Conversion to the new com-

some problems, of course, but
most of the programs used in
the 7074 can be used in the
new system.

When the new IBM 7044 elec-
tronic data processor goes to
work in Data Processing’s com-
puting center in the next few
weeks, the refinery will be get-
ting more electrical brains for
less money.
The new computer will be
leased by the company for some
$7,000 less per month than the
7074 which it will replace.
The 7044 was moved into the
computing center in the Main
Office late in May. The 7074 was
moved to one side of the room
to allow the new one to be in-
stalled, but remains in operation
while the bugs are worked out
of the new one. The 7044 will
go to work on some problems
next week, and is expected to
be handling all of Data Process-
ing’s computer work by July 1.
Besides its lower rental cost,
the new computer has several
other advantages over the one it
replaces. Its brain, that is its
memory system, is more than
three times as large as that of the
old one—it has a vocabulary of
32,000 words compared to 10,-
000 for the one it replaces. This
gives it greater capabilities than
the 7074.
The new unit is also more com-
pact than the old one, and is
more efficient to operate.
Another advantage is the speed
at which the new computer
works. It is twice as fast as the
lens. Mother cats are also quite

Several organizational changes
became effective June 1:
D. C. Aubrey, formerly engi-
neering supervisor of the polyole-
fin section of Chemicals Techni-
cal, was assigned as an operating
supervisor at the Polyolefin unit.
He replaces C. H. Carney, who
accepted a loan assignment with
Esso Research and Engineering.
W. A. Brookshire was assigned
the position of engineering super-
visor of the polyolefin section, re-
placing Aubrey.
L. J. Reilly, formerly operat-
ing supervisor in Chemicals,
Camera Club Will
Meet Next Monday
The June meeting of the Bay-
town Camera Club will be held
at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, June
8. Location of the meeting will
be the club’s new meeting room
located in the Dock Guard
House, outside the gate at the
entrance to the refinery Docks.
The program will consist of a
PSA recorded lecture, “Deriva-
tions the Easy Way,” a report on
the PSA regional meeting, and
a color slide contest. Also in-
cluded on the agenda will be
showing of results of the club’s
May shooting session. Members
arc reminded to bring their
prints and/or color slides to the
meeting for review by those
present.
Plans for a field trip in lieu
of the July meeting will be dis-
cussed by club members Monday
night.
insist on doing things the catty
way.
A case in point is Queen, the
mama cat that belongs to the
Charlie Pool family. (Pool is
head of the Distillation and
Treating department.)
Queen used to be named King,
but two kittens changed that.
Since Queen was thought of as a
gentleman cal, her forthcoming
event was unsuspected. The first
the Pool family knew that some-
thing unusual was going on was
when Queen was discovered with
her kittens in a bed of leaves she
had made on the roof of the
house. Her bed was under a
three-foot overhang on Pool’s
modernistic roof, and overlooked
the den inside the house through
a glass window.
Of course, the family’s first
thought, after the initial shock of
discovering that King was a
queen, was that the kittens should
be brought down off the roof
where they would be better pro-
tected. A ladder was propped
against the roof, and the kittens
were brought down and put in a
box in the garage.
That was when Queen showed
her independence. The first thing
the Pool family knew, the kittens
were back up on the roof in the
bed of leaves under the over-
hang.
Queen’s first access to the roof
was via a board fence that
reaches almost to the eaves. She
was shown the ladder and began
to climb it instead of the fence.
When the kittens’ eyes were
open, they were again brought
down to the box in the garage,
and this time Queen decided she
had rather switch than fight, so
she let them stay down.
Mr. and Mrs. Pool and their
children, Lindy Lou, 17, and
twins Pal and Mike, 10, think
that the kittens are a prince and
a princess, but after King’s sud-
den change to Queen, they are
not real sure.

transferred to Employee Rela-
tions, where he will be on a
special assignment.
R. M. Love, formerly chemi-
cals planner, became operating
supervisor in Chemicals replac-
ing Reilly.
R. A. Dreselly, who has been
on a special assignment, will
serve as Chemicals planner until
about August 1, 1964, when he
will begin a loan assignment with
Enjay. The economics and plan-
ning seclion of Chemicals Co-
ordination and Planning will do
the industry study previously as-
signed to Dreselly.
W. S. Vorhaben, formerly op-
erating supervisor in Distillation
and Treating, became an operat-
ing supervisor in Conversion.
A. R. Knox, formerly operat-
ing supervisor in Chemicals, who
has just returned from a loan
assignment in Sicily, became an
operating supervisor in Distilla-
tion and Treating, replacing Vor-
haben.
