...British chemist named F. S. Kipping, who developed the first practical formula for making them in 1904. Kipping saw little use for silicones. But researchers of the Corning Glass Works and General Electric, picking up where Kipping left off, have recently developed silicones in a variety of forms (liquid and solid) for a variety of purposes...
Wonders to Come. As liquid or vapor, silicones are sprayed on all sorts of materials to make them waterproof; they form a thin, invisible film which does not change the feel of the material. As oil or grease, they make ideal lubricants. As plastics, they are extremely tough. Some silicone wonders promised by engineers...
...experts would probably concentrate on getting maximum production from China's steel furnaces. Alloy steel and other critical materials not available in China would still be flown in over the Hump. The Americans would also try to increase liquid fuel production against the day when U.S. trucks would roll again up the Burma Road...
...consensus: V-2 is probably propelled by alcohol or gasoline and liquid oxygen. It has a warhead with about a ton of explosive, a supply of compressed gas (perhaps nitrogen) to force the fuel into the combustion chamber, and fins to keep it on a set course. It is believed to carry at least seven times the weight of its explosive in fuel. It probably has a series of jets, operated in succession to keep the rocket going on its long course (and perhaps helpful also in steering). One plausible reconstruction, by Martial & Scull, Manhattan industrial designers, indicated a steering...
...through the body with a ray detector-something like watching the movements of a dyed member of a school of fish. One of his findings: a given water molecule, after drinking, usually stays in the human body about 13 days. For example, in urination, an individual expels not the liquid last drunk but the older accumulations in his body's reservoir...
