Credit Union Streamlines Bookkeeping

BY JERRY GROUX With the installation of a new accounting machine, Credit

Union bookkeeping has taken on a new look. Statements will no longer be handwritten as in the past, but will be printed on the new machine.

With the new system every transaction will be itemized and statements will be up to date within two weeks of their issuance. Statements are issued every three months.

To serve members more fully, LeNola Williams has been employed as a full-time bookkeeping assistant. This will allow the credit committee and Secretary Niki Cramer more time to counsel members who need help with financial problems.

All Fairchild employees are eligible for membership in the Credit Union. Applications and information may be obtained at the Credit Union office, located near the cafeteria, or from any member of the Board of Directors.

The office is open from 11 a.m. to noon and 1 to 3 p.m. Mondays and Tuesdays; 11 a.m. to noon and 3 to 5 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays. The office is closed all day Wednesday.

Members of the Board of Directors are Bill Stansbury and Jerry Groux, Industrial Engineering; Joe McCoy, Manufac- turing; Gheen Abbott, Materials; Norma Wyllie, Industrial Re- lations; Judy Dunkelberger and Dottie Philpott, Micrologic; Niki Cramer, Credit Union; Sheila Tondreau, Applications.

FARINA REPORTS ON EUROPEAN MARKET

Don Farina, Member of the Technical Staff at Research and Development, recently returned from a month in Eu- rope where he conferred with Societa Generale Semicon- duttori on Micrologic and with prospective users of Miao- logic in Europe.

Farina's itinerary took him to Sweden, Germany, Eng- land, France, Switzerland and Italy. En route he visited more than 2 0 European electronics firms.

Don was highly impressed with the technical competence and interest in integrated circuits he observed throughout the continent. The following is a report he wrote for LEADWIRE dealing with his observations of the component market in Europe.

"I found the technical competence to be very high every- where. The engineers certainly have been reading Amer- ican literature and are right up-to-date on integrated cir- cuits. The questions asked about Micrologic were not the typical survey type, but were direct and pointed to specific applications.

"Europe is experiencing an electronic 'revolution', par- ticularly in the relatively new computer field. Until re- cently, U. S. computer equipment dominated the Euro- pean market, but Olivettl, Farranti, and other manufac- turers are getting into this business. In a recent issue of DATAMATION it was forecast by Auerbach Research that the computer market in Europe will increase 5095% per year. It is already $100 million in West Germany alone. The market is expected to 'ex ience as much as 5-10 fold in- crease over the next d e c a g

"With the Common Market beginning to show its vir- tues, and with more and more em hasis among European countries to compete in this mar e et (or at least be self- sufficient in electronics), there is a great move toward building their own computers and hence buying less from the U. S. However, to accomplish this quickly European computer manufacturers must buy more components from abroad since it is in this field that Europe is weakest.

"Since most computer groups in Europe are new they do not have in-house 'off the shelf' logic circuit modules at their disposal. Hence, rather than waste time going from germanium to silicon transistor circuit design they are very carefully examining the integrated circuit as a means to jump competition and roll out computers in a hurry.

"Although a very conservative people historically, Euro- peans see this economic and industrial revolution clearly and they all want to be first. Evidence the fact that Micro- logic is already designed into working equipment at SAAB and General Telephone Co., in Sweden, Crouzet in France, and Telettra in Italy."

FROM THE EDITOR FCI ANNOUNCES FIGURES FOR THIRD QUARTER SALES

A hearty round of congratulations all around is in order now that the United Fund is past. Not all the figures are avail- able yet from Maine, but United Funds in the San Francisco area did well at Fairchild.

Peninsula plant employees donated a whopping $13,350 to the drive, a slight dip from last year, but an impressive figure nevertheless. Diode is this year's area donating champion. With only about 600 employees, the Marin plant tossed $5,000 in the kitty, an increase of about 13 per cent over last year. The company, as usual, will match both figures.

Now employees are being asked to give again, this time blood, instead of money. Peninsula and Marin plants are holding their periodic blood drives to bolster the company blood bank. Don't shy away from this one. You won't really be giving the blood away, just lending it. If you (or any member of your family) ever needs it, it will be there for your use, any type, FREE. It's sound insurance, Give Blood.

Speaking of blood drives, one of Fair- child's biggest boosters of same has to be Diode Purchasing Agent John Nash, ac- cording to this "hair-raising" tale relayed to us by reporter Paul "Front Page" Kent.

A year ago, John had open heart sur- gery which required 14 pints of blood from the Fairchild Blood Bank. That the operation was a success and that John is healthy today is incidental. But get this. The operation and the new blood im- proved the circulation to John's head, and he is now sprouting new locks on his familiar bald top . . . well, that's what Patcl told us.

NEGOTIATORS SET MEETING FOR 'FUN FLITE' DATA

MOUNTAIN VIEW-A representative of Trans World Airlines will be present Tuesday (Dec. 3) from 11 :45 a.m. to 1 : 15 p.m. in the large conference room of the Transistor plant to answer questions regarding the 1964 World's Fair "Fun Flite."

SYOSSET, L.I., NEW YORK - Operating results for the third quarter and for the nine months period ending September 30, 1963 were announced recently by John Carter, Chairman of the Board of Fair- child Camera and Instrument Corpora- tion. Per share earnings are based on the 2,535,583 shares outstanding on Septem- ber 30, 1963.

THIRD QUARTER 1963 1962 Sales .................... $28,599,000 $24,142,000 Profit from

Operations ...... 1,052,000 914,000 wr share ...... .41 .36

Tax Credit .......... 178,000 478,000 per share ...... .07 .I9

Total Earnings .... 1,230,000 1,392,000 per share ...... .4 8 .55

NINE MONTHS Sales .................... $85,384,000 673;628,000 Profit from

Operations ...... 1,347,000 3,308,000 pet share ...... .53 1.30

Tax Credit .......... 534,000 928,000 per share ...... .2 1 .37

Total Earnings .... 1,881,000 4,236,000 per share ...... .74 1.67

Commenting on third quarter results, Mr. Carter pointed out that sales were up 18.5 percent over third quarter in 1962 and operating profits increased 15.1 per- cent over the same period a year ago. Total earnings for the quarter decreased, he said, because in 1962 the Company utilized $478,000, or 99.19 per share, of Du Mont tax credit, while only $178,000, or $07 per share, was utilized in third quarter 1963.

Mr. Carter added that while there con- tinued to be a lag in defense procurement during third quarter, he foresaw a sig- nificant increase in backlog, due mainly to new Space and Defense System Divi- sion bookings, during fourth quarter.

New orders booked amounted to $85,- 278,000, for the nine months, as com- pared with $81,298,000, for the same period in 1962, an increase of 4.9 percent.

Backlog as of September 30, 1963 was $40,337,000 versus $37,027,000 on the same date in 1962, an 8.9 percent increase.

Overall company-sponsored research and development has been running at the rate of 44 percent above that of 1962, result- ing in nine-month expenditures of $7,- 293,000 versus $5,060,000 for the same period in 1962.

Mr. Carter said that he felt that third quarter operating results were indicative of the fact that the Company has resumed its growth pattern after the heavy first- half expenditures which adversely affected earnings during the first six months, and that the outlook for fourth quarter was for continuing increases in sales and profit- ability, probably resulting in the best quarter in the Company's 44-year history.
