White Gold: Pure Ore Must Be Mixed For Color
Pure gold is too soft for use in articles exposed to wear, so alloys are added to create colors like white, yellow, red, and green. The final fineness is given in karat or kerat, with 18K and 14K common, while white gold requires careful alloying and skilled technique to avoid cracks, dullness, or poor melting, making it more delicate to produce.

Robot SOS radio beacon aids plane crash locate system
A Pan American Airways employee has invented a radio transmitter that automatically broadcasts location signals after a crash. The emergency radio, mounted in the tail on springs or sponge rubber cushions, would run on batteries for days and guide search teams using radio compasses to the crash site. It is fire insulated by an asbestos suit.
