Among the more sophisticated "information-retrieval" systems, Stromberg-Carlson has produced its 4020, Eastman Kodak its Recordak Miracode, RCA its 3488 and IBM its Walnut, which is used by the Central Intelligence Agency.

Pace would like to increase General Dynamics' nonmilitary business to 50%. Convair is turning out jet-powered 880 airliners (though sales have so far been disappointing). Stromberg-Carlson is bending its efforts toward new and better electronic computers that could open up vast new commercial markets for General Dynamics. And last fall the corporation worked out a merger through an exchange of stock with Liquid Carbonic, an international producer of industrial and medical gases...
