I guess I was nervous because I had choices: I could walk whichever way I wished, and with my two nickels at the doughnut place I had to decide what sort of doughnut...

Hole in the Doughnut. Aero-Go's gadget goes to work after ground crews have rolled a plane's wheels onto small, dolly-like platforms. Underneath each platform are air bearings-flat disks made of plastic-fabric materials. When air is pumped into the disks, they assume a doughnut shape, raising the platform and its heavy load from 1 to 3 in. As the bearings become inflated, air escaping through perforations in the doughnut seeps underneath it. That thin film of escaping air suspends platform and plane above the concrete surface...

The company's laboratories have developed a new kind of memory system, which uses thin-film rods instead of conventional doughnut-shaped cores and is cheaper to manufacture. Each rod, one-tenth of an inch long, is coated with a thin film of magnetic material and then "danced" into coils of wire where 4,600 rods grouped together make up a memory plane. NCR has also standardized integrated circuits...
