...commonest technique used for wall pictures, produces colors that under the best of conditions are only partially true. Even the far more costly and time-consuming method of collotype, which offers near-perfect color veracity, does not capture the raised daubs and whorls of the artist's brush...
Hand-Painted & Destroyed. Now new processes are beginning to be used for reproductions that fool not only the eye but the sense of touch as well, duplicating both the color and raised brush stroke of oil on canvas. Surrealist Painter Max Ernst, for one, was astonished when technicians in France showed him duplicates of his 1966 work, The Phantom Vessel: "I was absolutely incapable of detecting that they were not my original...

In Bavaria, West Germany, a reclusive engraver named Günther Dietz, 48, has developed a variant on the silk-screen method that has already produced copies of Rembrandt, Dufy, Chagall, Degas, Cezanne and Marini that are almost indistinguishable from the originals...

Transatlantic? By 1963, British engineers had solved the clearance problem by equipping hovercraft with rubberized canvas skirts several feet long. Although the skirts were strong enough to contain the pressurized air-enabling hovercraft to rise several feet above the ground-they were flexible enough to brush over solid obstacles and high waves. The development of skirts converted the hovercraft from an experimental device into a practical means of transportation. The British Hovercraft Corp. has already built and sold seven-ton, 18-passenger hovercraft and nine-ton, 38-passenger models like those in operation at Expo 67. Both have...
