Ground Breaking SlatedFor New Building

Ground breaking for Librascope's new building is tenta-tively scheduled for December 1, 1953, according to an an-nouncement made recently by W. E. Bratton.

Present plans call for a buildingin excess of 50,000 square feet,facing Western Avenue. Thebuilding will be of masonry con-struction and will house admini-stration and engineering depart-ments.

Considerable r e m o d e l i n g ofbuilding One is planned to pro-vide for expanded machine shopand model shop activities afteradministration and engineeringmove.

These building plans mark an-other step forward in Librascope'scontinuing expansion, which, ac-cording to Lewis Imm, president,is continuing evidence of Libra-scope's intention to be a leader inits field.

"We can all move forward to-gether," he said, "so long as wemaintain the high quality whichis so vital to our work."

Children, Adults Live It Up At Annual Picnic Korea Pilot Back at Librascope

Workers InjuredIn Three Mishaps

According to airline supersti-tion, accidents happen in groupsof three. Although not really sup-erstitious, Libra workers arecrossing their fingers and hopingthat our string has run out.

Doris Appleby, assembly de-partment, broke her foot gettinginto a car on the same day WilmorYoung, maintenance department,sustained a broken leg. Shortlyafter this Harry Newbanks, ma-chine shop, lacerated a finger tip.

All are recovering nicely, onlyWilmor being unable to return towork immediately.

While a broken leg is no picnic,Wilmor will have no complica-tions, according to medical advice,and it will only be a question oftime before he will return.

The Safety committee will ofcourse study accident causes andhas already announced it hopesthat this unfortunate series willact as a caution to all other em-ployees in exercising care andsafe work habits.

Judging from the shrill yelps ofglee wafting from Sherman GrovePark Sunday, October 4, the an-nual Librascope picnic was ahowling success.

The kids wore themselves to afrazzle (their parents, too) enjoy-ing the ferris wheel, airplane ride,bus ride, pony rides, ice cream,pop and other refreshment.

Many contests were held for thechildren, with many prizes beingawarded. Unfortunately, the Li-brazette reporter assigned to thestory, was too busy stuffing hisown small fry with ice cream andseeing that the bartenders didn'trun out of customers for the draftbeer that he neglected to recordnames of the winners.

(Editor's Note: We're gonna missthat boy around here.)

It was learned that Art Johnsonand his wife won the egg tossingcontest for adults. An event not onthe program was a spontaneousexhibition of hill rolling in a bar-rel by an unidentified employee.He immediately retired from ac-tive competition.

Dancing was to Woody Wood-ward's excellent juke box. Manyreal cool records were providedby the Precisioneers.

The swimming pool temptedmany, since the Los Angeles area

Anyone Can Get Into the Act HereEmployee programs are essential

to the welfare of any healthy,growing company, and Librascopeis no exception.

Starting with the idea that man-agement believes that employeeswho are satisfied and who are re-cognized as individuals can do abetter job, Librascope has been inthe process of installing variousemployee programs.

Whatever your interests, in allprobability you can find some-thing at Librascope, in addition toyour job duties, which will proveof value and interest to you. Hereare a few of the activities to whichyou can contribute time and abil-ity, and from which you mayprofit.

Our Librascope employee associ-

ation, known as the Precisioneers,elects officers annually. This as-sociation plans and carries out em-ployee sports programs, social ac-tivities and special events. All ofthe sports programs require plan-ning and guidance. Included arebaseball, bowling, basketball, pingpong, golf and horse shoes.

The Precisioneers also sponsorstamp clubs, photography clubsand other groups with special in-terests. Picnics and dances alsorequire planning, so there is roomfor plenty of help on these pro-grams. Just make known your de-sire to help.

Workers RespondTo Aid Club Plea

Employee participation in thenewly formed Librascope AidClub has been excellent, commit-tee members report, with partici-pation exceeding 75 percent afterthe first five days of the drive.

Some sections have a solid 100percent membership, and officialshope the plant participation willhit 85 percent.

The Aid Club committee willmeet soon to start plans for al-location of funds to worthy groups.Stickers and membership cardswill be issued to contributors.

