Ryder,McAboy,Perry Cop Golf TrophiesOne of the largest and fastest

fields in Company history teed offfor the Eighth Annual LibrascopeGolf Tournament Sunday, July 22,at the Fox Hills Country Club.

By the time the last divot hadbeen taken and the last putt holedout, Tom Ryder, inspection, haddemonstrated that a good littleman can beat some good big men.

Tom, playing unspectacular butconsistent golf, would up with anet 62 to nose out Charlie Snavely,

estimating, by a single stroke forthe President's Cup.

McAboy Was HotBill McAboy, engineering, blis-

tered the back nine with a 2-overpar 37. Coupled with a front side44, his 81 gross brought him homea stroke in front of Ed Sullivanand gave Bill the low gross trophy.

Jack Perry, tool design, won theWhiffer's Trophy for the 36-handi-cap players with a score of 102.

The Blind Bogey winners was

Ross Hazel tine, model shop, whowon out over four others on amatched card basis.

The Burbank Division trophywas carted home by Don Slagle.He shot a 102-34 for a 68 net.

These were the big winners, butno one went home a loser. Thecontributions of the Precisioneersand the diligent work of MarshCowan, Wally Jobe and the Pur-chasing Department resulted inone of the finest collection of

prizes we have ever seen.Culver Pokes It

Carl Culver, wiring, first man totee off on the 10th hole, didn'twaste any time in wrapping up thelongest drive prize. He blasted onestraight down the middle thatwound up a good 265 yards fromthe tee.

George Seevers, patent attorney,had the dubious distinction ofholding the best poker hand whenhis card showed five straight 7's.

Johnny Grieshaber, contracts, wasawarded a special consolationprize by Ted Lassagne, legal coun-sel, for conduct above and beyond.

Special prize winners (one golfball each) included Bob Sommer-ville, engineering, named best-dressed golfer; Bob Gorman, oper-ations analysis, snake killingestgolfer; Joe Mesch, personnel, luck-iest golfer; and Art Curley, time-keeping, noisiest golfer.

First LGP-30 ProgrammingSchool for Customers Held

A dozen representatives of companies who have purchasedLibrascope's LPG-30 general purpose computers attended theinitial customer training school for LPG-30 programmers hereJuly 16-27.

The school, first of a series designed to instruct customerpersonnel in the use and operation of the LPG-30, was underthe direction of Fred Flannell, LPG-30 applications engineerwho was recently named assistantsales manager for the computer inthe Royal-McBee organization.

Learning: the RopesThe neophyte programmers from

Convair's Pomona and San Diegodivisions, Link Aviation, the Na-tional Security Agency and Cal-tech met the first week with Fred,Bud Hazlett and Jim Cass, whointroduced them to the theory andtechniques of LPG-30 program-ming. During the second week, theclass members received individualinstruction from Fred and Bud andtried their hand at programmingthe computer.

Once their firms have receivedcomputers (now in production atour Burbank division) these peo-ple will put what they havelearned to good use.

One firm will use its machine tocompute calibration curves for usein inspecting transducers; a sec-ond, for photo reconnaissance datareduction; a third, for ?.nalog de-sign work; a fourth, for basic com-puter research.

LPG-30 a Useful ToolOther firms, not represented at

this first school but who haveordered LPG-30s, will use ourcomputers to replace existing

analog equipment for solving dif-ferential equations and for use ininterior and exterior missile bal-listic studies.

Present plans call for holdingboth programming and mainte-nance training schools for custo-mers at Librascope until personneland facilities are available in theregional offices that Royal-McBeewill establish.

The first maintenance school,conducted by Bill Chase, was heldAug. 6-17.

Teachers, AllUntil such time as schools can

be set up in other locales, Fredand his fellow applications engi-neers, Bud Hazlett, Jack Behr andMel Kaye, will probably handlethe job of training customer per-sonnel in the art of LPG-30 pro-gramming.

As announced in the July Libra-zette, these men have all beentransferred to the Royal-MsBeepayroll.

Hazlett, Behr and Kaye willform the nucleus of a program-ming group that will be located inthe Los Angeles area. These menwill serve the applications engi-

Summer Dance Leaves Fond MemoriesAn estimated 150 Librascope couples had themselves quite a ball Saturday night, July 14.

The occasion was the annual Precisioneer-sponsored Summer Dance. Oakmont Club was thesite.

From the opening bars of "Street Where You Live" to the closing strains of "Goodnight,Sweetheart," the fortunate couples present enjoyed themselves to the hilt.

The music of Earle Evans and his crew was that 'makes you want to dance' type andeveryone present did.

Judging from comments heard both during the dance and later, it was evident that peoplefelt this to be one of the best dances ever held by the Precisioneers.

Bill Greer, Precisioneer president, and his dance committee were so pleased with the turn-out that they are thinking of holding another dance at the same site sometime in October.

SUMMER SOUVENIRS

Doughty AnglersSay Muddy WatersMake Suds a Must

A bunch of the boys whooped itup but good along the banks of theKern river a couple of weeks ago.

Officially billed as a fishing trip,the excursion more closely re-sembled a brewer's convention ac-cording to a reliable observer.

Seven expert Librascope baitcasters made the memorable jauntand wound up with a total of eightfish. The reason for the slim catchwas plain, they say. Muddy water.Man couldn't drink it and the fishcouldn't see the bait.

Those present included ChuckBaumgard, Val Castle, Jim Simonand Ed Warren, engineering, andBill Bell, Art Bevan and Don Bour-quin, accounting.

