...youthful chairman of Motorola, Inc. acknowledges stem-winding introductions with a stock joke: "The most important reason for my rapid rise is that my dad owned the joint." At Motorola, the success of Robert W. Galvin is no joke. When he took over from his father Paul, the company's crusty, autocratic founder, Motorola had long been largely a one-man, one-product corporation. Galvin might have rested on his father's laurels, but he elected to be his own man. In the five years since his father's death, Bob, now 41, has made Motorola...
...more, even though just two years ago the daily average was a paltry 3.8 million. What especially pleases the bulls is the high quality of the most popular stocks. Leading the upswing are such solid blue chips as General Motors, Jersey Standard, Singer, International Harvester, Pittsburgh Plate Glass, Motorola-a sure sign that the buying is still dominated by the professional investors and the wealthy, who usually do not bite at untried glamour stocks or frighten easily at a slight downturn...
...silicon or germanium; the microcircuit reduces an entire electronic circuit composed of dozens of transistors and other components to a tiny latticework of thin metal conductors mounted on a base of such material as glass or silicon. At Texas Instruments, which shares leadership in the microcircuitry field with Motorola and Fairchild Camera, engineers have developed a piece of silicon the size of a split pea into which they have fused the equivalent of 38 transistors, five capacitors and 26 resistors-a complete circuit one-thousandth the size of a similar vacuum-tube circuit and one-hundredth that of a transistorized...
...devised a means of changing dies on stamping presses within minutes during a model run. Printed circuitry and other advances have cut the labor on a television set by 22% in the past five years, even though those technical breakthroughs have increased the bewilderment and helplessness of TV repairmen. Motorola reckons that it has increased the productivity of its white-collar workers as much as 20% by giving them output standards to meet. In a popular new system called PACE, developed by Northrop Corp., inspectors wander through work areas recording what each employee is doing at any given moment...
...Harvard, Ill. RCA, which went it alone during the colorless years, and now sells 55% of all the color TV sets and almost all of the color tubes used by other manufacturers, is spending $11.6 million to expand its plant at Lancaster, Pa. Challenging RCA with new competition, Motorola last week introduced a compact color tube that creates a 23-in.-long rectangular picture but is 5½ in. shallower than the RCA tube. Motorola sets with the new tube will begin...
