Heart Lung Machine Is Acquired DARBY A recently acquired heart-lung machine at Fitzgerald Mercy Hospital played an important role in an open heart operation on a three-year-old girl.

The machine was used for the first time Jan. 8. The patient was Lorraine Grassi; daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gino Grassi, 244 Avon Road, Upper Darby.

Lorraine was sufluring from a hole in the wall which separates the two upper chambers of the leart. The condition had been present at birth. Surgeons successfully closed the defect and Lorraine has been improving steadily. The machine serves multiple purposes during an operation. It enables the surgical team to stop heart and keep it free of blood.

The heart can then be opened for surgery inside. The machine picks up blood from the two main veins leading lo the heart and routes it around the heart and back into the body. The blood is maintained at proper temperature oxygenated and freed of carbon dioxide. The machine can also- be used to lower the temperature of the body to reduce oxygen requirements. At the same time, heart tissues are protected while surgery is underway.

"The acquisition of the heart- lung machine and its successful use means Fitzgerald Mercy Hospital can now offer diagnosis and treatment of all cardiovascular problems," Sister Marie, hospital administrator said.

Solid Fuel Rocket To Undergo Tests Appeal Filed on Assessment MEDIA COURTHOUSE --Sun Shipbuilding Dry Dock Co. has tiled an appeal in behalf of Joseph Bancroft Sons Co.

for reduction of a 1963 assessment on property used by Bancroft in Eddystone. The property, formerly occupied the Eddystone Manufacturing on Eddystone Avenue, is assessed at 5373,000 for 1963. Sun Ship owns the property but under a leasing agreement Bancroft Sons must pay real estate taxes. By law, the appeal must be filed the properly owner. The 1962 assessment was also $373,000.

Richard D. Geckcr, vice president and manager of Aerojet'i Solid Rocket plant, said construction of the chamber was just one phase of a feasibility study and was not designed with any specific government program in mind.

Informed sources, however, said Aerojet has high hopes for their enormous solid fuel rocket, and should the government approve the program, it could result in a major diversification for Sun Ship. A Sun Ship spokesman said the work was done without publicity at the request of Aerojet. The initial chamber is designed for various tests, but will not be fired. Acrojct's rocket would use four such engine chambers and would be the largest space vehicle In the world. Charles Zeien, Sun Ship vice president in charge of engineering, said construction of chamber represented less than one per cent of the work at the yard.

He said it took three months to build. Aerojet spokesmen would not say officially that Sun Ship would receive contracts to build the hambers if the rocket company cis approval from the government, but Zeien indicated it could epresent "five years work, init- ally about 10 per cent of the ship Card's activity." "It could get quite a bit big- er," Zeien said. Gecker explained the purpose if the feasibility program, "We need larger thrust boosters for space flight, and there is a decision to be made either for iquid propellant or solid propel- ant," he said. 'We feel solid fuel rockets are cheaper and faster to make, but assessment at $750,000. The assessment appealed, and at a December hearing the 1963 assessment wa reversed back to $373,000.

"We think technical information gained from something Jike this would certainly provide better information for the people who make these decisions." Gecker said he was impressed by tiie speed with which Sun Ship completed the work. Zeien said it was the first time a shipbuilding company had built chamber for a rocket maker. said previous engine chambers were small enough for the space facilities to build. Sun Ship had previously constructed components for rocket nstallations and shipment of rocket fuel, but this is the first work done by the company for an ac- 'ual space vehicle. He said the job presented no unusual difficulties for the ship t'ard.

Sun Ship was given the job be- -ause of its experience in build- ng large steel structures, and is access to water transportation. The large chamber can be shipped only by water. Plans call for the chamber to transported by conventional barge via the Inland Waterway Acrojet's new plant in Dade bounty, in the spring. It was announced Wednesday hat some tests previously scheduled for the Florida plant will be made before the chamber eaves Sun Ship. One such will be method of strengthening the steel by heat processes.
