Since that historic flight, kept secret until last week, Inertial Guidance-the gyroscopic navigational system that guided the B-29 without visual or electronic aid from earth or stars-has been an obvious choice to control the U.S.'s ultimate earth-to-earth weapon: the pilotless intercontinental ballistic missile (TIME, Jan. 30, 1956). Last week in Cambridge. Mass., a pudgy, square-faced engineer who presides over an aging red brick factory building (still labeled "Home of Whittemore Shoe Polishes," but listed on Massachusetts Institute of Technology records as the Instrumentation Laboratory) outlined the details of Inertial Guidance, just declassified...

Said Dr. Horsley: "The unsuspecting victim is sometimes almost completely blind before he realizes his visual loss.