In addition to aiding majorcharities, the committee has de-cided to set aside a portion of themoney collected for the relief ofhardship cases among Librascopeemployees.

Committee members, recentlyelected on an equal representationbasis throughout the company, areTom Bryant, Doris Eberle, BillGreer, Norman Guiffre, GeorgeHenderson, Steve Jackman, DanaNixon, Joe Riddle, Floyd Sebalyand Ray Setty.

Members of the committee, whohave been circulating among Li-brascope employees, hope allworkers will back this worthycharity organization wholeheart-edly.

Andy McLeod DiesNews of the sudden death while

at work of Andy McLeod, produc-tion control, Monday, October 5,stunned the many friends he hadmade at Librascope.

McLeod first came to work forLibrascope in 1951. He left for ashort time in 1952. He said he re-turned after a few months becauseof his many pleasant associations.

McLeod lived in Glendale. Heis survived by his wife, Edna El-oise McLeod, of Glendale, and ason, Jeffrie.

After completing nearly 80 mis-sions over enemy lines in Koreaduring a tour of duty with the U.S. Marine Corps, Captain CliffGodwin returned last month to ajob with the engineering designstaff at Librascope.

The pilot has been awardedthe Distinguished Flying Cross,seven Air Medals, and the PurpleHeart.

Cliff was recalled to duty inMarch, 1952, and after a six-monthrefresher course was sent to a jetfighter-bomber squadron. Moretraining with Pantherjets follow-ed in Santa Ana. In February of1953 Cliff headed for Korea.

His squadron flew close supportmissions for ground forces frombase fields near Pusan and Seoi',!On interdiction hops his groupblasted bridges, reservoirs, rail-roads and other transportation fa-cilities. Captain Godwin reportedhe saw only one MIG during histour of duty—near the Yalu Riversector.

The last few months he spentin Korea Cliff led many dawn anddusk road reconaissance sortiesagainst truck convoys bringingammunition to North Korean forc-es.

Winner and Trophy

HAPPY GOLFER—Art Davis, winner of the President's Cup at theannual golf tourney, held September 20 at the Rancho Golf Course,receives the coveted trophy from Lewis Imm, Librascope president,during a post-tourney dinner in the clubhouse.

Art Davis Wins President's Cup;Beats Field of 52 Eager Golfers

Art Davis, model shop foreman,walked off with the President'sCup for low gross in this year's an-nual Golf Tournament, one of thelargest Precisioneer - sponsoredtourney's to date.

Other trophy winners were BillMcAboy, engineering, first lowgross, and Norm Nelsen, pur-chasing, first low gross in the"wiffer's flight," (handicap 30 ormore).

A field of 52 golfers took to thegreens in the tourney, held atRancho golf course September 20.Following the play participantswere feted with a banquet duringwhich trophies were awarded.Prizes were presented to all golf-ers.

Now under way is a Calcuttaplay-off to determine the winnerof the Precisioneer's perpetualtrophy.

Bill McAboy played his usualconsistent style of golf to shootthe low score of the day, an 85.He made up for some bad luckon the first nine with an excellent41 on the second. His 13 strokehandicap brought this to 72 net,just one stroke more than Davis,who carded a (87-16) 71.

Other scores among the 16 topplayers who will participate in theCalcutta ranged upward to 101gross. As a matter of fact fiveplayers went the 18 in 101, one ofwhom had to be eliminated bymatching cards to keep the play-off down to 16 golfers. Forest Mc-Call was the unlucky fifth man.

President Lewis Imm, who in-augurated the President's Cupaward last year, finally was ableto play in this tournament. Forseveral years, his plans to playhave been disrupted by the ne-cessity of trips east. This year hedidn't have to leave until 10:30that night.

Results of the Calcutta will beposted on the bulletin boards. Par-ticipating are:

Precisioneers Set New Type Radiation DetectorFor Yule Shopping Is Designed by Librascope

The addition of new shelvingfor the display of Christmas mer-chandise and the acquisition of asmall storage area have tempor-arily solved the expansion prob-lem of the Precisioneer Store.

Eileen Brown, secretary, hascontacted a number of largewholesale houses and has obtaineda variety of items for purchase atattractive savings.

