Just what it would be like to meet the Russians in a dark tunnel became apparent in the next two days. Vishinsky announced that his government would abandon opposition to the latest Western resolution on disarmament-that is, if the West would abandon its insistence on disarmament by stages under rigid inspection. The West held to its protection clause, so again Vishinsky voted nyet. Then Vishinsky addressed himself to a Polish catchall proposal covering Korea, peace, disarmament, etc. The U.S.S.R., said Vishinsky, was "unswerving for peace." But on closer look, it proved only to be unswerving, period. Vishinsky laid down...

Well, have there not been a few deeds, at least during the last month? . . . Where are yours?" Let us, proposed Vishinsky, "dig the tunnel of friendship from both sides [in order] to meet sooner and halfway...
Three-Part Tunnel...
Pratt and Whitney provided three pieces of equipment, the tunnel, an axial flow compressor rig, and a centrifugal compressor rig. The tunnel is divided into three parts. The first, or front, is for subsonic speeds and is used to calibrate the instruments used in the testing program. This subsonic section, with a diameter of six inches, narrows down to a throat--shaped section where supersonic speeds are produced. Behind this is a subsonic cascade tunnel, used in the rotor tests...
...apparatus used in the project, though originally provided by Pratt and Whitney, is now the property of the University. The supersonic tunnel has been used in a variety of different ways, such as the study of super-sonic shock waves.The axial flow compressor shown here supplies volumes of air up to 30,000 cubic feet per minute to the wind tunneis. Besides the axial flow compressor, there is a centrifugal compressor. Axial flow has largely taken the place of centrifugal flow on the power plants that drive modern jet aircraft. The large size of the above compressor can be observed...
