A reception heldat 6:00 P.M. in the private dining room honoredthe Most Reverend Lawrence J. Shehan, D. D.,Bishop, Catholic Diocese of Bridgeport inspirationalspeaker for the rally, and guests. Threehundred officers and workers attended the dinnerand rally which followed. Cost of the affair,which is held alternately in the cafeterias ofeach of Stamford's larger industrial organizations,was borne by the individuals themselves so thatno expenses would be deoucted from the Fund.Great numbers of favorable comments on our newheadquarters and its cafeteria facilities werereceived from the group during the evening.This second phase of the'58 United Puno Campai gn encompassessome four hundredand fifty workers who willcontact 21, 000 industrial andcity employees between September17 and October 10. Itwas preceeoed by the advancedgifts phase and will be followenby the general door-todoorcampaign. This years slogan, "care enoughto pledge enough", will be brought home to everyonecontacted. Be generous - pleoge a gift bigenough for all the agencies. Make it the convenientway - by cash or check or by buogetedpayroll deductions or billing direct from thecampai gn headquarters.Dorr-Oliver staff members taking part in the1958 campaign include Anthony Anable, Manager,Technical Data, serving as Vice Chairman of oneof the industrial groups. Bob HarriS, Directorof Personnel, and Max Dybiec, Finance and Accounting,serve as group captains. Many other D-Omembers serve as contact men wi thin the company'sStamford office drive.FIVE 0-0 STAFF ENGINEERS PASS '58 CONN.EXAMS, RECEIVE PROF. ENGRS. LICENSESFive D-O Engineers from Stamford and Westportcompleted and passed the grueling two day 1958examinations for Connecticut State ProfessionalEngineer's Licenses at Hartford in August. Thenew D-O licensees are ROBERT C. CONNORS, SalesEngineer, FluoSolids Division (Metallurgical);FLORENCE A. COOMBES, Design Engineer, Plant Engineering,(Structural); EDWARD P. FITZGERALD,Assistant Manager, Design Engineer, Plant Engineering,(Mechanical); ROBERT J. McARDLE,Process Engineer, Plant Engineering, (Mining);and WILLIAM P. TALMADGE, R. & D. Engineer, westportMill, (Chemical).These five, whose testing areas are indicatedby parentheses, were among the total of ninetyoneengineers from the entire State who passedthis year's examination. The company sharesparticular distinction with them in that therewere only eight engineers from the Stamfordarea granted licenses this year. The examination,administered annually by the Board ofRegistration for Professional Engineers and LandSurveyors, is given in two parts totaling sixteenhours of intense testing. The complete examis given in two parts, the first being generalengineering theory for which any engineeringgraduate wi th a bachelor's degree may apply.The second is administered only to those graduateswho have accumulated a number of years ofactual approved experience in a particular fieldof engineering endeavor. The test is generallyadministered in that same area of practice.Usually about half of those who take theexamination are not passed. These unfortunatesthen try again the following year. While it iscertainly not discrediting to repeat the examunder these condi tions, it is by the sametoken an achievement to complete the test successfullyon the first try. All five of theD-O examinees were trying for their first time!With the addition of these five, Dorr­Oliver now boasts a total of thirty-two Stamfordand Westport assigneo or located engineers withcontinued on page two •••

This is.of course, as itshould be since this division deals heavily inservices as well as products and a high percentageof these services are in building constructionwhere licenses are of considerableimportance to the conduct of business. SixResearch & Development Engineers are licensedby this State; others are in such departmentsand divisions as FluoSolids, Sanitary Tech.,International Sales and even Administration. Anumber of these and a host of other 0-0 engineersare licensed by other States.INDUSTRY AND CIVIC LIBRARIANS VISIT NEW D-OHEADQUARTERSThree Stamford area librarians were guests ofDorr-Ol i ver during the month of August. Under theguidance of Frieda Seemann, Miss Virginia Rankinof Time and Life Research Laboratory; Mrs. BerylM. Balsam, Pitney-Bowes, In c.; and Mrs. Lucy R.Eddy, Ferguson Library, toured our new headquarters.Of specific interest to the visitors was ourTechnical Data library facilities. Frieda hadbeen the guest of Time and Life and Pitney-Bowesearlier this year in similar visits to promotethe sharing of mutually desirable procedures andfacility innovations.PLANT ENGINEERING MEMBERS FORM CAMERA CLUBOn Thursday, September 18 a meeting was held andplans begun for a camera club consisting of membersof the Plant Engineering Division. Conceptionof the club idea took place at a slide showingby Sherman Gross for several members. Transparencieswhich were received depicted scenesnear a recent D-O installation in Montana.All amateur photographers, charter club membersinclude Joe and Tony DiSanto, Bee Fisher,Sherman Gross, Hossein Motavalli, Joe Provey andLarry Vegiard.

