...including the airframe makers, strongly favor a Mach 3. "We ought to do better," growls North American Aviation's Chairman Lee Atwood, "than just to build another Concorde." Since a Mach 3 jetliner, to resist heat at such speeds, would have to be built of stainless steel and titanium, it would take longer to make and would also require costly engineering for new engines. But its backers argue that a Mach 3 would be a radically new plane that would give the U.S. undisputed future leadership. There is also talk of a compromise Mach 2.3 or 2.4 plane that...
Paint & Precedent. The other suit involved Du Pont and American Potash & Chemical Corp.. both of which have undertaken to produce titanium dioxide for paint pigments in new California plants. Recently, after helping design the Du Pont plant, Chemical Engineer Donald E. Hirsch, 38, a Du Pont employee for twelve years, was hired away by American Potash, whose plant is not yet completed. Du Pont pleaded that it had spent $15 million developing the process, and argued that Hirsch could not work for a competitor without giving away Du Pont secrets. American Potash insisted it had already acquired the knowledge...
...DEFENSE PRODUCTION STOCKPILE. Started by Congress in 1950, this was designed to encourage certain industries, e.g., aluminum, titanium, textiles, to maintain or create sufficient capacity to meet anticipated wartime requirements. Current value stockpiled material bought from these plants: $959 million...
...create bigger National Distillers, with assets of $625 million. As unlikely at first glance as marriage of a parson and a show girl, merger would actually make good sense because National, second biggest U.S. maker of polyethylene (first: Union Carbide), also owns 60% of Reactive Metals, Inc. (zirconium, titanium, tantalum, columbium), managed by Bridgeport...
...that the damaged plane began to "disintegrate" as it fell. But in revising the original lie. the Russians bumbled into another one. To explain why the crash did not shatter the plane into small fragments, they said that the U-2 was largely built of unusually lightweight metal (i.e., titanium), and therefore did not fall so very hard. Fact: the U2's frame was not built of titanium, but of ordinary aircraft-grade Duralumin...
