Present annual group sales &I10 million. Vacuum Generators and cryogenics
Vacuum Generators have now formed a Cryogenics Section to deal with the increasing number of requests to undertake this type of work. Requests have mainly been from customers who were aware of how readily Vacuum Generators’ facilities for ultrahigh vacuum engineering could be applied to cryogenic technology: the formation of the new section means that these facilities can now be made available to a wider market. Vacuum Generators have made a variety of special cryostats, and have been able to apply cryogenic technology to their vacuum engineering products. For example, helium-refrigerated cryopumps have been used in parallel with ion pumps in large vacuum chambers, and one of their ten Low Energy Electron Diffraction systems now in operation incorporates a specimen holder which is capable of isolation and translation while maintaining the specimen at 80°K in a vacuum environment of lO-1o torr. Vacuum Generators is a British company formed 4 years ago and has built up rapidly to about 100 people engaged in the development and manufacture of stainless steel ultrahigh vacuum equipment. The company believes that their success in advanced technology is in a large part due to close cooperation between Universities and other research laboratories who have appreciated their ability both to supply special equipment very quickly and to turn ideas rapidly into marketable products.

Generators have been able not only to reduce British dependence on American and other overseas sources but also to export a significant proportion of their production. Manufacturing facilities include: machining and manipulation of stainless steel; argon arc welding, including thin tubes and sections; chemical cleaning and electropolishing; ultrasonic cleaning; mass spectrometer leak detection; glass to metal seals; ceramic to metal feed throughs; manipulators using stainless steel bellows; flexible stainless steel couplings; clean assembly facilities; glass, quartz and sapphire viewing ports; electronic assembly and wiring; and comprehensive test facilities. The technical staff includes four physics graduates and five qualified mechanical and electronic engineers. Veeco/Lambda
Corporation, Benton Harbor, Michigan, USA have announced that, effective from 1st November, 1967, they have joined forces with Rotary Pumps Limited, their marketing outlet in the United Kingdom, to form a new Company, Gast Manufacturing Co Ltd to extend the manufacture and marketing of Gast Rotary Vacuum Pumps, Compressors and Compressed Air Motors throughout the United Kingdom. Managing D&or of the new Company is Mr John Hinton. Gast Manufacturing Co Ltd will be located at 2 Station goad, Loudwater, High Wycombe, Bucks, where a complete stock of pumps, motors and parts will be maintained for prompt handling of customer requirements. Full repair and rebuilding facilities for Gast products are also available at the High Wycombe location.

completed in the spring of 1968 to acccmmodate some 200 new production and engineering staff due to be employed between now and next March. Present staff amount to 325 at Veeco and 375 at Lambda. The additional building reoresents another step in Veeco’s c&po;ate expansion programme and is expected to double its already rapidly growing employee population within the next three years. Recent announcements include the establishment of a new field sales organization with Z J Rivlin appointed as Field Sales manager, responsible directly to R L Dietrichson, Vice President of Marketing. Consolidation of the Veeco and Lambda sales activities has resulted in the appointment of five regional managers under Mr Rivlin: R Laken, Eastern Region, Plainview, New York; F Chase, Western Region, Los Angeles, California; H Kott, MidAtlantic Region, Washington DC; F Skretteberg, Southern Region, Dallas, Texas; and E Sexton, Mid-Western Region, Chicago, Illinois.

Electrobalances will be incorporated into thermal analysis systems developed by Stanton. It is also proposed that other gravimetric systems will te developed for use in fields where advantage can be taken of the particular capabilities of Cahn Electrobalances. Stantons already enjoy a high reputation in the thermal analysis field and Cahn have been making recording vacuum balances for many years. The cooperation may therefore be expected to vield some highlv versatile and soohistiiated thermal- analysis and gravimetric instrumentation.
