As so often the case, the woman has to be twice as smart, three times as witty, and with 4 times the drive to be one half as successful as a man in that same environment. (engineering) But brilliance cannot be stopped, or denied….only temporarily dimmed, or in her case, simply run off the track by a male pea-brain. And in view of the gosh-awful junk coming out of Hollywood these days, one can only hope that a great story of her remarkable life could, & should be brought to the light of day, and the dark of the CinemaScope theater.

Great article – my compliments to Mr. Holloway.

I knew about the negative-G problems with the carburettor, but I didn’t know about the formidable Miss Shilling, and I assumed the solution eventually came in the form of an upgraded model of carburettor. I had no idea it was as simple as a washer that could be fitted in situ! Genius! Thanks for the tale.
