Reviewing Argus Progress

The Argus Annual Report, which was mailed to your home, shows that the fiscal year just ended on July 31, was a successful one. One of the most important things shown by this report is that the Company has been steadily gaining greater stability, and the foundation on which the Company is built is becoming stronger. This is of particular importánce to all of us as employees because it is the best guarantee of steady jobs. We are now three months into the new fiscal year, and the monthly sales so far are higher than last year. The demand for our products still exceeds our production rate. As a matter of fact, the Sales Department reports that all the cameras and projectors we can produce up to Christmas, and to some extent beyond, are already sold. Based on present indications, there is every reason to feel that this year should also be a good one. Our Military business is resolving itself to a fairly steady basis. The Government is pursuing a policy of stretching out Military contracts so that the heavy peak is removed and the rate of production is steadier. This is an advantage to us, because it assures us of Military production for a longer period. It now appears that it will carry over at least until 1954. The Sales Department is following a program of developing new outlets in the retail field for our products. The Argus 75 camera provides an excellent means for doing this, because it lends itself to the requirements of Drug Stores and other outlets where more expensive cameras are not usually sold. This program should help us maintain a substantial volume of sales for the 75, and it would also have some effect on the other cameras in the middle price bracket. c4 NQW WELL ESTABLISHED

I have heard a number of people ask, MWhy do we continue the C4 camera when it appears to have so many complications?" The assumption on the part of these people appears to be that the C4 is not profitable. This is far from the truth because the C4 is already earning a normal rate of profit, and nearly all of the problems that we are currently having in the manufacture of this camera are brought about by our long range plan to further reduce the cost. For example, two of the most important steps in the program are the new mold for the die cast case, and the new power shaft which has been developed through a method of casting. Both of these steps have required considerable effort to bring them to a successful conclusión, but both will have a large bearing on reducing the cost of the camera. As a matter of fact, we are confident that if the time arrivés when the C3 shows signs of losing its position in the market, the C4 will be the logical and worthy successor to it. The important thing to remember is that any worthwhile product invariably has a substantial period in getting smoothed out to the most economical basis of production. This is true not only in the camera business but in every other line. PLANT II ADDITION READY SPON Most of you have noticed the progress being made in completing the second story of the new wing of Plant IL It is scheduled for completion at the end of October and we hope to get the necessary equipment and benches installed shortly thereafter. All of our Military assembly will be transferred to this new area and it will be a completely self-contained unit, which will be known as Department 22 (Military Optical Assembly). This setup ties in well with the stretched out Military program. When the Military assembly is removed from the present Optical Assembly Department, it will leave that Department with the space that they need for our increase commercial business. ADDITIONAL PROPERTY PURCHASED We have recently purchased the house and property on Third Street next to our property. We have been anxious to acquire this land for some time because it filis out the area that we own in this block, We hope that some time in the future that we will build on this land to relieve the crowded conditions that we have in such Departments as the Machine Shop, Press Room and Paint Shop. TOOL ROOM ELECTION RESULTS As you have been notified on Bulletin Boards, the Tool Room has elected to be represented by the UAW-CIO. Following certification of the election by the National Labor Relations Boards, the Company and Union will meet together to negotiate a contract cover ing the Tool Room employees. We will keep you informed on progress and results. $231,000 GOES TO PROFIT SHARING FUND As we mentioned in a recent letter, there is a great advantage to Profit Sharers in the fact that the Company contribution is made on the basis of profit before taxes. This resulted in the $231,000 contributions for the past year, and it is interesting to compare this to the final net profit for the Company after taxes--$515,000. In other words, of the total of $746,000 shared after taxes by the Company and the Profit Sharing Fund, the Fund received almost one-third of the total amount, with the remaining amount being reinvested in expansión of Company facilities, and in dividends to stockholders.

Industrial Blood Bank Program Under Way

We have had practical experience with the Ann Arbor Industrial Blood Bank this month. For the first three weeks in October, sixteen employees reported to University Hospital to dónate blood. Since then our quota of donors has increased to ten each week. Most important, our program is working.. Early in October one of our employees needed four blood transfusions immediately. Mrs. Radford contacted the Red Cross and they in turn notified St. Joseph's Hospital that Argus had blood available at the University Hospital and that the blood used at St. Joseph's Hospital would be replaced immediately. Another employee needed eight transfusions and still another two. The transfusions were given and blood replaced at St. Joseph's Hospital. It is as easy as that. There is no waiting. No worry as to how we can get the blood. It is always there. It is of the utmost importance that we have three times as many donors as have presently signed up. Please sign your card and bring it in. If you have lost it others are available at the Personnel Office.

Alarm Sounds

Argus employees vacated the plant in record time recently when an automatic sprinkler went off due to excessive heat over the boiler in Plant I. Since the sprinkler system automatically sets off the alarm both in the plant and at the Fire Station, the Fire Department arrived on the scène to investígate cause for the alarm.

