...Bill Coonrod, a farmer from Monticello, Ind., joined some newfound friends outside his trailer and showed what 40 years of mandolin practice could do. Don Brown, a Huntingburg, Ind., plumbing contractor who slept in his car during the festival's first weekend, opened his trunk and pulled out a five-string fiddle that he had spent two years building. "I played until 4 o'clock in the morning," he said wearily. "That's what the fun of these things is. After the main show is over, everybody gets together and shindigs...
...laboratory precautions (dubbed "P-l") for experiments in the lowest-risk category-say, injecting harmless bacterial genes into E. coli-to ultrasecure laboratories ("P-4") for work with animal tumor viruses or primate cells. At present, two new P-4 facilities are almost ready. One is a gleaming white trailer parked behind a bar bed-wire fence on the grounds of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md. It has a totally sealed environment, airlocks, decontamination systems, showers for workers after experiments, and sealed cabinets accessible only through attached gloves. Some "worst case" experiments, involving animal tumor viruses, will...
Weiger also enlivened Midas' sleepy travel-trailer business, which the company acquired in 1965.

They also constructed a special trailer to carry the craft, a 90-wheel affair designed to be steered both from the front and the rear like a hook-and-ladder truck...
...Goodyear blimp; five slow-motion "discs" for replays, and a vidifont, a computer-like machine that can instantaneously cough up players' names and statistics. Add to that three miles of video cable, 3½ miles of audio cable, 65 microphones and 100 monitors, then plug everything into 15 giant trailer trucks and a specially built studio for the pre-game show, and the Super Bowl can be beamed to the addicted nation...
