...past few months, almost all of that has represented a simple pass-along of higher wholesale prices. Dealers have been permitted only two small increases in the gross margin of selling price over buying cost since 1973, and out of that they have to pay more for wages, rent, heat. It is too early to tell how widely the shutdown will be observed, but in some states the impact may be severe. When the Memorial Day weekend comes, closings will be widespread. Michigan officials fear that most of that state's gas stations will be dry by the time...
...INSCO, which sells computer services to Continental and other insurers, decided that it could save fuel through what was literally an open-door policy. So one cold Friday evening, the doors throughout the firm's three story, 102,000-sq.-ft. building were left open so that the heat given off by its data processing equipment-three large IBM 3033 computers, two printers and 160 disc and tape units-could flow to every floor. During that weekend, although the boilers were cut off, office temperatures dropped no more than three degrees...
Inspired, INSCO asked a New Jersey architectural and engineering firm named CUH2A to design a way to make full use of the 1.5 million B.T.U.s per hr. of the normally wasted heat from the computers. In place since last year, the CUH2A system employs a maze of pipes, coils and heat exchangers that allow the byproduct B.T.U.s to heat both air space and water in the original building and in a new 72,000-sq.-ft. annex.

Last winter the old gas-fired boilers were not required at all for hot air, and the company's yearly gas bill has been cut from $40,000 to $15,000 (some boiler heat was still needed for hot water heating). The company also avoided having to put in the new annex separate boilers that would have cost $125,000 to install and would have burned $30,000 worth of gas annually. "The system will pay for itself by the end of this year," predicts INSCO Senior Vice President William Barren. "Last winter we were running...
...unreasonably low seventh seed, the heavies drew a heat with Yale and Dartmouth, both of which had beaten the squad earlier in the season. The heavies handled the Big Green easily, however, cruising to second behind Yale with more than a length to spare...
