Contract Award

Librascope to ProvideBubble Memories ForPeacekeeper Program

The Company has been awarded a $4.3 million contract bythe GTE Government Systems Corporation, StrategicSystems Division, to provide Militarized Mass Bubble MemorySystems for the Peacekeeper Program.

GTE's Strategic Systems Division in Westborough, Mass,is the prime contractor to the U. S. Air Force Ballistic MissileOffice for the Peacekeeper command, control, and com-munications system in which the bubble memory systemswill be used. The Air Force will use the bubble memories inboth ground and air applications.

The solid state bubble memory product has evolved fromLibrascope's experience in militarizing bubble memories foruse in its Cl. S. Army C3 equipment. Librascope has hadlong-term experience in producing militarized mass memoriesin various forms.

Since the mid-1950's, the Company has been a supplier ofrotating magnetic disc memories to the Cl. S. Governmentand OEM's (Original Equipment Manufacturers).

"The state-of-art in computers and computer peripheralshas moved very rapidly in recent years," said Robert Fuchiek,Director Computer Products. "The Magnetic Bubble Memory,a solid state device (as opposed to the electro-mechanicaldisc memory) has matured to the state where it is beginningto proliferate from personal computers to satellites in space.It is a natural follow-on to many types of memory devices, oneof which is the Librascope rotating disc memory."

The Librascope Magnetic Bubble Memory — The Company'sexperience in packaging bubble memories for use inmilitary applications has been gained through communica-tions programs developed by Librascope for the Army. TheCommunications Terminal AN/C1GC-137, the TacticalComputer System, TCS, and the Communications ControlSystem, CSC, developed by Librascope for the Cl. S. Army,make use of the bubble memories.

"WHERES THE PICNIC?"A number of employees have

asked that the Company againhave a family picnic similar tothose held in past years atSoledad Sands and Pickwick.The Company's decision to addtheme parks such as Disneylandand Knotts for our family outingswas to provide some variety tothe outing and to meet theinterests of other segments of theemployee population and hope-fully, to broaden our attendance.In addition, the cost and avail-ability of picnic sites sufficient toaccommodate our increasedpopulation were becoming aproblem.

The attendance at our FamilyFun Day at Disneyland last yearujasalmosta 100% increase overthe attendance of our last familypicnic and we therefore believewe have succeeded in satisfyingthe interest of a greater proportionof the employee and retireepopulation. We hope to have aneven bigger turnout at our up-coming private party at Knotts.

Twice during the year Libra-scope employees are asked togive something more preciousthan their money . . . they'reasked to give their blood.

"These drives, held in Mayand October, have becomerather customary here at Libra-scope, said Anita Hagan. Com-pany Nurse. "But. we must neverlose touch with the main purposeand necessity for the drives, andthat is to collect blood so thatothers may live."

Blood drives held every day inalmost every city in the UnitedStates are vitally important tothose thousands of persons whowill need blood to survive. Noone ever knows when that personmay be themselves or a familymember.

Our hats off to the 78 em-ployees who gave at the May

blood drive! The next LibrascopeBlood Drive is scheduled forFriday, October 26. Blood donorcards will be distributed to allemployees. Anyone who wouldlike to donate blood before thencan make an appointment bycalling the American Red Crossoffice in their area.

Librascope Receives Award

Librascope has received an appreciation award from Cal StateUniversity at Northridge for the Company's 4th year of participationin the University's "Women in Engineering Career FacilitationProject." The sponsorship program assists women enrolled in thescience and engineering program at CSUN, with financial aid andpart-time employment by participating local companies.

Shown with the award is Jackie Jones, center, Manager, EEO &Training, along with recent graduates of the program, nowemployed as full-time associate engineers at Librascope, MariaDietl, left, and Avima Yaffee.

Under the program, the Company has sponsored a total of 7female engineers and/or programmers who are currently employedat Librascope.

Librascope at Navy Expo

Ken Luther, Mgr., Public Rela-tions & Advertising, "polishes-up" the Librascope display whichfeatures submarine models in awater-like setting, along withpictures displaying Librascopeproducts in other naval areas.The display was presented atthe annual Navy League Exposi-tion held at the Sheraton-Wash-ington Hotel in Washington, D.C.

"The Company has partici-pated in the annual Navy leagueExposition for the past 15 years,"said Luther. "The expositionprovides an excellent forum forLibrascope personnel to meetNaval personnel in our area ofbusiness."