Dottieand her husband, an executive with Western Unionat the New York headquarters, live in Stamfordat 9 Berges Street.PAGE 2Probably unknown to most D-O staff members is aninformal and unofficial staff barbershop quartet,first formed in 1948. Although organized purelyfor recreation and self-inflicted enjoyment, thegroup has performed on occasion for 0-0 gatheringsand in church.This month a crisis confronts the barbershopquartet. The departure of its baritone for SouthAfrica where he is gainfully employed because ofother talents has rendered the group a forsakenand mismatched trio (first and second tenorsand the bass). Therefore, in an effort to bolstertheir ranks to full-throated strength, the groupis calling for a new baritone volunteer from theranks of harmony-loving 0-0 staff members.Quali fi cations established by the group'scombination press, booking and talent agent areessentially threefold a"d~in tempo with thegroup's organization, strict. All appl icantsshould have a fair voice (baritone) and a freenight about once a month to join with the groupat rehersals which are generally held in Westport.Ability to read music is helpful, but not essential. All applicants who can meet the abovelisted requirements may apply to Dan Gillespie,Assistant Industrial Sales Manager, Stamford,Extension 395.The group has also graciously offered to lendhelp to D-O staff members who may plan to formnew vocal groups for the purpose of fellowshipand exploitation of tonsorial talent."Prosperity is something we feel, fold, and sendto Wash ington.

MACHINE ACCOUNTING SECTION - EXPANDING ACTIVITIES &UNLIMITED CAPABILITIES The machine age in business accounting is her e.For Dorr-Olive r it began in 1955 and, if we maymake a popular comparison to the "space age",it's progress well beyond the initial satelliteforetells its great capabilities and increasingimport upon Dorr-Oliver worldwide.Beginning in December, 1955 wi th a #402 accountingmachine, a card sorter, key punch and a keyverifier - all I.B.M. equipment - Section Supe r­visor Ralph J. Reinecke began the call, "h avemachines, will tabulate) n Lest we give the wrongimpression, however, most of the twenty-two majoraccounting applications of the Section sincethen were not drummed up at all but rather,planned well in advance of equipment installation.Some of these were orders entered, payroll,machine billings, accounts payable and travel.With the beginning of operation it becameevident that many more accounting tasks could beadvantageously performed by machine and withthe buildup of major applications in the Section,many extra accounting advantages came to light.Factual information from two or more operationscould be combined to produce special, by-productreports. In terms of the system, these by-productreports are pure profit, taking only a few hoursto produce from already compiled facts.Since the first machines were installed theprogress of the Machine Accounting Section hasbeen synonomous with expansion.TYPICAL APPLICATIONIn order to get a representative view of the workof the Section, let's take one major accountingapplication which is, for our purposes, typicalof the many. The company payroll is such an application,very broad in scope and certainly ofundeniable interest to every staff member!Payroll control and accounting is the responsibilityof Finance & Accounting Department'sPayroll Section. For all its major application~;Machine Accounting Section is in effect a servicegroup similar to our Internal Printing Sect ionto Which different departments and sections taketheir printing requirements together with thenecessary original copy and specifications forits reproduction. In this manner Payroll Sectionfeeds its payroll information to Machine Accountingwhich performs the necessary tabulation andother duties which we will explain.At the beginning of each ye ar, Machine Accoun t­i ng prepares a master payroll card (rect angularI.B.M. card that all of us have seen at one timeor another) for every staff membe r of the company.A master deduction card is made for everymembe r at that time also. This second card notesstandard deductions to be made such as retirementKey punch veri fier He len Evans (foreground) ch eckdetai l cards against o rigin a l documents . Bo b Con nol l yhelps Carmella Fino arrange original do cume n ts fortranscripti on on information on pun ch cards.S ah runp lan, group insurance, go vernment bon ds ndother reoccurring deductions.We have two pay periods each month and t hepayroll must be "run" for each. Each of thesetwo payroll operations is further subd ivided byinside (Stamford) and outside office locationswith the latte r checks an d the accompany i ngaccounting being produced several days ahe ad ofthe internal payroll. This allows for mai 1 i ngtime, f;O t hat all D-O !::itaff r eceive their checkson the same day.For the sake of Simplicity, l et us consi derjust the internal payroll for a gi ven nay pe r i od.For this particular period Payroll Section computesovertime for each staff member, r eco rdsthe figures on their control sheet an d di rectsMachine Accounting to make an overtime card forevery member who will r ece ive overtime pay in thisperiod. In like manner, exception cards whichrecord one-time deductions are also made up.Ma~ hine Accounting next combin es th e ~ns terpayroll an d deduction cards in a s ingl e file.They also make up new master ca.r ris for n w me fll ­bers w~o have joined within the pay period andfor vacation pay checks where necessary.co n t t n u ~ d on nex t p age . .•PAGE :I