Suggestion Plan Awards

During the last month the Suggestion Plan brought about the adoption of seven practical ideas. A total of $91.94 was awarded for these ideas. Jim Barkley's idea for a special tooi to help extrude seal f rom a dispensing tube was worth $63.88, half of which was awarded to Jim as in the case of all suggestions. Ted Adams, of the Machine Shop, proposed the use of a centering bar to help chuck the body of the M-62-E2 for the Precisión Lathe operation. He received $10 for his idea. Others receiving $10 awards were Joyce Hallock, Camera Assembly; Paul Azary, Machine Shop; Janet French, Standards; Audra Stotts, Service; and Hilda Larivee, Mailing Room. These ideas ranged all the way f rom using a guitar piek to help assemble the capping blade spring on the 75 camera to changing the envelopes used for foreign mail which aids in sorting the mail. This cross section should indicate the great number of places where suggestions can and have been applied. You are actually selling your ideas when turning in a suggestion. Not all suggestions can be adopted but a lar ge number are and these are worth money to the suggestor and to Argus.

How True

One of the Machine Shop boys found he was being ribbed recently when he found the following MchuckleM attached to his time card-Man at payroll window, to worker: "Sorry, but with the deductions for the Sunshine Fund, social security, withholding tax, hospitalization, savings bonds, life insurance and gift fund, you owe us $6.80."

You Asked Andy

Time certainly f lies--another month has pas sed already which means itJs time for me to report on your questions. Just An Argus Employee is concerned about the difference in time shown on the clocks about the plant -seeins they are either fast or slow. The heart of the problem is that there is no central time system here. All efforts in this line are made to keep the time clocks adj usted by Bell Telephone Time so that they are right. The signal system is also kept on time this way. Department clocks are a headache. Each has to be adj usted individually. As a result it has pretty well been left up to the departments where the clock is to keep it on time. One good thing about a decentralized system: It would be harder than the dickens to set the clocks early in the morning and late in the afternoon to squeeze five or ten minutes more work out of us. A Group of Girls seem to have a problem concerning the First Floor Restroom in Plant I. They feel the matron is too watchful when they are eating lunch and chatting during rest periods. We look forward to the day when

there if sufficient space in the Cafetería to make it easy and enjoyable for every one to eat their lunches and snacks there. You gals are hard to please. First you talk about keeping the place clean. Then complaints come in about "persnickityness". Why don't we relax a little--everyone--and enjoy life. Next we have: "Dear Andy: How is it that our cost of living raise is a week late? Isn't it supposed to start the first of the month? It's costing each worker about $1.25 and the Company saves $1. 25 times the number of production workers. Explain please. "I Wonder. " All cost of living plan changes begin on the first day of the first pay period after the first of the month. In partial answer to this question and also in answer to requests that I mentioned last month in regard to paying the factory payroll weekly, steps are being taken to get our hoürly payroll on a weekly basis. The accounting people really dragged their f -and with good reason-this change will cost an additional $12,000 a year. We checked the companies in this and the Detroit área to find out how many paid weekly. No date can be set for the changeover to a weekly payroll. It will require the addition of several IBM machines to the Tabulating Department. As soon as we can get some information as to the date we can begin, Pil let you know.

Why is it everyone likes to see poor Andy work so hard! ! Oh, well, her e goes on another one. We Three want to know why the machine operators in the Machine Shop are rated A-B-C while other departments are not. As far as we know and as far as our existing rate ranges are concerned, the operators in Department 10 are not rated A-B-C. There are machine operators Class I and Class II. The principal difference between the two classifications is that the Class II operator operates the machine only, where as the Class I Operator sets up as well as operates the machine. We Three came through with another letter about job evaluations. "Dear Andy: We thought the job evaluation program was supposed to be impartial. The men doing the evaluation came through the Department with our foreman. They never stopped to talk with but two of the workers. We believe there are two sides to any story. The foreman could teil them just what he wanted them to know. Shouldn't the workers have something to say in the matter?" I got a hold of the job evaluators and asked them for the straight scoop on their evaluations. Here is their answer--if it doesn't satisfy you let me know! "We Three: This business of talking to all the workers on a job presents a real problem. (The job evaluation men in their introductory speeches said only that they could talk to a few and would have to depend on the foreman for most of the information. ) The schedule the evaluators' have is 1 12 hours to collect and write up in finished form the description of each job. Some job descriptions cover as many as 50 or 60 workers. At 15 minutes per worker just to talk over the duties briefly, this might mean 14 hours just collecting information. Actually there is a second factor besides lack of time which makes it really unnecessary to talk to all the workers. Most of the descriptions are rather -only long enough to identify the job and mention the main duties, but not so long as to describe in detail everything each worker does on his job. This means the evaluator has to talk to enough people to make sure he has the main duties. The evaluation of the job-deciding how long it takes to learn, etc. --is done by people who know the work intimately, like the supervisors and foremen. " That winds up the questions for this month. You' re really keeping me -but I like it! Be seeing you,

