[Music] doctor if I switch to ban rolon deodorant will I get rid of all my problems no just one ban the longlasting roll on the Bonnyville Salt Flats Utah and a dramatic first in automotive history in the course of filming a mileage demonstration the Shell Oil Company is doing something never done before a car speeds across the flats without a driver this is one of two cars for the shell demonstration steering is done by a Barrett automatic guidance system under the bumper sensing coils receive a signal from a buried cable and automatically keep the car straight on course mile after mile a step toward car and highways of the future shell Engineers spent months making this possible miles of track were cut in the hard salt in perfectly straight parallel lines then the special cable was laid that will guide the cars by electronic signal now the two cars are ready for this historic shell mileage demonstration each will drive the track at 55 mph with no human element to affect the mileage in any way no foot on the gas pedal or brake no driver at the wheel [Music] car number one has super shell without platform eight a mileage ingredient less than 2/3 of a gallon for this short course car number two superhell with PL formate same small amount on each car a smoke bomb set to go off the moment the gasoline runs out there they go down the track each one following its specified

cars identical in every way except that this one is powered by the new Allstate energy cell battery sold only at Sears this other car has an original equipment battery that actually costs more than the All State energy cell battery both batter batteries are brand new both cars are running all accessories tops power windows lights The Works everything except the motor they've been running now for almost 5 minutes and we're going to keep them running till one of them runs down okay 40 minutes later the car with the original equipment battery has quit the car with the Allstate energy cell battery is still going strong but will it start that's what really counts the All State energy cell battery has the reserve power to start this car when the other battery has quit and it's sold only at Sears you are about to drive from one end of Manhattan Island to the other in less than 60 seconds hang on while shell shows you virtually every foot of the 14m trip to the Staten Island Ferry we're really going at a safe speed with police escort a special camera makes it look faster one car ahead runs on super shell with platform 8 the other superhell without platform 8 same amount top quality gasolines are blends of various ingredients we're demonstrating a mileage ingredient when the car without uses up its allotted fuel it'll stop cold watch carefully oops that's it where's the

it's North Americans xb7 ready to take off and fly for the first time the first aircraft ever built to cruise at three times the speed of sound that's 2,000 mph fast enough for friction to heat the outside of this aircraft to more than 630° hot enough to make a whole new ball game out of building airplanes what made them so sure that first day it would even fly let alone survive the heat an aircraft so new that almost every part of it had to be invented from scratch hatch not long ago there was only one way to test new ideas with models in the Wind Tunnel but the xb7 presented so many new problems that to try out all the possible designs for any one part and then to try out all the possible ways to build anyone design would have taken so long using only trial and error methods the xb7 could not have been built in our lifetime but using IBM computers the designer were able to try out ideas while they were still on the drawing board a wing design is reproduced as an equation that equation is fed into the IBM computer and is stored over here meanwhile a formula for friction heat has already been fed in and stored here in minutes a mathematical model of a wing is tried out against equation simulating the Heat and shock of real flight and here's the result numbers telling the designers where the wings have to be thickest thinnest stiffest strongest pointing the way to this incredible design out of the computer came numbers leading also to materials which simply never existed before the same IBM computers also gave heads of the project a picture of each part in relationship to every other part help them synchronize the workflow of thousands of Specialists so that it all all came together and formed the xb7 unaffected by searing Heat at three times the speed of [Music] [Applause] sound the xb7 moves the United States closer to the age of the supersonic transport even now commercial planes that someday may take you where you're going faster than the sun can get there are all already flying part by part in an IBM [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] computer I sure hope this new band spray deodorant works you hope it works new band
