...vector equilibriums creates a complex of alternating squares and triangles. Dividing the squares once again, he found he had a symmetrical, twenty-sided globe-shaped skin which could be constructed out of tetrahedrons-the triangle-sided pyramid shape that provides the greatest strength for the least volume (or weight). In a sphere made of such interlocked tetrahedrons, the weight load applied to any point was transmitted widely throughout the structure, producing a phenomenal strength-to-weight ratio. Bucky produced his dome by cutting a hollow sphere in half...
...auto designed specifically for Europe's prestigious racing circuit. Ford's new racer is a sleek fastback with a 200-m.p.h. top speed and a 375-h.p. engine that is placed "midships"-in front of the back axle but behind the driver-to achieve the best weight distribution. Ford plans to field a racing team with its new Grand Touring racers, which will be built in a rented London plant, and hopes to have about 100 cars ready for sale to the public by next year (estimated price: $15,000). The Ford racers will make their debut...
Harvardmen will also compete in the shot put, weight throw, and several relay contests. McCurdy called the freshman relay team "the best in seven or eight years...
...this year's Harvard team is a good one, too. The Crimson has the strength to build up points in the light-weight classes where Cornell is relatively weak, and hold on in the top weights, where the Big Red is strong. Sophomore Mike King has won the 123-pound spot from undefeated Peter Keeler, and Brian Smith at 130 (1-1) has wrestled well in both his matches. Cornell's team has yet to score a victory below the 137-pound class...
That time the Big Red broke a 14-14 tie with a pin in the last match to win, 19-14. This year sophomore heavy-weight Tack Chace is unbeaten. If it comes to the last match in a tie, Pickett will be happy...
