...July, 306 complaints of sex bias have been lodged with the commission. Typical was the case of a woman employed as an assembler in a California electronics plant. Although she holds a degree in electronics, she wrote, and could make from $1 to $3 an hour more as a technician, her employer refused to pro mote her on the convenient ground that she might have to lift something weighing more than 25 Ibs.- which would violate a California law that prohibits women workers from doing just that...
Born on a drought-stricken Minnesota farm, Mickelson quit high school in 1943, joined the merchant marine-and was sent into radio training. That led to a succession of postwar jobs as radio-station engineer, broadcaster, electronics technician. In 1953 he joined Remington Rand and was put to work designing memory cores for Univac. Computers were in their infancy, and a skilled designer could quickly make a mark in the field...
...President of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, I would like to compliment you on an excellent, informative story on anesthesiology [Nov. 5]. One statement requires clarification: "Nearly gone is the nurse-technician who dates back to the early days of ether and chloroform." This implies that nurse anesthetists today only rarely administer anesthetics. The reverse is true. About 40% of the anesthesias are given by members of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, about 45% by certified registered nurse anesthetists, and the remainder by other physicians, nurses or technicians...
...Ontario Hydro-Electric Commission operations center in suburban Toronto, a technician twisted a control handle to the right to raise the voltage. In the next three seconds, the $265 million 16-turbine Sir Adam Beck Generating Station No. 2 (see map) sent 1,600,000 kw. of power careering out of control through 80,000 sq. mi. of the northeastern U.S. and Canada. Thus, at 5:16 p.m. on Black Tuesday, began history's biggest power failure (TIME cover...
...fault of the technician. The disruption began, Ontario Hydro explained last week, when a backup relay -a breadbox-size fuse-blew on power line Q-29BW after Ontario had been requested by Syracuse to up the voltage. The blowout disconnected the line from service; when Q-29BW's load transferred automatically to four other trunk lines running westward out of Beck, they were knocked out as well. With no place to go, the peak-hour power buildup reversed its flow, cascaded eastward through two 230,000-volt tie lines across Niagara Gorge. In a wave that lasted only five...
