University and Metropolitan Transit authority officials will meet with the Cambridge City Council next Monday to discuss a proposed bus shelter location Harvard Square...
...bill lifts the national minimum to $1.15 in 1961, and another 5? an hour in 1962 and 1963. Among the newcomers: workers in retail or service businesses with annual gross revenue of more than $1,000,000; employees of gas stations grossing $250,000 a year or more; transit workers, certain laundry workers and switchboard operators. Most controversial point in the bill: a clause extending wage floors in certain cases where employees only "affect" (rather than "engage in") interstate commerce. Senate conservatives say this is unconstitutional, would open the door to federal intervention in intrastate commerce...
...Quarter Mile. The Transit satellite, the second of its series to go into or bit, is a long step toward perfecting the Navy's all-weather navigation system, scheduled for fully effective operation in 1962, which will benefit all nations on earth. The Transit navigation system is built on the fact that radio waves received from a satellite change their frequency as the satellite passes a ship or ground station. From that change, the instant when the satellite is closest can easily be determined. And since the satellite's orbit can be calculated far in advance, the almost...
This is more accurate than any other navigation system, and the Navy believes that Transit is capable of doing even better. Tucked into last week's Transit satellite was a Canadian "guest" instrument for studying background cosmic noise, and the satellite was allowed to spin for its convenience. When the spin is stopped by releasing small weights, the accuracy of navigation by means of Transit is expected to improve...
...satellite hitchhiker was a space Cinderella. Originally intended to be taken aloft by the U.S.'s ill-fated Vanguard, it was left forlornly on earth when the Vanguard program was discontinued. Rescued by Transit, it is now on a beautiful orbit that will probably keep it up for 50 years. Its instruments are sending information about solar ultraviolet and X rays, which do not pass through the earth's atmosphere but have effects on its upper layers. Data from the Cinderella satellite may explain radio blackouts and some kinds of weather...
