In addition, New York Airways will offer current shareholders the rig h t to purchase one share of stock fo r each share now owned a t the same price as stock p u r chased by P an Am and TWA. Pan Am and TWA will each vote only 24% per cent of the Volume 28 stock of New York Airways. Ad ditional stock owned by the two airlines will be held and voted in an independent voting tru st. Pan Am and TWA will continue to give a stipulated annual subsidy to New York Airways, and, in addition, will each contribute an annual fee in the am ount of $ 100, 000.

V isual inspection used to consume six hours. E xplaining how he became involved in non-destructive te s t ing, Robbie recalls an anecdote his fa th e r related 35 years ago. The chief m echanic of a railro ad and an inspector from the In te rsta te Commerce Commission were arguing about w hether a wheel on Robbie’s fa th e r’s locomotive was cracked.
