hedge. In Moscow the Russians held up the departure of the Australian embassy staff, after first ordering them out of the country within three days...

When not in use, the apparatus is completely out of the gas stream and so has no effect on the engine's operation. It weighs about 200 lbs. per engine, 800 lbs. for a four-jet airplane...
...center of the rings.

This diverts the gases into an expanding cone and makes them hit the rings, which are shaped to catch them and reverse their direction. Aerojet says that its device, which has already been flight tested, gives up to 50% of reversed thrust...

The Church ought to stand quietly aloof from the present conflict and not let off all its guns before it is necessary...
