This scanning electron microscope view - magnified 5-- times - of a magnetically coated tungsten wire (foreground) and a human hair will give you idea. The tungsten wire, about 205 thousandths-of-an-inch in diameter, is being used by General Electric aerospace engineers to fabricate airborne computer memories for guiding supersonic aircraft and distant space probs with greater accuracy. based on a new wore-electroplating process developed at the GE Research and Development Center, Schenectady, N.Y. the new computer memory is produced at the Aerospace Electronic Systems Department of GE's Aircraft Equipment Division, Utica, N.Y. for use in military, aerospace, and industrial control applications