Many catalogs are available forthose desiring to compare pricesor to look over what may be or-dered locally.

Appliances have been sellingwell, Eileen reports. A wide var-iety of irons, coffeemakers, mix-masters, broilers, toasters andfryers is now available. Televisionsets, stoves and refrigerators con-tinue to be popular sales items.

A complete stock of hardwarefor home builders and remodelers,including woodworking tools andgarden implements, may be or-dered. A limited quantity of newtriple beater mixers, for only $31,is available.

Folders describing childrens'toys, dolls, trains and hundreds ofother items are to be seen at thestore.

Employees planning to buyjewelry would be wise to checkthe items on display and availablefrom wholesale houses.

Many discount cards are avail-able to Precisioneers, Eileen an-nounced.

Fontana TripForty-five treked to the Kaiser

Fontana steel mill last month fora guided tour through the plantand dinner in the Kaiser SteelCafeteria. Biggest thrill, accordingto our reporter, was watching thewhite hot steel flowing like water.Exciting as well as educational, thetrip is recommended to all bythose who went.

the models was accidently droppedthree feet onto concrete and con-tinues to perform accurately.)

A radically new type radiation detector designed for useby civil defense workers after an atomic blast is Librascope'slatest offering on the commercial market, it was revealed thismonth.

Knowing whether radiation ispresent and to what extent is es-sential for the "advance guard"civil defense workers if they areto avoid crippling or fatal radia-tion burns.

The Libratector begins flashinglights when radioactive materialis present and also shows on acalibrated scale just how much ofthe lethal stuff is in the air.

The gadget was developed byFrank A. Hill, electronics engin-eer, and Fred Kirr, design engin-eer, with assists from specialiststhroughout the plant.

Using an entirely different cir-cuit from other geiger countingdevices, our engineers have at-tained greater accuracy and longerlife than was believed possible ina portable radiation detector.

Another important feature is itslight weight — the Libratectorweighs only four pounds.

Because of a remarkably lowpower drain, the instrument is runby two ordinary flash light batter-ies and will operate for long peri-ods before these have to be re-placed. Then, batteries can bechanged as easily as those in anyflashlight.

The amount of radiation presentis read directly in Roentgens perhour on a lighted meter scale onthe face of the instrument. Rangeof the scale is one million to one.

But perhaps the outstanding fea-ture is the fact that the Libra-

tector utilizes a magnetic ampli-fier and therefore requires nomaintenance. It should also havea low cost.

Housed in a bright yellow casemade of fiberglass and plastic, itcan be decontaminated by clean-ing with soap and water or bysanding and will withstand sub-mersion in six feet of water with-out leaking. (Incidentally, one of

Captain Godwin, when question-ed, maintains that the jets aremuch safer and more accuratethan the propeller-driven types heflew during World War II.

Glad to be back at Librascope,Cliff is at work on the digitalcomputer program, under DaveHarrison.

The Voices of Librascope

LOOK HAPPY? — That's the way they usually sound, too, these two girls who operate the switch-board and help guard the portals of Librascope. They are Gina Kinghorn (left) and Phyllis M. Cooper. Inaddition to answering incoming calls, making outside connections and paging the various busy employeesthroughout the plant, these girls act as receptionists and general information dispensers. As you may guess,they don't have many idle moments.

Seafaring Assembly ForemanCan't Lose with His Hobby

Here at Librascope we have a man who collects money. So whodoesn't, you ask? That's a hobby everybody tries to follow, in these daysof the vanishing dollar.

But this chap is different. He collects pennies, which to most of uswill only buy 12 minutes parking time or tell us we're 10 pounds over-weight, which we knew anyway.

This numismatist (coin collector to you unlettered laymen) isHerbert J. Darby, foreman in charge of Librascope Assembly. Herbcollects uncirculated mint copies of Lincoln-head pennies, a hobby heshares with two others in our "tribe"—Mildred Huggins and DorothyWillard.

Herb has mint copies of every year of the Lincoln penny issue,which began back in 1907 with the famous V.D.B. penny. The initialsstand for those of the coin's designer.

