Future developments in transportation

Nearly all prognostigators, from the fellow who buys a $2 ticket on Blue Boy to the financial policy-makers of government and business, base their final conclusions upon past experience. Properly tempered (and herein lies the success or failure of the prophet), this is a completely logical procedure, and is especially applicable to engineering trends, for most of our technical progress has been achieved through a process of evolution.Thus, one of the best ways to gain an insight as to the direction in which we're going is to note our present position and to review how we reached it.In the preceding discussion, I have tried to cover a few specific phases of our transportation future in just this fashion, in order to emphasize that we can expect tomorrow further applications and extensions of the things we are working with today.     

The slow neutron-induced radioactivities of nuclear explosions

The slow neutron-induced radioactivities of nuclear explosions have been evaluated for infinite media of filtered Schuylkill water and the earth's crust. The magnitudes of these effects are compared with the activity of the fission fragments, and the conditions under which they may be of importance are considered.It has been assumed that a gram-molecule of neutrons is liberated in the blast.
