Henry Brainerd, author, railroad expert and raconteur, came to the Draper Lab­oratory in 1946. A graduate of the Huntington School and Harvard Uni­versity, he taught himself programming 12 years ago and has written The MAC Primer and The MAC-360 Primer while at the Lab.

Hank is also responsible for "Trolleys West of Boston", an article published in the National Railway Historical Bulletin, and "The Chronicle of the Brainerds", a Christmas newsletter featuring wife, Na­nette, sons, Tim and Richmond, and daughter, Jessie.

The Executive Vice President of the Seashore Trolley Museum, Kennebunk~ port, Maine, Hank will work on his book about railroad signal history after retire­ment.

After 22 years with the Laboratory, Draper Guard James D. Kelleher retires this June and intends to "live it up". Jim came to the Lab in January, 1951, and will leave Draper with a near-perfect attendance record after "the happiest years of my life".

He and his wife, Patricia, have four child­ren-Daniel Patrick, Mary Patricia (De Carlo), Dennis James, and John Francis­and four grandchildren. The couple now live in Belmont, where they will continue their professional hobby of Real Estate Brokerage. Jim also plans to keep up with his gardening.

The Kellehers will be travelling now that Jim will have the time. In July they will spend a month in I re land, and by next January, they'll be off around the world.

Retiring from the Laboratory after 31 years of service is Francis McAvinney, Designer for the Component Develop­ment Group. Frank came to Draper in September, 1942, and leaves this June, commending the congeniality of his co­workers.

Frank and his wife Alma have been married 28 years, and have one son,21-year-old William. The McAvinneys live in West Roxbury.

Harry A. Johnson, Staff member and Assistant Director of the Components Development Group, has been with the Laboratory for 22 years.

During the last 15 years, the Arlington man has been associated with the devel­opment of the Pendulous Integrating Gyro Accelerometers (PIGA) as used in the Polaris and Minuteman guidance systems. Accelerometer work for the

Apollo program earned Harry a certifi­cate of commendation from MIT. For the past two years he has been Resident Engineer at Honeywell Aerospace Divi­sion in St. Petersburg, Florida in con­nection with the Minuteman PIGA Pro­gram and the SFI R-7 for the Advanced Inertial Reference Sphere (AIRS).

His retirement plans are to remain in the Boston area, lose weight, stop smo­king, and become a professional dilet­tante, for which he feels well qualified.

After 11 years with the Maintenance Department, Henry Banach retires this June. He is a Mechanic B working for John Cronin at DL5. ,,.---

Henry and his wife, Ella, live in Woburn. They have two children, David and Alan. Henry's retirement plans include golf and travel, (he wants to see the United States), and just plain taking it easy.

After 25 years of service to the Draper Laboratory, Donald Leavitt has retired and is on his way to Cave Creek, Arizona.

Don came to Draper in 1948 as a Project Technician, and in 1968 was promoted to Administrative Assistant for the EES Component Development Group at DL10. SPIRE and Apollo are just two of the projects he has worked on while at the Lab.

He and his wife of 34 years, Christine, have two sons, Richard, 28, and Edmund, 25. Don and Christine are looking for­ward to their new life, when they can relax in the sun and Don can set up his telescope and gaze at the clear Arizona sky.

William Kelley's is a success story. A former leather worker, he came to the Laboratory in 1950 as a Janitor, and retires this June as an Administrative Assistant V, now working as Expeditor for the Component Development D Group.

Bill and his wife have been married for 37 years. They have four children, Ju­dith, Richard, William Jr., and Thomas, and seven grandchildren.

The Winchester man describes his years at Draper as "tremendous", but is look­ing forward to his upcoming trip to Ari­zona to visit son William, Jr., and to days of tennis and gardening.

Luther Caverly came to Draper 15 years ago from the Fuels Research Laboratory at MIT. He has worked exclusively for the Navy Mechanical Design Group, supervising five machinists and four me­chanical technicians since 1964.

The best part of his years at Draper, admits Luther, are the people he has met.

Luther and his wife of 37 years, Adeline, will visit their sons, James and Martin, who are teachers in Charles County, Maryland and Orcutt, California, after Luther retires from the Lab.

RETIREMENT Continu ed

In January of 1951, Patrick J. Boulden came to the Draper Laboratory as a Guard, and in 1954 was promoted to Guard Foreman at the Bedford Flight Facility.

Pat , a resident of Maynard, will be travel ­ling to visit his three children and ten grandchildren. Daughters Mary (Rock) and Alice (Exner) live in Maryland, and son John lives in Illinois.

A former semi-professional baseball and basketball player, Pat is also looking for­ward to keeping up with the sports world during his retirement.

Retiring from the Laboratory Machine Shop after 21 years is Leroy E. Gorton of Canton.

Before coming to Draper, Leroy worked at the Physics Laboratory at MIT as a Lab Technician. His work in the develop­ment of scientific equipment earned him awards from the National Physics So­ciety.

Leroy plans to continue his woodwork­ing hobby after he retires. He and his wife, Dorothy, have been married 40 years . The Gorton's have two children, Kenneth and Janet, and three grand­children.

