Formosa reports from American and Nationalist sources place China's armed forces at just under three million, similar to 1964 levels before Vietnam air attacks. Despite some firepower gains and a nuclear development, delivery means are limited to about 10 outdated B29 bombers, with missiles years away. Cannibalized Soviet equipment and regional deployments outline manpower across border, eastern coast, and near Quemoy and Matsu.

Heat Wave Inspires Fort Scott Mechanic's Giant Fan
Harold Morrell of Fulton built a massive 1714 foot diameter electric fan in 1954 to cool Bob Bauer's Wall Street Auto Body Shop during a Kansas heat wave. The plywood blades, one foot wide and eight feet long, mount on a car axle hub powered by a small one third horsepower motor and bicycle rim belt. Only worn belt has caused a failure, and the fan spins at 32 revolutions per minute.
