Early Settliement ,onNew Labor Contract

(GLENDALE) An unprecedented tendays before expiration of the old con­tract, management and union negotiatingteams brought in a new labor contractbetween Librascope's Surface EquipmentDivision and the production and mainte­nance employees represented by the Inter­national Association of Machinists.

The early settlement, hailed by bothcompany and union spokesmen as a"realistic and satisfactory agreement",was concluded August 20, and ratified bythe union membership at a special meet­ing held August 23.

The new contract, which went into ef­fect August 31, will cover company-unionrelations for the next two and one halfyears.

Significant new provisions include:• A 3% general wage increase for

the first year of the contract, a 2112 % in­crease during the second, and a 11/2%increase covering the final six months;

• An additional half - day holiday,bringing the total paid holidays to eight;

• Formation of a joint company-unioncommittee to handle disputes concerning

- Libravet Party -

For 40 new ten-year Libravets,five 15-year veterans and one 25­year celebrant, Saturday evening,October 17, is their special night ofhonor. It is the date set for theannual Libravet dinner party to beheld in the Versailles Room ofPike's Verdugo Oaks in Glendale.

In addition to the usual invita­tions sent to Libravets with 15 ormore years of service, a specialwelcome has been extended to 1964retirees who have ten or moreyears of Librascope service.

The gala affair gets underwaywith a cocktail party at 6:00, din­ner at 7 :00, and dancing from 9 :00to 1 :00.

Purpose of the study is to identifybasic causes of failure that occur in inte­grated circuits as a function of stresslevels, material and process controls,Meyer told LIBRAZETTE.

Dr. John Salzer, Director of the R&SCenter, has assigned Dr. Richard Fuller,Dr. Peter Gottlieb and Dr. Herman Graffto develop the "failure model" and toconduct the failure analysis effort.

The study will determine the physicalnature of the failures provoked under spe­cific environmental conditions and developmethods to test for these failure mecha­nisms. Stress tests will be performed ona "sizable number of devices," Meyersaid.

A thoroughgoing review of the state­of-the-art in microelectronics is an im­portant part of the first-phase studyeffort.

$90~OOONASA Test StudyAwarded to SED Reliability

(WASHINGTON) Librascope has been awarded a $90,000 contractby NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) head­quarters here, to make a first-phase reliability study of delicate micro­electronic devices used in ground-based equipment for present and futurespace-probe vehicles.

Award of the contract came throughNASA's Office of Advanced Research andTechnology, following a proposal madeby the Reliability section of SED'sProduct Assurance Dept.

The contract was negotiated by J. A.Reyes, Librascope Washington market­ing consultant and Norman Marti, Man­ager, Technical Marketing, with assist­ance from Paul Hoover of SED Contractsadministration.

The exhaustive study called for in theNASA contract will be conducted bySED's Reliability Assurance section, withassistance from staff members of Libra­scope's Research and Systems Center.

Herbert Meyer, Manager of ReliabilityAssurance, is the "Principal Investiga­tor" (Program Manager); Staff Engi­neer Marvin Carpenter is "Chief Partic­ipant" (Project Engineer).

"The descriptive title of the work wewill perform is "A Study of the Physicsof Failure and Reliability in Microelec­tronic Devices," Meyer said.

"One Gift Works Many Wonders"Next month, at the Aid Club election, "'\ve at Librascope have a

chance to make our dollars stretch farther than ever before.By earmarking part of our payroll d~ductions for the United

Crusade, we can help more than 300 organizations in Los AngelesCounty-organizations that work for us by helping people in ourhome communities.

Among those 300-plus groups are such familiar names asSalvation Army, YMCA, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Campfire Girls,Catholic Youth Organization, Family Service, the Boys Clubs, BigBrother, Children's Hospital, Orthopaedic Hospital, Legal AidSociety, USO, Travelers Aid Society-and many, many more.

Our money will go farther because, by combining their fund­raising efforts, the job can be done at less cost than ever before.It makes good sense, to "give once, for all.",

(LOS ANGELES) For the next sixweeks Dallas Martin, member of SEDFinance Manager Jim Cronk's staff, willbe on "vacation" from his post at Libra­

working in behalf of all of us, as a mem­ber of the United Crusade, whose driveto raise $20,000,000 for community andcounty-wide welfare groups has just got­ten under way. Martin is one of a smallarmy of "loaned executives" from LosAngeles area business, whose talents arebeing lent by their employers to aid theoperation of the fund-raising campaign.

U sing their professional and extra­curricular skills (Martin has a back­ground in vocational guidance, as wellas finance), the "loaned executives" ex­plain the workings and services of thegroups which United Crusade supports,to business organizations and emnloyeegroups such as Librascope's Aid Club­and solicit their financial help.

Close Tab KeptOn Moving Costs

Librascope's moving operation fromRodier Drive to the Western Avenue­Sonora Street area', is a tightly-budgetedoperation, in which every penny of esti­mated cost has been carefully figured,but the total cost, nonetheless, representsa considerable sum of money.

Material used in remodeling and alter­ing existing space to provide proper facil­ities for new users will run $38,000; sub­contracting costs for masonry, new con­crete, plumbing and special waste han­dling facilities and the moving of delicateequipment, will total $49,500.

In addition, Plant Engineering SupvrPete Lauridsen has budgeted 10,850 man­hours of work by Librascope's own main­tenance people, carpenters, plumbers andelectricians.

Now installed in Bldg 17 are Opera­tions Manager Harlan Buseth and hisstaff, Operations Planning Manager O. S.Dwire and the functions reporting tohim and the Purchasing Dept.

Also moved to Bldg 17 are ProductionSuperintendent Lloyd Somerfield and theProduction Control Dept headed byCharley Cole.

Portions of Bldg 1 and 2 have been re­modeled to provide room for various en­gineering support functions. Reliabilitywill shift from Bldg 5 to Bldg 1 shortly,following which alterations will be madein Bldg 5 to house the Mark 48 program,now in Bldg 11.

Such support functions as the PhotoLab, Spares Provisioning, Customer Serv­ice, Field Service and Publications, allparts of Logistics, will move from Bldg7 to Bldg 2, as will Blueprint Repro­duction, the Technical Library and Stand­ards from Bldg 16. Group Reproduction,now in Bldg 15, also will shift to Bldg 2.

All moves are expected to be completedby early January.

New labor Contract(Continued from Page 1)

adequacy of new job descriptions and/orrates; if no agreement is reached in com­mittee, the ma,tter is then referred to theSED Operations Manager and the UnionBusiness Representative for final disposi­tion;

• An elevation in labor grade for cer­tain job classifications;

• Inclusion of shift differential pay­ment for vacations and paid holidays.

Discussing the new contract, SED Op­erations Manager Harlan Buseth, whoheaded the company negotiating team,told LIBRAZETTE:

"Both sides bargained hard, and right­fully so. But at the same time there wasa mutual understanding and a genuineeffort by both parties to attain workablesolutions to whatever problems existed.It was an intelligent, practical bargain­ing session and the result was a contractsatisfactory to both sides."

Seconding the satisfaction of the unionmembership, was lAM business repre­sentative Charles Weitzeil, who headenthe union negotiating team.

"We are pleased with the new contractand I am sure the company must feel thesame. Whenever negotiations are con­ducted in a spirit of harmony and coopercation, the final outcome is a contractwhich can be endorsed by both labor annmanagement."

There are some things which cannot beleamed quickly, and time, which is all wehave, must be paid heavily for their ac­quiring, They are the very simplest thingsand because it takes a man's life to knowthem the little that each man gets fromlife is very costly and the only heritagehe has to leave. - Emest Hemingway.
