We have digitized and added a new film to our Video Gallery - The Sounds Of Progress.
The first three minutes of the film is an introduction highlighting the sounds of capabilities of the Fabrication and Molding Division.

F & M produced plastic, metal, andd ceramic parts, and etched circuit boards. Their cababilities consisted of plastic and ceramic molding, electro-chemical including plating, etching and milling, and precision, front panel, and metal fabrication. They also did complete manufacturing of oscilloscope cameras and Scope-Mobiles. The movie is a great watch.

Last month we highlighted a photo of an early automated test system. We only had identified one individual in the photo, and thanks to our readers, we know that identification was wrong and we believe we have identified all the individuals. Take a look at the photos on our Semiconductor Test Systems page for our identification and some great photos of these extensive instruments.
