  Reporter Special 14/4/00: Annual Report of the Library Syndicate for the year 1998-99
The new arrangements in the Entrance Hall have on the whole been very successful and the clean lines and efficiency of the new central desk have been much admired, though, as was only to be expected with such a radical redesign, some teething problems took time to be resolved.
Chief among these were the turnstiles which are installed at both entrance and exit.
Much of this increase was brought about by the introduction of the new turnstiles, which created a demand for a new-style ticket even when the expiry date of the old Polaroid one had not been reached.

 Nanotechnology Is BIG at NIST
Consider work under way at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), where research truly is pushing the limits of technology.
Here, scientists and engineers are building atom and electron counters, single-photon turnstiles, ultracold ion and atom traps, and lasers that generate uniform pulses of light that last only a few trillionths of a second.
For NIST, the quest to design, manipulate, manufacture, and assemble at the molecular and atomic levels translates into a full agenda of demanding measurement jobs and related tasks.

More important from O'Malley's point of view, Miller had persuaded Dave McNally to join the fight.
Miller judged O'Malley to be "a realist, the most rational businessman among the owners." He was more interested in keeping the game going and the turnstiles humming than in challenging the union on dubious legal grounds.
Messersmith was one of baseball's top pitchers and would be worth the likely cost of satisfying his demands.

I will just need to stand in line a bit.
But then one sees that rather than a simple queue, this is more like a funnel??”wide enough where it begins for thirty people to stand side by side, at the end of an open-air shed with a corrugated tin roof, but narrowing a few yards farther on, where everyone is pushing toward two tall turnstiles.
