Abstract

DURING the past fifteen years technical literature has garnered as much information as in all previously recorded history, and man has grown very adept at quickly converting this knowledge into machines and processes. Doing so has provided him with more material comforts than the greatest in the land enjoyed a few centuries ago. This increase in knowledge and the employment of sophisticated technology over a broad field means that every industrialized country can echo the old Swiss boast: ‘Got any rivers they say are uncrossable? Got any mountains you can't tunnel through? We specialize in the wholly impossible, doing the things that no others can do.’