The preferred way of obtaining uncirculated mint coins, accordingto Herb, is to send to Washington for them. "In this way," he says,"a collector gets the best of the mint copies, which affects-their futurevalue."

In terms of company seniority Herb Darby stands far up on theroster. In fact, his serial is number six on the list. He started withLibrascope in the assembly department in August, 1941.

The assembly foreman wasn't always a landlubber, by any means.In 1928 he started service with the U.S. Merchant Marine, as a cabinboy. He worked his way up to a berth as chief mate, and before he leftthe sea had earned a coveted master's license and a pilot's license forsuch tricky navigational waters as Chesapeake Bay.

Herb might have returned to the sea, but the future Mrs .Darbydid a little persuading, he remained on land, and they were married in1939.

With all his experience with ships and sailing, he found it a trifledifficult getting a job on dry land. Eventually, however, he landed aposition with the Braun Chemical Company as stock boy. Later he gotinto instrument repair, which led directly to a position with Librascope.

Upon the suggestion of a salesman friend, Herb applied at Libra-scope and began as an assembler and inspector at a time when one ofour big projects was the aircraft wing load computer developed byLewis Imm.

While it is extremely doubtful if Herb will ever again ship out tosea, his love of wide open spaces is still with him. He is an experiencedand enthusisatic camper, and never turns down an opportunity to loadhis wife and two children into the car for a jaunt into the wilds.

The Darbys, in fact, seldom stop with taking their own children toenjoy nature's beauties. They usually also take along a couple ofneighbors' children. Once they took on a crew of 15 Campfire Girls andheaded for a weekend of hilarious camping. Herb probably never willforget this experience, but he hasn't tried it a second time, to anyone'sknowledge.

Herb is also famous with a limited group for his proficiency withthe ivory cubes. It is reported by the well known usually reliable sourcethat he nonchalantly rolled a four, then came back with a four "thehard way." Result—16 members of the Las Vegas Club were consider-ably wealthier, at least temporarily.

Active in company affairs, Herb is now serving as a member ofthe board of directors of the Credit Union, in which he is a strongbeliever.

To those of you who don't know Herb Darby, he's that tall gent inthe assembly office who is always buried in paper work or engaged ina work project conference. However, he's never too busy to say "hello"to his many friends at Librascope.

Three Back at Jobs Librascope "Gals" Steal ShowWith Some Real Fancy Curves

Some buttons were pushed, out tumbled a flock of pin-uptype gals, and another Librascope "instrument made head-lines last month.

It happened at the Eight National Instrument Society Ex-hibit at the Sherman Hotel in Chicago where Librascope's dis-play received considerable attention from ISA guests and from

Long illnesses ended last monthfor three assembly workers whowere welcomed back by theirfellow employees.

In response to the good wishesreceived while they were awayDick Albright, Ann Soper, andDoris Reay have sent the follow-ing open letters to their friends inthe plant:

"It is hard to find words to ade-quately express my warm feelingat being able to be back hereworking again. For six months allthought of work had to be dis-missed from my mind. It sure wasa banner day for me when I wasaccepted again. Now, at last, Iagain feel like the "Breadwinner"in the family.

"I have tried in the past to getacross to you my gratitude. Aftersix years of steady employmentand relationship with this out-standing company, you should beable to understand my gratefulfeelings for being amongst all youpeople again.

The Telethon for multiple scler-osis, televised August 29 and 30best explains the seriousness ofthis type of illness.

Dick Albright"It is wonderful being back

here at work again and to be wel-comed by so many friends in alldepartments. I was surprised andpleased with all the improvementsduring the past six months. Per-haps one of the greatest is the airconditioning."

Ann Soper"Coming back to work was like

coming back home after beinggone for quite a spell. I wish tothank all of you for everythingyou did!"

mentioned here. Why not post anotice on the Precisioneer bulletinboards and see if other employeesare also interested in your line?

Another way you can help is toadvise the Precisioneers of suchevents as births, deaths, illness,marriages and other vital statisticsin your department.

If you like to write, the com-pany newspaper, the Librazette, isalways looking for a helping hand.With a little investigation and ef-fort you can probably get on thenewspaper committee, if you sodesire.