A Blizzardin July?

Trucks have been deliveringso many tons of copier paper toreplenish Company stocks thata survey was made of the rate ofcopies run at specific self-servicecopier locations throughoutLibrascope. The results areworth summarizing here.

The average number of self-service copies run off peremployee is currently 214 permonth — resulting in a blizzardof about 333,000 such copiesbeing run at all locations com-bined during an average month.This figure is particularly inter-esting when one considers thatalthough our headcount hasincreased 63% since 1980, theaverage number of self-servicecopies run per individual hasincreased 155% since 1980. Thismeans that the perceived needto run more copies has beenincreasing steadily.

Self-service copies serve avital need and will continue todo so. Users might give someadditional thought, however, tothe following factors:

• More copies distributedrequire more busy peopleto spend more time reading.

• More copies distributedmean more people retainingand filing the copies in morefile folders and file drawers.

• More copies mean more ofthe originator's time spentin copying, addressing, andmailing.

• More copies mean highercopying machine and papercosts.

Are you sure all those copiesare necessary?

Savings BondDrive Attracts76 New Savers

Seventy six new savers wereadded to the Savings Bond Pro-gram during the Company'syearly Bond Drive held lastmonth. This brings the totalnumber of Savings Bond partici-pants to 427, or 27% of the totalwork force at Librascope.

Forty two employees in-creased their weekly savingsduring the drive.

"The Savings Bond Programnow offers a new variable ratefor savers," said Victor Riehl,Legal Counsel and Chairman ofthe Librascope Bond Drive."Under the new variable rate,the U. S. Treasury now compilesthe average market interest rateevery six months on all Treasurymarketable securities and estab-lishes the rate on new SavingsBonds for the following sixmonths at 85% of that marketaverage. Regardless of how highmarket rates go, Savings Bondswill earn 85% of the averageyield with a guaranteed mini-mum rate of 7.5% to protectbuyers against steep declines inmarket rates.

"Employees who wish to jointhe payroll savings plan, can doso by calling the Payroll Depart-ment, x-1701."

Employee participation in theSavings Bond Program bydepartments (after the drive) isas follows:

Administration — 27%Engineering — 29%Manufacturing — 25%Product Assurance — 24%Logistics — 32%

Note: Manufacturing had thehighest number of new sign-ups during the drive.

How Do YOU Look Today?

How NOT to look at Librascope!

Once again, as the hot weatherdescends upon us, it is importantfor employees to remember justwhat is and what is not appro-priate dress for work. "With theonset of summer we are begin-ning to see examples of unsuit-able work clothing, among bothmale and female employees atLibrascope," said Frank Yapp,Vice President, Personnel &Organization.

"Apparel which belongs onlyin the backyard, at the beach, orat a party, are not appropriatebusiness apparel at Librascope.Shorts, knickers, thongs, tanktops, halter tops, spaghetti-strapdresses, backless, strapless,see-through apparel, are not

appropriate daytime businessapparel at Librascope. In in-stances where an employee isinappropriately dressed, theemployee may be sent home tochange into more suitableclothing.

"It is our view that the Com-pany has the right to requireemployees to maintain reason-able job-related standards ofdress (in keeping with workareas) and grooming in order topromote legitimate businessneeds. Inappropriate dress orgrooming may compromiserelations with other employeesor with our customers, or mayinvolve questions of safety orhealth.

Overexertion can be harmful.Muscles given only 24 hoursrest between strenuous sessions(biking, hiking, swimming, etc.),can be seriously strained. Restthem 48 hours. Stop exercisingwhen your body tells you to, orwhen you feel tired.A "Vacationer's Cocktail"

Sometimes traveling can bringon traveler's diarrhea. This no-fail recipe, suggested by Dr.David Sack, associate professorof medicine at Johns Hopkins,replaces fluids and electrolyteslost and prevents dehydration.Mix half a teaspoon of salt, half ateaspoon of sodium bicarbonate(baking soda) and four table-spoons of sugar into a liter ofwater (33.8 oz.). Drink until nolonger thirsty.First Aid Kit

Minor vacation ailments canbe taken care of if you areprepared. Take along:

• Band-Aids• Cotton• Gauze Pads• Adhesive Tape & Scissors• Tweezers• A Thermometer• Sunscreen Lotion• Insect Repellent• Aspirin or Acetaminophen• Cold Medication• An Antimicrobial Skin