Thomas Pureka, Design Draftsman for the Deep Submergence Systems Group, retires this June. Tom came to the Lab­oratory in April, 1952, after having wor­ked at the USAF Research Center in Cambridge.

Born in Greece, Tom came to the United States in 1916. He was graduated from Haverhill High School and attended Mc­llheany Trade School, Mcintosh Business College, and MIT.

Tom and his wife of 37 years, Lillian, now live in Belmont, but will be moving to Cape Cod after his retirement . There Tom will continue part-time work in Real Estate. The couple have two child­ren, Elizabeth and Paul, and two grand­children.

Retiring this June is Frederick J. Calla­han, Draper Guard at the Bedford Flight Facility . Fred came to the Laboratory in 1957, after having worked 26 years in Advertising for the Boston Post.

A graduate of Newton High School, Fred entered the Army in 1942 and was dis-

page 3

charged 4 years later as a Captain . His co­workers at the Laboratory have been "fine people to work with," declares Fred .

Married 25 years, Fred and his wife, Mary, have three children-John, 22, Tho­mas, 21, and Mary, 19. After his retire­ment, the Auburndale man will work part-time in a publications house, as well as reviving his interest in photography. Golf and fishing will also take up much of his time.

Eugene F. McDermott came to the Lab­oratory in March of 1954. After 15 years as a Senior Technician for the SABRE System, and 3 years as a Machi­nist A, he retires this June.

A graduate of Hyde Park High School, Gene makes his home in that town. He has enjoyed his 18 years at Draper. His retirement plans, however, are more en­ticing. Gene will spend the rest of this summer in the Boston area, and will be moving to the warmer climes of Florida this fall.

DUFFY/WHITNEY ATTEND WOMEN'S WORKSHOP

President-Elect Robert A. Duffy joined 75 representatives from industry and education to participate in the Workshop on Women in Science and Technology recently held at MIT.

Mr. Duffy was accompanied by Cynthia K. Whitney, a Staff Engineer at Draper, who has received three degrees in phy­sics and electrical engineering from the Institute.

Sponsored by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the General Electric Foun­dation and the Alfred P. Sloan Founda­tion, the three-day workshop was con­vened by the Office of the Chancellor at MIT in order to formulate recommenda­tions for increasing female participation in the technical work force and to pro­vide guidelines for women attempting to enter occupations traditionally held lar­gely by men.

Helen Nayar, a Communications Writer at Draper, was a member of the Advisory Council which proposed and planned the workshop .

D-NOTES is published for the personnel of the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, Cambridge, Massachusetts. News and contributions should be addressed to D-NOTES and forwarded to Publications, Room DL 1-411, 68 Albany Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139, Telephone: (617)-258-3547.

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION

The Draper Affirmative Action Plan, in compliance with Revised Order No. 4, requires that notices of all job vacancies be posted throughout the Laboratory so that present employees are given every opportunity for change and/or advance­ment. Reasonable exceptions may be per­mitted in the case of internal reorganiza­tion or funding problems where transfer is necessary to avoid a layoff. The super­visor must document the reasons for al­lowing the exception in a memorandum to the Director of Personnel, who will notify the supervisor of approval or dis­approval.

Notices of job vacancies, in the form of Positions Available Listings are posted periodically in all Laboratory locations and the MIT Placement, Personnel and Information Offices.

The Draper Personnel Office must be notified as far in advance as possible so that these vacancies may be publicized internally, and the Personnel Office is given the chance to make an adequate search for qualified minority and female applicants.

No position may be filled from outside the Laboratory until such a search has been made.

All formal offers of employment must be made by the Draper Personnel Office, and no tentative informal commitments are to be made by a supervisor to an ap­plicant without the prior approval of the Personnel Office.

FROM THE DRAPER SAFETY OFFICE

Compressed air used for cleaning, such as in the machine and woodworking shops, must have a nozzle pressure of less than 30 psi. This may be ac-::omplished with a pressure reducing valve in the air line, or by the purchase of air guns which include a pressure reducer or relief device to reduce the nozzle air pressure to the level allowed, and with effective chip guarding.

THE CONTINUING ADVENTURES OF l.OM AND PETER AT DRAPER

As a part of the CSDL CITY (Community Interaction Through Youth) course, Engineering in Today's World, Richard Warren, a biomedical engineer, is helping two students design and build a device to enable the handicapped to type more effectively on an electric typewriter.

The CITY Project is a HEW sponsored program to provide an alternative high school opportunity for students in the Cambridge, Brookline and Boston schools under the "high school without walls" concept. Student participants this term in the Draper course are Tom Concannon and Peter White from the Industrial School for Crippled Children.

More than 3 percent of the country's population have some form of paralysis, motor control or mobility problem. Al­most all of these individuals could bene­fit from devices specifically engineered for their disabilities. Most cannot take advantage of this technology because of the enormous cost of these devices.

Those with muscular dystrophy, for ex­ample, typically require a wheel chair that may cost more than an expensive sports car. These elaborate and expensive devices appear sometimes to be engin­eered to insulate the user from the pro­cess he is performing and may, as a re­sult, do him a great disservice. This is especially true for the handicapped, who need to increase their participation in the world at all levels.

