Instrument M a k e r s H a v e High R&D Budgets PALM SPRINGS, CALIF.

Research and

development budgets, more than three times greater than the national average per sales dollar, is one reason that ap­ paratus makers have fared better than industry, in general, during the cur­ rent recession. Richard E. Welch, president of the Scientific Apparatus Makers Association, made this state­ ment before 400 association members gathered here for their 40th annual meeting. "Business slumps may very well re­ flect lags in pure research," he said. "In the past, ovir economic growth came largely from expansion into new lands or through discovery of rich deposits of natural resources. Such opportunities are relatively limited now. "Only a little more than 8% of the country's $4 billion yearly investments in R&D goes for basic research today. Yet, basic research is a thorough eco­ nomic practicality." SAMA officers re-elected include Welch, president and G. A. Downsbrough, Boonton Radio Corp., presi­ dent pro tempore. T. M. Mints, Ε. Η. Sargent & Co., Aiken W. Fisher, presi­ dent, Fisher Scientific Co., and Edward B. Patterson, president, Arthur Thomas Co., were elected directors at large. Charles S. Redding, board chairman, Leeds & Northrup Co., was awarded the Scientific Apparatus Makers Award for "highest achievement in developing the industry's capacity for serving the nation in the fields of industry, re­ search, education, health, and defense."
