...comeback is President James M. Skinner Jr., 43, who took over in 1956 when the company was racked by management troubles. He streamlined operations, brought in new executive brains, paid off the $25.9 million debt, and strengthened Philco's position in the laundry field by buying out Bendix.

Shot on film at Baltimore by WJZ-TV using a camera with a secret Bendix light amplifier, the spectacle was broadcast to the U.S. over Westinghouse TV stations...
...signal came in strong, was amplified by a trailerful of electronic apparatus (made for the purpose by Bendix Aviation Corp.), and recorded on a chart. When the first real satellite takes to space, ten Minitrack receiving stations will be ready in the U.S., Cuba, Antigua, Ecuador, Peru, Chile and Australia. Their information about the satellite's motion will be flashed electronically to Washington, where past orbits will be charted and future orbits predicted by computer...
...helicopter pilots, all-weather blind flying without ground guidance at the landing site has been a long-sought goal. Last week in Dallas, the goal was reached by Bell Aviation helicopter division and Bendix Aviation, which successfully tested an "electronic road map" that tells a pilot exactly where he is within a 100-sq.-mi. area. Using the landing system, the helicopter took off and flew to within 20 ft. of its destination without the pilot's being able...

And Sylvania, one of the fastest-moving companies of all, is perfecting the electronic "light sandwiches" for the home of tomorrow. Two new advances: Bendix last week unveiled an automated machine tool with an electronic brain that "reads" coded information on punched tape, automatically guides a 50-ton milling machine turning out precision aircraft and missile parts; National Cash Register this week marketed a "Post-Tronic" banking machine that electronically posts depositors' checks, virtually eliminates...
