Executive realignment
Vacuum news the comparable period of fiscal 1970, sales were $26862.93 I. net operating income was $1590,684 and net operating income per share was $1.23. The Board of Directors declared a year-end dividend of 16~ per share payable January 7, 1972 to stockholders of record on December 30. 197 I. This dividend is the maximum amount payable in accordance with the Phase II guidelines. Tenney reports nine months’ results
Tenney Engineering, Inc, of Union, New Jersey, USA, reported sales of $3,180,269 for the nine months ended September 30, 1971. versus sales of $3.923.771 in the 1970 period. Net after-tax ‘loss was $375,577 compared with a net loss of $306,551 the year earlier. Pre-tax loss in 1971 was $395,973 compared with $604,590 in 1970.
New literature Sputtering equipment
In a comprehensive catalogue of Sputtering Modules and Systems, MRC announce an expanded and up-dated equipment range. A significant advance in multi-purpose batch processing units is claimed -for the Svstem 90. This has been developed from the 8632 System and includes a number of new features. It is possible to sputter, bias, etch or heat substrates under any of up to three deposition targets. Substrate to target spacing is externally variable during all these operations, and a novel shutter design virtually ehminates cross contamination. Other refinements include push button control of shutter, substrate, etch platform and operation mode, and a process status display. The new catalogue also features the wide range of MRC laboratory sputtering modules, the 870 Series radial geometry sputtering units and the System 89 fully automatic programmed production system.

Development of sealing systems
Advantages in using Wills Metallic “0” rings to provide a reliable sealing system when high pressures are met in high temperature environments, are discussed in a new technical brochure issued by the Tygadure Division of Fothergill & Harvey Ltd. More recently, PTFE has been introduced as a coating for Wills rings, providing the answer to a greater number of static sealing problems. Wills rings seal by the cold flow of ring metal over the peaks of the machined face, induced by the pressure exerted by the compressing faces. This cold flow and a requisite reactive force is obtained when the ring is compressed into an oval shape. Dimensions of the ring space must be such as to ensure that when the flange is tightened down, there is adequate pressure on the ring (and thus on the sealing faces), and that the ring is compressed sufficiently to cover a useful area but not compressed to a point where it loses its essential resiliency. There are four basic types of Wills “0” ring, pressure filled; pressure actuated; unmodified hollow, and solid. Most applications require rings made from types of mild steel, stainless steel or copper but for special applications, rings may be made from Inconel, nickel, cupro-nickel or monel. and. where necessary, plated or coated with’indium, cadmium; silver, gold or PTFE. Coatings of these materials will allow the ring to-accommodate a rougher surface finish& the flanges.

A text book on vacuum bra&g, to be published in the United Kingdom. has been written by Dr Michael Fletcher, materials and joining engineer with Wentgate Engineers Limited, of St Ives, Hunts. It is a monograph called “Vacuum Brazing” and is one of two he has written
for a new series of seventy technical works being published by Mills and Boon of London and aimed at production engineers and designers. The other monograph is “Electron Beam Welding”. Both texts present an overall picture of the joining processes from a brief examination of the fundamental principles through to an indication as to how development and aonlication will nroceed in the future. The h’a;d core of the’monographs is concerned with the requirements for joint design, commercial applications and economics, all matters of considerable interest to potential users of the processes.
