Argonne develops advanced force reflecting manipulator
Argonne National Laboratory engineers Raymond C. Goertz and W. M. Thompson showcased an electronically controlled force reflecting master slave manipulator at Ann Arbor's Atoms for Peace Exposition. The device, paired with Argonne's 3D television system, lets operators perform distant, barriered manipulations with near hand-like speed and dexterity. It uses seven motions, remotely controlled servomechanisms, and feedback to the operator, with a lead capacity initially four pounds and future plans to handle hundreds of pounds through enhanced designs.

Public Law 16 Training Eligibility Under Veteran Benefits
The record explains how Public Law 16 training can be used to overcome a handicap with VA counseling. If the veteran switches from the Korean GI bill to Public Law 16, previously earned Korean GI training may be subtracted from Public Law 16 time, or from the original Korean GI entitlement, whichever yields the applicable training period. The goal is to preserve full Public Law 16 training needed to restore employability while outlining the subtraction rule.