i Clip and save in Loóse Leaf Notebook to build a Photo Manual ' ! O PHOTOGRAPHIC CHRISTMAS CARDS Photographic cards can be made in many ways as the samples 1 on the back of this page show. , The most economical card is illustrated in #1. There a , , tive was selected and regular snapshots made. These were ■ , tached to colored poster paper that had a printed greeting. The ■ , design and art work is limited only by the effort you want to put . , into them. ■ i #2 shows the easiest and this is done by simply sending your ' negative to the phqto finisher who puts it on a card with a ' ard photographic greeting. It can be easier than that if you have ' 1 the finisher put your name on, then all you have to do is stamp ■ 1 and address the envelopes. ' Roy Craik used #3 last year and that required special ration. As you can see he put his message in the picture. He ( used a movie titling set but cut out letters would have served the , j purpose. , i An example of a more complex card is #4. Here four pictures i were selected and posted on a cardboard along with the music ■ i motif . This gave Red the chance to experiment with the ' i ment and when he was satisfied he took a picture of the board ' i and then made straight prints. ' 1 #5 required no more preparation than a regular portrait set up but did take some darkroom manipulation. A negative with the greeting was placed over the photographic paper during the en1 larging process. , An elabórate set up is shown on #6. Some evergreen i , es were nailed to a 2 x 4 and the tree lights attached. This i , along with some Christmas wrapped empty boxes were placed in i , the picture for effect. Some photographic hypo was poured on to i , a storm window and af ter it dried it had the appearance of f rost. ■ i The window with curtains and a shade attached was hung f rom a t i frame in the middle of the living room. The lights were then i Oi arranged and the picture taken. The finished card was a doublé ■ exposure as the picture was an enlargement of the negative and ■ the greeting was a contact. ■ There are many other ideas particularly those which include the Christmas theme that can be applied as variations to those suggested here. So get your thinking cap on and see if you can dream up some original card for your family this Christmas. i i k,_-___ - - - -. - _„. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --

Bowling

The 1952-53 Argus bowling season is new, but gives promise of being another close and exciting title chase. Joe Jaroszyk's Planning Five have jumped off to a flying start winning ten points while only losing two. "Thumping" Theodore Adams has lived up to his advanced billing and is leading his team with a respectable 168 average. Glenn Alt, a pillar of strength, has picked up where he left off last year and is stamping himself as one of the best bowlers. These two along with the powerful bowling Torn Knight and the steady bowling of Walt Hubbard and Captain Jaroszyk make a ver y potent entry. TOOL ROOM-MACHINE SHIP TIED Captain Jim Fraser of the Tool Room Five has his team fired up just enough to win their games. Bill Betke's newly organized Machine Shop Team has also made their presence feit by taking nine of the twelve points. "Hammering Hank" Smith is leading the drive with big assists f rom Chuck Myers, "Columbia Lou" Belleau, and the hard throwing Chuck Ceronski. PAINT SHOP FIVE FOLLOW Tied for fourth place is the pre-season favorite Paint Shop Team. Captain Bill Fraser enticed MFire ball" Ed Kuehn to come out of retirement to join up with his already star-studded team. The very able Egeler brothers and Mike Sinelli complete the roster of this very strong team. (Contined on next page. )

SPORTS REVIEW (Continued from Page 11.)

NEW TEAMS IN LEAGUE "Handsome Jack" Cummings has molded together a team of newcomers who know where they are headed. In Bruno Fraser, the Thirsty Five have one of the best anchormen of the league. Also making an early splash is Jerry Patterson's Dopey Five Team, who seem intent in showing they are not to be taken lightly. So far "Bantom Ben" Thompson has been the spark to carry his team to an 8-4 rating. QUALITY CONTROL TEAM STRONG Captain Jan Gaia has the same bowlers back this year and this entry has already established the fact that it is the best balanced team in the league. Anchorman Don Crump is starting out very well and should have a banner year. Until proven otherwise this team must be conceded an excellent chance of repeating as champions. ORDNANCE AND LENS TOOLS TRAIL "Red" McKnight's Ordnance Crew has yet to piek up a point. Their failure can hardly be attributed to Captain McKnight who is carrying a smooth 160 average. Emil Johnson' s Lens Tool Outfit has also had a rough time so far, but have been able to salvage one point so far. Emil is looking f or a change of fortune to lift his team f rom the doldrums. HIGH INDIVIDUAL AVERAGES This race should prove an interest - ing sidelight. Rube Egeler has invariably walked off with this honor in the past. His strongest challenge will most likely come from Chuck McClune who is anchor ing the Skunks entry. At this time Rube and Chuck are carrying identical 178 averages. Les Schwanbeck of the Green Hornets is also over that 170 average and is challenging the leaders. There is every reason to expect this year to top any of the successful seasons we have enjoyed her e at Argus.