MACHINE ACCOUNTING cont inued ...These latter two card groups then are combinedin a sjngle file with overtime and exceptioncards, in proper orrler of course and a register,or record sheet, is tabulated anrl compared withPayroll's Control Sheet for card balance.With all figures in order, Machine Accountingthen combines the master and standard deductionfile with the overtime-exception-new member fileand the year-to-date file which includes a cardfor everyone. From this file a proof register isprepared. For any given staff member there maybe a.s many as six cards to handle each pay periodalthough three cards per verson would be consideredaverage for the more than eight hundredand fifty salaried members.The next step is th~ preparation of the payrollregister which shows all of each member's payrollinformation year-to-date summary and current periodfigures. When a:register-control check is completed,all year-to-date cards are removed fromthe file and the tabulator transfers the requiredinformation from the file cards onto a continuousribbon of blank paycheck forms.Two operations are yet required before thechecks are ready to send to ~ayroll Section fordistribution separation of individual checks fromthe perforated sheet and signing each with theauthorized signature of the Secretary-Treasurer.These two steps are both accompl ished on th.eimperforator-detacher which, when separatingchecks, also removes the perforated tabulatorguioe edge. This machine is commonly referred toas the "burster".While the finished checks - in order by department,section, division and employee number - goto Payroll Section for enveloping anet distributiona few operations still remain for Machine Accounting.The ~1. A. Section runs off a check registershOwing check number, amount and payee. Thisregister is used for bank reconciliation, primarilyto guard against defraud. A register ofdeductions is also prepared to determine howmany of each type of deduction was made anet theiramounts. The file of machine carets is then resortedfrom division order back to employeenumber sequence and filed by Payroll Section forthe next period.Two important thoughts occur at this point tolaymen - what about secrecy, and doesn't this involvedprocedure consume a great deal of time?Actually a great deal of consideration is givento the confidential nature of payroll accountin~A minimum number of persons is involverl andwith but a very few exceptions these persons areall members of the Payroll Section. For examp le,a Payroll member rather than a M. S. member transfersfigures to the punched cards which are int hemsel ves a measure of confidence. And, theP;\GE 4checks are separated and Signed and handled onlyby Payroll people.A third measure of security is sneed ~h ichbrings us to why the procedure is done on pmch ine.One operation • the separating and s igning ofchec\{s by the "burster" ta kes less than fiveminute s for entire inside or outside payroll!Other machines which are used run at 60 to 650cards per minute anrl once tabulated the cards goback in file and the resulting register goes toPayroll Section, hand-carried by the person whoproduced it or a member of Payroll. Swift andconfinential handling is M. A. Section's greatabil.ity.I30b Connolly (left) and Ralph Heine cke check figureson a regis ter as it emerges Iroma tabulator. A s econd,identical unit can be seen in the background.SECTION PERSONNEL AND MACHINESIn order to perform anyone of the multitude ofits application functions, the M. A. Section mustfirst have the required facts and figures transferredfrom written record to punched cards.This is accomplished by key punch machines andoperators Helen Lau\{evicz and Carmell a Fino.Their information source is either a co~e sheetprepared by the ctepartrnent or division requestingthe operation or in some cases, original documents,patents for exafl1[lle. Rearling the codesheet or document an operator types the fact sand fi gures on a one-h and combinat i on, aJ phabet icaland numerical keyboard. The resulting irljllusespunch small rectangular holes on a carn.Punched cards are checker! by Helen Rvans,accompl ished operator who, with a key verifier,re-transcribes the information on the card in aproof-reading operation. Finished carnS are 100%correct. This is extremely important since anyinformation derived from machine accounting mustcome from the rectangular cards with their littlePHlldlP.o holes.A key punch operator can turn out an averageof 1,400 cards a day depending of course, on thecomplexity of the information she is transcribing.No hard and fast average for our Section can be

