F o x b o r o C o . , Foxboro, Mass., has completed a new 40,000 square foot instrument manufacturing a n d assem­ bly building a t t h e Foxboro (Nederland) N . V. plant in Soest, Holland. T h e new plant will supply t h e E u r o ­ pean Common M a r k e t .

G e n e r a l Mills is combining all activ­ ities related to electronics a n d allied fields with two wholly-owned subsidiar­ ies to form a new General Mills Elec­ tronics G r o u p . Magnaflux Corp., Chicago, a n d T h e Daven Co., Living­ ston, N . J., are t h e two wholly-owned subsidiaries. T h e new organization, re­ flecting the company's long-range policy of diversification, will have major facilities in Minneapolis, Chi­ cago, Los Angeles, Livingston, N . J., and Manchester, N . Y., plus a nation­ wide field service network and labora­ tories in key cities across t h e coun­ try. Initially, personnel at all lo­ cations will total approximately 3200 with more t h a n 1000 of these in Min­ neapolis. Products include laboratory a p p a r a t u s and instruments for chemical, metallurgical, physical, a n d spectrographic testing.

A message; of importance t o . . .

For observing differences in crudes...; for analyzing distillation fractions..;; for the monitoring of alkylation prod-, ucts...and for many other analyses of I petroleum derivatives, Ν MR Spectro-'; scopy provides invaluable chemical insights. As an analytical tool, NMR:!; can, for example, make rapid deter-J minations of the presence or relative; number of aliphatics, olefinics and . aromatics', and can be used to study ' features such as degree of branching ...facts long recognized by petroleum • chemists in basic research. Now with the practical advances of the new; Varian A-60 Spectrometer, NMR is; broadly applicable at numerous points ' throughout petroleum refineries and petrochemical operations.
