Orange County's Oldest Newspaper Established in 1870 Published Every Thursday VOL. LXXXIX, NO. 16 11 $2,000,000 PAYROLL ESTIMATED Autonetics Unit Selects Anaheim Site For Construction of Research Center An Electronics Research Center dedicated to advancing current technology in the dynamic electronic field will be established in Anaheim by Autonetics, a division of North American Aviation, Inc. Construction of the research center—a 60,000 square foot structure housing 46 separate laboratories—will begin later this year, according to Research and Engineering Vice-President Dr. Robert M. Ashby. Site of the advanced research facility is the northwest corner of Anaheim Rd. and Miller St., just north of the Riverside Freeway. Dr. Ashby said that upon initial occupancy about 200 persons—chiefly scientists and engineers—will carry out electronic research in three basic areas: physical systems and components. By the fall of 1961, Dr. Ashby estimated that the research center's annual payroll will approximate $2,000,000. He noted that Experimental Device Warns Motorist When He’s Too Close to Centerline Campaign Funds Reach High Peak From GOP Dinner Orange County's Sept. 15 Republican fund-raising dinner was an "unprecedented success," according to GOP Chairman C. Willard Key. "Never before in our history have we staged an affair of this kind to such an overwhelming crowd," the chairman stated. "Ticket sales far exceeded our Electro Lane, an experimental device that visibly or audibly warns a motorist when he’s too close to the pavement edge or centerline, will be put to practical use at General Motors Provinces Grounds. It is somewhat comparable to the "beam" by which aircraft pilots keep course from one airport to another. This will be its first realist test on vehicles using GM provinces' four-mile Ride and Handling Loop which resembles conventional two-lane highway. In the center of each lane is wire in the pavement radiating low frequency (2 kilocycle power). Dr. Ashby said that upon initial occupancy about 200 persons—chiefly scientists and engineers—will carry out electronic research in three basic areas: physical, systems and components. By the fall of 1961, Dr. Ashby estimated that the research center's annual payroll will approximate $2,000,000. He noted that the research center represents "a practical means" toward forging ahead of current science and technology. The primary impetus behind its establishment "is the dramatic shortening of the time span during which a technological development proceeds from basic scientific investigation through applied research, into engineering development and final production." Dr. Ashby said. Albert C. Martin & Associates are the architects and engineers for the building which will make maximum use of outside light for each office by utilizing three interior patios. The center's scientific library will cover some 2,600 square feet and a 200-seat auditorium will be available for technical symposiums. 2 Anaheim Men Win $500 Awards Victor Prosneski, 9672 Knott Ave., and Tom O'Neill, 9261 Lullaby Lane, were top winners in the recent national sweepstakes contest sponsored by the U.S. Plywood Corp.

Local Entries Get County Fair Medals Roy Sybrandy, a Norwalk dairyman, has received the grand trophy following the judging of more than 500 entries in the Milk Producers' competition at the Los Angeles County Fair Pomona. Orange County's Sept. 15 Republican fund-raising dinner was an "unprecedented success," according to GOP Chairman C. Wiliard Key. "Never before in our history have we staged an affair of this kind to such an overwhelming crowd," the chairman stated. "Ticket sales far exceeded our fondest hopes and, for that matter, exceeded the normal capacity of the Balboa Bay Club. We served dinner to over 1200 people, in a room that normally accommodates only 1000 people," Key continued. The county chairman pointed out that at $50 per plate the dinner netted the Republican organization a larger amount of campaign funds than it has ever had at this point in a political campaign. "We have not raised all the funds we need, and since we have no captive organizations to provide us with money, we now must turn to the people of Orange County, whose contributions of $1 and $2 will provide us with the necessary cash," Key said. Congressman Walter H. Judd, of Minnesota, was featured speaker of the evening and received a standing ovation for a brilliant performance. Among honored guests at the dinner was Mrs. Hannah Nixon, mother of the Vice-President. Management Meet Slated in October Plans are now being completed for the fourth annual Orange County Management Conference to be held at Chapman College on Saturday, Oct. 29.

Workshops will be scheduled so that conference parity by which aircraft pilots keep course from one airport to another. This will be its first realistic test on vehicles using GM providing grounds' four-mile Ride and Handling Loop which resembles conventional two-lane highway. In the center of each lane is wire in the pavement radiating low frequency (2 kilocycle power. When a car veers to the left or right, ferrite core coils on either side of the front bumper pick up electrical signals from the road Signal strength varies with the pickup coil's distance from the road wire. From an individual coil the 2 kc signal is amplified and fed to one of two warning lights. Intensity of the light is proportional to deviation toward that side. In addition, the signal from either side or pickup coil is applied to a network that feeds a speaker only after a pre-set level is reached. Thus, a driver will be alerted by light or sound, or both if he is too far toward the right pavement edge or toward the left roadway centerline.
