...with two baths and a balcony, a roof swimming pool with a beach of washable rubber-composition sand. On the six city blocks of empty land that surround the present building, Geddes and Architect Paul Williams, who is collaborating on the plan, will build 500 bungalows connected by a tunnel system to the hotel room service...
Book trucks start rolling through the tunnel connecting Widener and Lamont December 18. Undergraduates intending to catch up on reading here during the Christmas vacation will be able to reserve the books they need for use in Widener before the transfer starts...
...XF7U-1's design looks radical, but it has long been foreshadowed by the results of wind-tunnel research. Swept-back wings have two advantages. The air passing over them diagonally (parallel to the plane's motion) acts as if it were passing directly across the wing at right angles to its leading edge. This "short cut" slows the air-stream's apparent speed, and reduces the shockwave difficulties associated with Mach 1 (the speed of sound, 770 m.p.h...
Short, broad wings are good "future practice" in aerodynamics. The NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) proved years ago by wind-tunnel tests that the long, graceful wings of bombers are much less efficient above Mach 1 than clumsy-looking "stub" wings. As planes get faster, their wings will probably grow stubbier still until they diminish into something looking like an arrowhead...
Only 75,000 books must be moved from Widener to Lamont. Should bad weather prevail at moving time, the underground tunnel which connects the two libraries will be used. At Princeton, the entire transportation job had to be done above ground, with weather a hazard during the operation...
