The first seminar is being held in
Washington this week, the second
in New York next Tuesday and the
third in Chicago Jan. 25. The federal
Department of Energy is co
sponsoring the programs.
None of the technology the Finns
will be describing is radically new,
but because of the geographical
peculiarities of their country, the
Finns have developed expertise and
hardware in these areas that they
feel the United States could make
use of.
Take district heating. In New
York, although Consolidated Edison
Corp. has piped steam to apartment
houses and other buildings in Man
hattan for decades, most Manhattan
buildings have their own heating
plants.
The idea of selling steam heat as
well as electricity all over their mar
keting areas has barely come to the
notice of most American utilities.
By contrast, almost 20 percent of
the buildings in Finland are heated
by steam supplied by the electric
power industry^. In some Finnish
cities, 50 percent of all heating
steam is supplied from central
plants.
The Finns believe many Ameri
can utilities could use their technol
ogy to produce and market steam for
district heating along with electric
ity at a profit. Speakers at the semi
nars will discuss the engineering
and cost factors involved.
Even though Energy Secretary
James Schlesinger has urged Ameri
can utilities to burn gas temporarily
and delay conversion to coal, the
Finns believe the United States ul
timately should utilize peat as well
as coal to generate energy as petro
leum fuels become more scarce.
The United States has a lot of peat
as well as coal and lignite. The
biggest deposits are in Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Michigan. Peat ac
counts for only 2 percent of Fin
land’s energy generation (in contrast
with one-third for Ireland) but there
has been a dramatic increase in the
past three years. The Finns have
developed improved boiler furnaces
for burning peat and they believe
some American communities could
use their skills and even their
hardware to great advantage.
There is growing criticism in the
ic" xxr
Lhiited States of small fossil-fired
electric generating plants on the
grounds they are economically inef
ficient. On the other hand, the
Finns say small hydroelectric plants
have proved extremely efficient in
their country with its thousands of
lakes.
For some years it has been widely
accepted that the United States al
ready has used up nearly all its eco
nomically feasible hydroelectric-
sites. But a recent joint report by
the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission and the Development
& Resources Corp. said U.S. hy
dropower output could be tripled or
quadrupled if available small
waterpower sites could be exploited
economically.

Slimline TI-25™
TI-55
Performance and price are the keys in choosing a calculator.
One of these Texas Instruments slide-rules is right for you.
Capability. Quality. Value. The right
combination can help you make short
work of problems in fields like math,
engineering, science and business
statistics and give you more time for
other important things. Choose the Tl
calculator that’s right for you and get
ahead of the game.
TI-55. Advanced slide-rule functions with
statistics, programmability and valuable
problem-solving applications book.
The versatile TI-55 calculating system
is packed with the features and func
tions you need to handle almost any
mathematical operation, from loga
rithms and trigonometry to advanced
statistical problems. Thirty-two steps
of programmability add new dimen
sions of accuracy, speed and ease to
performing repetitive calculations and
"what-if” analyses. You just teach the
TI-55 a series of operations and it per
forms those steps for you.
For more help in making quantita
tive decisions, the
TI-55 comes with
the Calculator De
cision - Making
Sourcebook, a $5.00
value. The book, 140
pages of easy-to-
understand, real-
life applications.
shows you how to use the power of
statistics, financial math and program
mability in analyzing relationships in
data, verifying quality and perfor
mance, measuring change, forecast
ing trends and projecting returns... in
short, how to make better decisions,
today and tomorrow. Calculator and
book combination, only $50.00*.
Slimline TI-50. A powerful, stylish slide-rule
with new Constant Memory™ feature.
The pocket-portable Slimline TI-50 is
today’s most powerful liquid crystal
display (LCD) slide-rule calculator. It
has 60 functions including common
and natural logarithms and six trigo
nometric operations that can be per
formed in three angular modes (de
grees, radians or grads).
Seven built-in statistical functions
make it easy to “boil down” large
amounts of data so you can perform
accurate analyses and draw reliable
conclusions.
Two constant memories retain their
contents even when the calculator is
turned off, so frequently used con
stants and other basic values are at
your fingertips when you need them.
Two miniature batteries provide
over 1000 hours of operation in normal
use; Tl’s APD™ automatic powerdown
feature helps prevent accidental bat
tery drain by turning off the calculator
after approximately 10 minutes of
non-use. With imitation leather wallet,
$40.00*.
Slimline TI-25. Slide-rule power at a small
price.
Economy and value go hand-in-hand
with the Slimline TI-25, a pocket-
portable LCD scientific calculator that
has what it takes to handle advanced
math. It provides the most-needed
slide-rule functions. Trigonometry in
degrees, radians or grads. Plus basic
statistical power, too: Mean, Variance,
Standard Deviation.
Three levels of parentheses can
handle up to three pending operations
to make your work easier. Four-key
memory allows you to store and recall
values, add-to memory contents and
exchange stored and displayed
numbers.
The TI-25 goes far on a pair of min
iature batteries —includes APD™ cir
cuitry. Vinyl wallet included, $33.00*.
