Mounted on trailer, device consists of high-volume air fan delivering air at high velocity into flexible plastic tube. Capable of reaching over 100 ft., tube is used to dispense fog-dispersing liquid and dry chemicals more that 200 ft. into air. Tubing stowed, ground dispensing unit is towed across airport apron. Fan housing can rotate through a 180 degree vertical arc, while platform with both operator and fan can rotate through 360 degree horizontally. Thus, unit can dispense both dry and liquid materials throughout a hemisphere of 200 ft. radius. Ground unit is built by FMC Corporation's John Bean Division, San Jose, California.

(Red Sox-Senators) Washington: Reggie Smith, Red Sox center fielder, makes a major effort for Ken McMullen’s looper in the 9th inning of the first game here 6/29. But he didn’t quite reach it and McMullen got a single. Backing up Smith is Boston’s Tony Conigliaro. Washington won, 5-4.
