...thing that might affect union strategy was an abnormal slump last week in new-car sales. Despite the fact that output has been low-4,288,907 cars this model year compared to 6,212,291 in 1957-the backlog of cars in dealers' hands was still high.

Otherwise, gravity, as well as lateral movement, would affect the weights. To hold the accelerometers steady, they are hinged to platforms, stabilized by gyroscopes, which keep an unchanging relationship to the earth (the platform of the north-south instrument, for instance, is always at the same angle to the polar axis). But the accelerometers do not remain immovable. Holding their tangential position, they must slowly tip on their platforms...
...best way to pierce these mysteries is to see how they affect the lunar probe. Such data alone will make the gadget a superb spy in space. It hardly matters whether it also becomes the greatest billiard shot in the history...

Under the First Amendment, he feels, even such aids should not be offered by the Federal Government.
