...drill. Ralph Stone & Co. of Los Angeles is spending $100,000 to develop vacuum containers to carry rock samples back to earth. Under an $88,000 contract, Martin is also making lunar tools, including a lightweight geological hammer, a hand lens and a scale to weigh rocks in the light gravity. Westinghouse is spending $4,800,000 to make tiny TV cameras to transmit live pictures of exploration back to earth. To shelter the moon explorers, Lockheed is planning surface living quarters in sausage-shaped tanks, and General Electric is working on an extensive underground base that would be blasted...
Slightly Unfashionable. Proust's anguished genius gets the same policeman-like inquisition, but by a wholly sympathetic cop.

From the lightweight plastics that were first developed for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for use in missiles, North American Car Corp. now makes railway tank cars that weigh only one-half as much as steel cars. New metals developed by space researchers and subcontractors, notably the titanium alloys, are coming into use in oil refineries, where corrosive chemicals destroy ordinary steel valves. Space research has taught General Electric better means of coloring aluminum, hardening its surface and fusing...
