Langley Research Center announced that Dr. Edgar M. Cortright, who had been director of the center 1968-1975 and was now a vice president of Owens-Illinois, Inc., would speak at the center coloquium Nov. 14 on recent developments in solar energy.
Dr. Cortright, in charge of overall technical direction at the large multinational corporation now interested in uses of solar energy, would discuss technical, economic, and legislative aspects of the newly developing industry that would depend for wide application upon being price competitive with other energy sources in spite of being inexhaustible and nonpolluting. The next few years would see its first domestic applications in areas such as space heating and air conditioning. (LaRC Release 77-54)