established since our applications are so greatin number and so varied in content. The job ofan operator is one of coldest routine, typingcontinuously throughout the day. It is also avery vital job, the first and impassable step inmachine accounting. Like a cross-country freighttruck driver, who must keep undivided attentionon the road and whose every minute off the roadis lost time, the key punch operator is the keyperson in machine accounting.Punched cards are sometimes run through theinterpreter which "read" the holes and printstheir meaning in letters and numerals at the topedge of the card. This is a slow operation, justone card per second! Personnel record cards areinterpreted in this manner so that PersonnelSection members can read at a glance the card'sstore of knowledge. It takes long practice to beable to read and interpret the hole pattern at aglance.The next step for all new cards is the sortingmachine which classifies them in alphabeticalor numerical sequence such as by employee number,order number or client last name. Some 650 cardscan be sorted in one minute. Another machine,the collator, has multiple uses. On this workhorsesorted cards may be checked to certify theirsequence; two fi les of cards can be J1lerged intoone; and a merged file can be separat~i into twoseparate files. The collator will also rerformvaried other forms of its selection function.It has two speeds - 240 cards/minute and 480cards/minute.Heart of machine accounting, the tabulator,produces the section's product. Fed a file ofcards in proper sequence it picks out selectiveor detailed information from each and prints iton a form register, pI ain paper register or inthe case of payroll, check blanks. It will alsolabel and address continuous form envelopes.When tabulating, this machine will print theinformation from a master card then read each ofthe following detail cards which apply to themaster card, accufllUlate the information and printthe totals on the same register line! Needlessto say it subtracts as well as adds, however,more complex machines of this type can alsomultiply and divide. Its speed? 100 cards/minutein a listing operation with detailed informationand 150 cards/minute when totaling by groups.The tabulator contains a control panel brainwhich is a complex-wired circuit panel approximately10" x 18". This electrical Ouija boardresembles a telephone Switchboard with all itsconnectors plugged in. When we asked RalphReinecke, Section Supervisor, how many possibleconnections could be made on a Single board. Heanswered, "I don't know, I've only been in thisbusiness ten years!"

AStaff Sargeant with the Corps, Bob spent threeyears of his service as a section supervisor andhas attended a number of I.B. M. schools coveringthe various phases of machine accounting.The product of tabulation is the registerwhich this machine produces. It may contain anycombination of the facts and figures punched onthe cards. The file of used cards is returned tothe division or section to which the informationbelongs or may be kept on hand in M.A. Sectionfor its reuse.The M.A. Section also has a reproducer whichcan create a brand new file of cards by selectingcertain information from one or more establishedfiles and punching a new file of cards. As aninterspersed gang punch it will punch all theinformation from a master card into its detailcards which follow the file. With two feeds,each at the rate of 100 cards/minute, the reproduceris invaluable for creating new cardsfrom already recorded information thus eliminatingthe necessity of key punching establishedfacts.In business 1ess than three years, M. A. Sectionhas on hand hundreds of thousands of detailcards. Annually, it creates about 80,000 cardsfor accounts payable along!Justifiably proud of his Section, Ralph delightsin producing a by-product register which,because of the sheer bulk of time required, couldnot have been produced wi thout accounting machines.He began his association with the machines in1947 following three years service with the U.S.continued on next page...PAGE 5

ROUNDUP OF STAFF VACATION NOTESWith the month of September rapidly drawing to aclose the end of the formal vacation season isat hand. Taking an informal poll to discoverwhat 0-0 staff members did with their time offwe found an overwhelming majority struck out inthe family car for as much fun and excitement asthey could pack into the time allotted. Thegentle art of relaxation, or loafing if you will,seems almost passe in this age. Even those of uswho stayed at home found plenty of physicalactivity to keep ourselves away from a peacefulhammock repose beckoning in the shade.On top of the list of places visited duringthe season was Cape Cod and following in popularorder, Florida and Canada. The following rundownincludes a good number and variety of thosevacations reported:PAT MAYER (Plant Engineering) and her husbandpurchased a small outboard boat with a largemotor this summer and spent many happy weekendswith the Power Squadron group or by themselves,cruising the Sound to Montauk, Quoque and otherpoints. With friends, they also hired a professionaland took water skiing lessons. This monththey flew to Cuba to visit Pat's parents anddeep sea fish from a large rower cruiser. An oldhand at sail ing and fishing, Pat grew up withboats, her father's hobby. Her grandfather's enthusiasmfor boats was such that he built themin his front yard and rolled them into the adjacentwater!CHARLES CHASE (Plant Engineering) hasn't aboat yet but certainly needs one.
