Buckley Breaks Bottleneck
CHICAGO;-Buckley Music System, Inc.,
is -helping the Axis invasion jitters by
eliminatin g a bottleneck that threatened
output of American gyro-compasses, ac-
cording to a report in the Daily News.
At th e request of the facilities section
of the WPB in Washington, Buckley today
is building motor generators for the Pack-
age Machinery Co., Springfield, Mass.,
which is producing the co mpasses for th e
Navy.
Walter E. Rapp , a director of th e sec-
tion, brought executives of both compa-
nies together for a conferen ce when h e
learned that the Springfield war plant
would need motor generators more quick-
ly than the original design com pany could
supply them.
Result: The Buckley firm retooled and
is now meeting production schedul es for
the generators despite the fact that the
company had no previous experience in the
field. Output of the gyro-co mpasses wiII
not be delayed.

NEW YORK-hi the post war era one
out of every five co mpan ies in business to-
day intend to invade new fields and two
out of three intend to increase develop-
ment in related lines, according to a report
issued by McKinsey and Co.
Polling 100 companies in 22 major in -
dustries, the ma nagement consulting firm
found that six out of t en firms already had
begun postwar planning.
About three-fifth s of the gro up were
made up of companies with prewar sales
of less than $5,000,000 whil e less than 10
per cent reported volume of more than
$100,000,000. Approxirn.ately one-fourth of
the concern s produce materi als with war
and peacetime uses while 20 per cent han-
dle civilian lin es.
Included in results of the survey were:
Postwar plans appear to be in th e forma-
tive stage with three-quarters of the plan-
nin g done on a part-time basis by commit-
tees; less than one-third have reached the
point of even ten tatively forecasting sales.
Some manufacturers have discovered that
small plants in rural areas have cost a d-
vantages over urban factories.
About 40 per cent of the companies h ave
more than doubled their employees from
prewar levels while 20 per cent increased
pay rolls from 20 to 50 per cent. Only 20
per cent anticipate substantially increased
employees in the future whil e 40 per cent
expect sharp reductions.
' One concern in five expects to buy or
build n ew plants while 40 per cen t ex pect
new equipment wiII be required.
Definite plans for greater cultivation of
foreign markets is reported by 20 per cent,
many of which had little or no such busi-
ness before the war. Interest centers in
Central and South America.
A r ecent survey co nducted in Los An-
geles and Chicago revealed that operators
a re overlooking the proper balance of their
pick-ups on automatic phonographs.
For lon ger record and needle wear, pick-
ups today should b e just as light at the
needle point as possible. It is estimated
that 85 per cent are far too heavy or much
heavier than need be. With the pick-up
too h eavy a cinder track is developed
causing extra wear of both record and
needle. When the pick-up is properly bal-
anced, the groove holds up much lon ger.
It will pay operators to check th eir
pick-ups on all machines for longer rec-
ord and needle wear and fewer service
calls.
Shellac Shortage Ended?
LOS ANGELES-Indications that the
shellac shortage is bein g partially met was
drawn from a notice sent out under date
of August 18th by Decca Distributing Corp.
to its dealers and operator-customers on
the Coast.
Said the message in part : "Effective
immediately and until furth er notice it will
not be necessary to return scrap records
to Decca to apply against the purchase of
new records. As a result of the active
cooperation of all dealers and operators
we have accumulated enough scrap to meet
current production needs for a period of
several months, or at least until furth er
noti ce."
Decca is th e first to make such an an-
nouncement and in the face of anticipated
increased demand for records for Christ-
mas gifts the notice is particularly encour-
agin g for th e operating fraternity.
