Despite these shortcomings, many U.S. companies have established fluidics divisions. They are spending millions of dollars annually on fluidics research and development and will sell an estimated $30 million worth of fluidic products this year. One pioneering firm, Maryland's Bowles Engineering Corp., works entirely on the development of fluidic technology and systems. Appliance makers are developing washing machines and dishwashers with fluidic controls.

Morning after the Argus report, a big mutual fund, with its own pessimistic conclusions about Fairchild, offered a block...
...company with $317 million in sales. United Artists, though enjoying robust health after its Bond and Beatles bonanzas, is nonetheless looking for further monetary security as well as diversification. A proposed merger with Consolidated Foods was recently turned down by stockholders. But the company is still looking, with Transamerica Corp., a financial holding company, currently said to have the inside track. Such hardheaded business decisions may not please Hollywood's art lovers, but the trend has mightily impressed Wall Street's moneymen.
