Science: The House on 91st Street
(2 of 2)
Project Cyclone is now working on a rocket missile that will seek out enemy rockets. It must find them by radar, calculate their course and speed; then set its own course to intercept and destroy them. The job involves mathematical problems so complex that human brains could work for years without even denting them. But Project Cyclone's men are sure it can be done in the House on 91st Street.
