When Bomac merged with Varian Associates this year, six key employees were piqued because they got less than 1% of the swapped stock; in April they stalked off with four others to form Metco (Microwave Electronic Tube Co.) and compete with their former employer. Within nine days they had a plant in Salem, Mass., financing, firm contracts and a production schedule...
