...their Vulcan bombers to NATO's new nuclear command, and the U.S. probably will contribute some SAC planes. But there are many sticky details still to be worked out. Who, for example, will turn the firing keys? And under what conditions? McNamara's Pentagon aides insist that there is plenty of time to iron out such details; after all, the NATO Polaris force will not come into existence for at least five years...

The company's catalogue lists more than 900 devices designed for such esoteric tasks as timing electrical impulses that last only one-thousandth of a millionth of a second.
