Goals Filled. ODM's Flemming also refused to issue fast tax write-off certificates to help expand production of steel and five other goods (commercial aircraft, aviation fuel, titanium melting, titanium processing and taconite iron ore). The defense expansion goals have been filled, said Flemming. Actually, more plant expansion now would make steel even scarcer by diverting it to new plants that would not be in production until...
...Titanium for Heat. G.E.'s heatproofers attacked their problem bit by bit. Since copper and aluminum fail at high temperatures, they turned to titanium and corrosion-resistant alloys. They learned how to coat wires with ceramic insulation. They made condensers out of fused aluminum oxide. In vacuum tubes they used titanium and ceramics instead of copper and glass...
...some ways the heatproof tubes work better than ordinary tubes. When operating red-hot, they need no electrically heated filament; their cathodes are hot enough to give off plenty of electrons. The hot titanium inside them acts as a "getter," sweeping up any stray gases that might impair the vacuum...
...Montreal, president of New Royran Copper Mines and a major stockholder in most of Chibougamau's other more promising companies. Virginia-born Randy Mills first visited the area in the 1930s, never quite forgot it during subsequent years of promoting Labrador's famed iron mines and the titanium mines at Havre St. Pierre, Que. As he sees it, the boom has just begun. Arrival of the Canadian National Railways' branch line by year's end seems certain to give the bonanza a new lift. And out in the bush to the north of Chibougamau, a crew...
...both Czarist and Soviet regimes have had to force people to live and work there. Tens of millions of hapless human slaves, cutting timber, tilling the bleak steppe, or digging through the permafrost (in some places 75 ft. deep) to get at the gold, iron, coal, copper, nickel, uranium, titanium, magnesium and bauxite have laid the foundations of a series of vast industrial enterprises. To develop this industry, the Soviet Union now needs the skills and crafts of mil lions of willing, i.e., voluntary, workers, and agricultural producers to feed them...
