Sins of Bigness. This trend to bigness is criticized by some of the bigwigs. One of the strongest voices is that of Judson Sayre, who as Bendix president in 1941-55, probably did more than any other man to promote the automatic washer; he now heads Borg-Warner's fast-growing North Division (1955 sales: about $129 million, triple the 1953 volume).
