Abstract

A WELL‐BALANCED programme of lectures was presented at the Thirteenth Forum, dealing with design and development of engines, auto‐pilots, rotor blades, investigations of VTOL concepts, rotor blade dynamics, and helicopter operations. The technical contributions were of the high standard normally associated with American work in this field, while the ‘commercials’ extolling the merits of a particular product were, with one exception, restrained, by local standards. The exception was notable for the use of full‐blooded TV commercial presentation techniques, including sound recordings of the first engine run (preceded by the inevitable countdown) and the phased presentation of slides at the rate of two a minute. It may be that this innovation will be taken to its logical conclusion, and that future ‘lectures’ dealing with proprietary designs will be delivered by a professional commentator, to the accompaniment of suitable background music. ‘Ladies and Gentlemen, we bring you today the engine of tomorrow, the fabulous XYZ!’ (Triumphant chord.) ‘The engine that only Blank Inc. could make!’

Abstract

In a gas turbine power plant, a turbine including a rotor and a surrounding casing, a housing surrounding the casing, supporting means extending between the turbine casing and the housing for supporting the casing within the housing, a thrust nozzle through which gas from the turbine is discharged, and an exhaust duct connecting the turbine to the nozzle, in combination with at least one radiation shield located between and spaced from the turbine casing and hous‐ing and surrounding the casing, the downstream end of the shield being concentric to and closely spaced from the exhaust duct to define an ejector located within the duct upstream of the thrust nozzle and communicating with the space between the shield and housing for maintaining a flow of cooling air there‐through.

Abstract

Tackles the subject of National Health Service (NHS) reforms in the UK which have forced hospitals to behave more like businesses, for example, many are now looking at the cost of quality in health care. Examines the quality initiatives supported by the Department of Health and covers the work done by the NHS management executive. Investigates areas where cost of quality is high, as well as investigating the costs of failure.

Abstract

It has been obvious for some time that the U.S. manufacturing industry has been on a downward slide. However, the recent recession has accelerated the speed of the decline to the point of public outcry. Production, and thus employment in some industries is down by a third. This, in turn, is creating profound economic hardships for many communities and a crisis of regional economic disparity not seen since the Great Depression.