Another of our activities is theCredit Union. Credit Union officersare elected annually and are re-sponsible for seeing that state lawsand Librascope Credit Union by-laws are effectively carried out.

Still another activity is the re-cently formed Aid Club. This is apayroll deduction plan for carry-ing out civic responsibilities. Theclub has a committee which iselected annually, and is respons-ible for allocating the funds toworthy charities and medical re-search.

If you remain with the organ-ization five years, you will beeligible to belong to the Libravets,an organization made up of em-ployees with five or more yearsof service. This club meets soci-ally, and is regarded as the back-bone of the Librascope work force.

The bathing beauties? Justdrawings reproduced by the plot-ter from numerical data. KeithKinnaird, publications, was de-sign engineer on the originalswhich were then taken over byJune Zembidge. She reduced thefigures (now ain't that just like awoman?) and Shelley Levin putthe stuff on IBM cards (whichshould prove something aboutmathematicians and IBM ma-chines.)

The cards were fed into theplotter's IBM converter and outcame some of the best plottedcurves an engineer has ever seen.

The 14 Librascope people whowere able to attend the exhibitall joined Wilbur Silvertooth, whowas in charge of our booth inChicago, in praising the tremen-dous effort that went into makingours an outstanding display.

In addition to the plotter weshowed our latest commercial in-struments, including the mechan-ical sine wave generator, an in-dustrial magnetic amplifier dis-play, the square root planimeter,the operational recorder and adisplay board of computer com-ponentism, both digital and an-alog. __^

If you are interested in improv-ing yourself through outside study,the training section can provideyou with a list of currently offeredextension courses in the area.

Officials in charge of these var-ious programs hope you will takeadvantage of them. All have acommon purpose—to make itmore pleasant for you to carryout your job duties, and to be-come real members of Librascope.

Leadmen, ForemenTaught to Instruct

Our leadmen and foremen arebrushing up their teaching skillsin weekly classes in job instructionbegun last month by the trainingsection.

The course is based on one de-veloped by the War ManpowerCommission and used throughoutthe country to train oyer a millionsupervisors. In addition, latestteaching methods used by post-war industry have been included.

"It has been estimated that sup-ervisors spends as much as halfof their time in job instruction,consequently any improvement ininstruction techniques should re-sult in a saving of time," DickBartlett, of training section point-ed out.

Topics covered in the course in-cluded: How to Get Ready to In-struct, How to Instruct, How toFollow up Instruction, and a re-view of the Four Basic LearningStops.

The classes are designed to in-crease ability in the three basicprocesses of job instruction: tell-ing trainees what to do, showingthem how to do it, and coachingthem, if necessary, while they dothe job under supervision.

"Use of proper instruction tech-niques and proceedures will re-sult in a saving of time and an in-crease in efficiency. Since instruc-tion is a continuous process in ourplant it is important that our lead-men and foremen be familiar withthe best practical and proven met-hods of instructing our employ-ees," Bartlett said.

Sports Car EventThe newly organized club for

sports car fans and drivers atLibrascope has announced it willhold a "poker rally" on Sunday,October 18.

Everybody LosesOn Missing Books

It's pretty easy to abuse a gooddeal to the extent where it nolonger becomes a good deal. Kill-ing the goose that has been layingthe golden eggs doesn't help eitherthe goose or the slayer.

In other words, let's start re-turning the books that have beenborrowed from the Precisioneer'slibrary. Or else, pretty soon therewon't be a library.

Do you know that the Precision-eers spend approximately $10 to$15 a month to make sure yourlibrary is stocked with the latestand best books?

Do you know that these books,which rent at five cents for sevendays, usually rent at 10 cents forthree days at other libraries?

Do you realize that other em-ployees are anxious to read thebooks you have neither checkedout nor returned?

These books must be checkedout regardless of where read.Please cooperate by returning anybooks you have that may belong tothe Precisioneer's library.

Here are only a few of the booksthe library would like to see re-turned: The Silver Chalice, (twocopies) The Great Change, TheCaine Mutiny, My Cousin Rachel,The Book of Etiquette and TheBook of Home Decoration.
