Factories in Space
Believed Possible
The possibilities of carry
ing out manufacturing proc
esses aboard space laborato
ries show considerable
promise for the future, ac
cording to L R McCreight
of General Electric Co.’s
Space Sciences Laboratory,
Philadelphia. Pa.
He said that the manufac
tme of “more perfect crystal
eleclionic material compo
nents” and “pure biologicals”
is a possibility
Crystal germination of
substances for use in elec
tronic and computer technol
ogy could be done at cost sav
ings in zero-gravity space,
Mr McCreight said.

Concrete Solution
Found for Fly Ash
Fly ash, a residue produced
by the burning of finely pul
verized coal in large power
plants, is now collected by
means of electrostatic precip
itators, and is being used as a
cement extender in ready
mix-concrete and concrete
block.
A year-long program in
volving the removal, classi
fication and sale by AMAX
Fly Ash Corporation, At
lanta, Ga., from the Georgia
Power Company has demon
strated how fly ash can be
profitably utilized.
During the first year more
than 60,000 tons of fly ash
were recovered and shipped.
According to the AMAX
spokesman the addition of fly
ash “produces a stronger and
more durable and imperme
able concrete product. Fur
ther it reduces raw material
costs.”