Dick Warren's seminar sessions are an attempt to show that substantial savings, as well as increased control over their environment can be realized by the handi­capped if they can be taught to build and to maintain their own equipment.

Two afternoons a week, the two students who have motor disabilities, work on Dick's project-the building of a simple device which allows Tom to type more effectively on an electric typewriter.

Tom has cerebral palsy. Although he is very intelligent, motor control problems make speech difficult and writing with a pencil almost impossible.

A typewriter is one of Tom's primary vehicles for communication. On an ordi­nary machine, he types at a rate of one character every two or three seconds. During his first week with the device,

page 4

which he and Peter built under the su­pervision of Dick Warren, he was able to triple his typing speed.

Tom Concannon (L), Peter White (C), and Draper's Dick Warren ( R), with their typing device.

Dick's goal is to develop a series of simple "do-it-yourself" kits, along with d sylla­bus and other teaching aids for a course in practical engineering for the handi­capped. An important part of the devel­opment consists of designing special tools for the handicapped; for example, a soldering iron for someone unable to use a pencil. Dick is optimistic that some­thing can be done along this line.

Dick, who's been with Draper for 12 years, believes that the concept of a high school without walls where studen'ts go into the surrounding community to ex­perience real world situations represents an enormous and as yet untapped edu­cational resource.

Dick has been involved in robot research and advanced concepts of computer de­sign. A Consultant to the Brook­line School System for the past ten years, he has made frequent appearances on Channel 2 and Channel 5. Students in the DL2 Freshman Seminar, sponsored by Draper at MIT, recently identified him as one of the most exciting teachers of their freshman year.

PEOPLE: RUSSELL LARSON

Russell Larson, Program Manager for SKYLARK, the mission program em­ployed in the Guidance, Navigation and Control System of the Skylab Command Service Module, is a travelling man.

As liaison between Draper and NASA, he's logged thousands of miles to Hous­ton and Cape Kennedy since he first came to the Laboratory in 1963 as a Resident Representative for A.C. Elec­tronics, but it was the road he travel led before he came to Cambridge that has made all the difference.

Russ Larson has come a long way from repairing telephone lines with his dad in Stillwater, Minnesota, but he hasn't for­gotten climbing up and down those poles for seven different companies. He credits these teenage experiences with heading him toward a degree in math and physics from Gustavus Adolphus College, in St. neter, Minnesota.

Finding the road to a B.S. a little bumpy financially, Russ smoothed his way by working for the public relations office at Gustavus Adolphus and as a free­lance photographer. His work appeared in the MANKATO FREE PRESS, the MINNEAPOLIS STAR and TRIBUNE and ST. PAUL DISPATCH and PIONEER PRESS.

Although scientifically oriented, Russ minored in philosophy and Christianity, a foreshadowing of another journey which he describes as his travels from hardware to software to people.

After graduation, Russ worked as a field engineer, but he also took courses nights in Digital Computer Theory and Logic, Education Methods and Technique, and the Essentials of Marketing. He wanted to develop his management ability, and he was intrigued by computers, software, and the methods used to help people understand them.

While at Draper, Russ has assisted in the development and writing of the Guidance and Navigation Flight Operation Manual and the generation and analysis of crew

One of Russ's current responsibilities is representing the Draper Lab as a member of the NASA Data Priority Panel, which coordinates and develops appropriate mission techniques for Skylab.

Another responsibility is insuring that SKYLARK will work within the confines of the Skylab mission and that the pro­gram design is compatible with mission requirements.

During the first phase of the mission, Russ will shuttle between Texas and Florida, linking Draper support teams at Houston and the Cape, but only when he's satisfied that SKYLARK performed the way it should will Russ Larson head for home.

Before coming to the Laboratory, Dave did placement work for the State of Missouri Probation and Parole Agency. He also worked for Community Develop­ment in Kansas City, Missouri and was sent by them into the community to define existing problems and to develop resources to meet the needs of the young and the elderly.

D-LAB STAYS IN CREDIT UNION

The Board of Directors of the MIT Em­ployees' Federal Credit Union have for­mally voted to extend the field of mem­bership of the MIT Employees' Federal Credit Union to include the employees of the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, Inc., foran initial period of one year end­ing June 30, 1974. This will enable the employees of the Laboratory who are now members or who may become mem­bers of the Credit Union to avail them­selves of all Credit Union services.

The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, Inc. will continue to make deductions from the salaries and wages of Credit Union members for the purposes of ad­ding to share accounts or for payments against loan balances. New loans can be arranged as they were formerly, and quarterly dividends will be added to the share accounts as usual. New employees and employees who are not, at present, members of the Credit Union will con­tinue to be eligible to join the Credit Union anytime they wish during the year extension.

During the one-year extension, plans will be explored to determine the feasibility of remaining part of the present MIT · Employees' Federal Credit Union or es­tablishing a separate Credit Union for the Laboratory or any other workable ar­rangement.

BALL BEARING SYMPOSIUM

On June 5, 6 and 7, the Draper Lab­oratory is sponsoring an International Ball Bearing Symposium at the Institute.
