...vehicle, Rosen told the National Capital Astronomers, will be a three-stage rocket 72 ft. long and 45 in. in maximum diameter. It will have no fins, but will depend for steering on its movable rocket motor and an array of small gas-jets. The tanks holding the propellants (liquid oxygen and gasoline for the first stage, nitric acid and dimethyl-hydrazine for the second) will be thin-walled to save weight, and will have little strength when empty. When they are full and highly pressurized with helium, they will become as rigid as auto tires and strong enough...
...their own. Riegel Paper Corp. has developed 600 kinds of packaging paper and cardboard, with all combinations of properties needed by manufacturers and shippers. Some traditional packaging materials have been joined with the newcomers. Bradley Container Corp., for example, is now manufacturing a can for Colgate-Palmolive's liquid detergent, Vel, with metal ends and flexible plastic sides. Thus. Bradley has combined the easy stacking of the tin can with the squeeze action of the polyethylene bottle...
...present, plans for the selection of the three plays are also in the formative stage. Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy, Arthur Kennedy, Judith Anderson, Mildred Dunnock, John Kerr, Siobban McKenna, and Richard Burton have expressed interest in the series. However, all arrangements are presently liquid, and no final committments will be made for several weeks...
...British ground-to-air guided missiles in action. Shot at the trial range at Aberporth, Wales, the films follow the launching and flight of the experimental missile, which reputedly can travel at 1,000 m.p.h. at heights up to 60,000 ft. The missiles are fueled with alcohol and liquid oxygen and presumably controlled by electronic computers on the ground. The filmed sequence, shown last week on NBC, starts (bottom left) as the missile heads skyward, powered by wraparound booster rockets, which begin to fall off (upper left) as the missile reaches top speed. The missile then cuts...
Many airplanes, especially heavy-laden bombers, are launched by booster (jato) rockets whose powerful push gets them into the air without too long a take-off run. The rockets are expensive, whether they use liquid or solid fuel, so the West German Ministry of Transport asked jet-propulsion experts to evaluate hot-water rockets, a prewar German idea that never got a thorough tryout. Recently, Physicist Werner Michely told a meeting at Freu-denstadt that hot-water booster rockets look promising...
