This citation summarizes a one-page announcement of technology available for utilization. The weight and cost of aircraft, ships, ground vehicles, and buildings could be reduced by incorporating as a part of the mechanical structure such hardware as electric wires, pneumatic lines, fiber optics, and hollow tubes for acoustic transmission. For example, an automobile could include wires, fuel lines, and heating and coolant lines all in one load-supporting structure. The new proposal, originally suggested for spacecraft, is a set of uniformly-sized mass-producible modular structural elements that contain electric, fluid, and other transmission lines. ...FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Contact: Director, Technology Transfer Division, P.O.
