He is building a new $5,000,000 plant at Burlington, Iowa to make radio tubes for defense, more than doubling Sylvania's Long Island physics laboratory to handle work for the Atomic Energy Commission, and building or expanding six more plants...
...dual-rotating propellers for use with them. With all this, United Aircraft, which has paid a dividend every year since 1935, last year chalked up $269 million in sales and a net of $13.2 million. In 1951's first quarter it earned about $3,700,000. Total backlog: $910 million...

Last week Fruehauf went to work on a new $50 million Government order, added to its backlog of $50 million in civilian orders and an earlier $50 million in military contracts...

Fairchild is making only eight of its cargo-carrying Cng "Flying Boxcars" a month, could produce 20 if it could get engines. Boeing is sitting on part of its billion-dollar backlog, waiting for Pratt & Whitney engines for its B50 medium bomber...