Bill Bell hooked the first andlargest fish caught — a rainbowtrout that had escaped the lines ofthree fisherman, including ChuckBaumgard's, until Bill battled it tosubmission.

Val Castle, Don Bourquin andJim Simon also landed a couple ofspecimens of an unspecified na-ture. Remainder of the crew had afine time wetting their lines andtheir whistles.

The fishing was lousy but theyhad so much fun, the group hasscheduled another outing for earlySeptember. Local of the affair willbe Dinky creek, west of the HighSierras in the Porterville area.

Friends HonorPhyl Cooper atFarewell Party

One of our pages is missing. Itdisappeared when one of our fav-orite girls, Phyllis Cooper, closedthe book on eight years of Libra-scope employment and retired tobe a homemaker.

Many of you may not haveknown Phyl by sight, but we'resure that all of you have heard hermelodious voice over our P.A. sys-tem as she summoned wanderingemployes to the telephone. Thevoice is gone, but the memorylingers on.

Prior to Phyl's termination, hermany friends threw a little thingfor her, complete with cake andtrimmings, in the engineering con-ference room. They also presentedher with a beautiful wrist watch.

In addition to her homemakingduties, Phyl, along with her hus-band, will assume parental re-sponsibilities when adoption pro-ceedings they have started arecompleted.

We are joining with Phyl Coop-er's legion of friends in wishingher the best of luck and happi-ness in her new career.

Lee Duggan Places FirstIn Photographic Exhibit

Steichen . . . Mortensen . . . Wegee . . . move over! You havecompany—our demon plant photographer, Lee Duggan.

After 10 years of shutter clicking and print dunking, Lee de-cided he'd hang a couple of his creations at a local print exhibit.Like the rookie who hits a homerun his first time at bat, Leescored, too. Lee entered prints in the still life and industrialclassifications in the June exhibitof the Professional PhotographersAssociation of Southern California.

Lee Scores A DoubleWhen judging of the more than

60 entries submitted by 30 South-ern California professional photog-raphers was completed, Lee's stilllife entry (of a Librascope mag-netic drum assembly) was a blueribbon winner — and his industrialentry took the gold ribbon as "bestof show."

Lee has been the Librascopeplant photographer for all but thefirst few months of his five yearshere. In that period his camera hascaught and recorded the people,the equipment and the facilities,the products, and the events thatare Librascope.

It's in the FilesHe may have forgotten a few of

the dozens of company products,personalities and events that havepassed before his lenses, but thebulging photo files in Publicationsform a permanent record of hisefforts.

Lee is a Californian to the core.Born in Eagle Rock, reared in VanNuys, he now lives with his wifeand three daughters in La Cres-centa.

A World War II veteran, Leesaw action at Pearl Harbor onDec. 7, 1941. He was a gunner'smate on the USS Pennsylvania,then in dry dock, and was stand-ing deck watch that fateful Sundaymorning.

Lots of Sea DutyLee served on the Pennsylvania

for the first year and a half of theWar, then was transferred to atanker on the Atlantic run. Aftera year of tanker duty, he moved toa destroyer and served out the re-mainder of the War in the centralPacific.

Following the War Lee, alongwith several thousand other GI's,took up photography. Unlike mostof the rest, Lee did somethingwith it.

Secure in the knowledge that hiswork can more than hold its ownwith his fellow professionals, Leeis planning to submit entries infuture photographic shows. Havingworked with Lee these past twoyears, we're certain that theseinitial ribbons of his are but thefirst of many he will acquire inthe years ahead.

Here's SomethingFor Hi-Fi Fans

Hi-fi enthusiasts are offered anew and compact device for re-moving recorded and undesirablesignals from entire reels of mag-netic tape in a matter of seconds.

Produced by Librascope's Bur-bank Division, the attractivelypackaged "Npiseraser" is anotherin the Division's series of bulkmagnetic tape degaussers and isdesigned specifically for Hi-fi en-thusiasts.

Known as the N-HF, the newdevice contains a powerful mag-netic circuit designed to removesignals 4-6 decibels below stand-ard erase head level of demag-netization.

The "Noiseraser" is recom-mended for use with %-inch mag-netic tape on reels up to 10%inches in diameter and operatesfrom the ordinary AC convenienceoutlet.

Mild-tempered Forrie McColl,adjusting, was an easy winner inthe club throwing bracket, andHoward Miller, production control,qualified as the golfer with thegreatest opportunity for improve-ment.

Wandering around the 19th holeas the golfers straggled in, wepicked up some rare comments.

"Man, if I just hadn't four-putted that thirteenth green, I'dhave been right up there battlingfor first place."

"What a lie I had on that thirdhole. Only fifteen feet off thegreen with my second, but thatgrass must have been three feethigh. Took a lousy eight..."

Alibis Galore"I never saw such blankety-

blank green's in all my life."The bulk of the comment, how-

ever, was reserved for the littletrek between the llth green andthe 12th tee. None of it, unfor-tunately, is printable.

By this time, we're certain thatmost of the Librascope must feelthe 80 golfers who competed inthe tournament must all have beenvictims of incredibly bad luck, in-competent greenskeepers, or phonyhandicaps.

Following the dinner, trophypresentation and awarding ofprizes, Ed Sullivan, 1956 golfchairman, conducted the Calcuttaauction.

finishers in the tournament in 18-hole match play to determine theCalcutta trophy winner. Lastyear's winner, Wally Jobe, Bur-bank division, is a competitoragain, as is that perennial winner,Bill McAboy.
