What Mario Odor started on
November 24, 1956, on his 37th
birthday, has now grown into an
impressive worldwide collection
of rare and ancient coins. On
that day Mario was digging in
his flower garden and found two
half-shillings, one of 1788 and
one of 1790. That sparked the
idea of beginning collecting
coins and paper money. The
first year he already had 90
coins from 21 nations.
This Aruban numismatist now
has about 9000 pieces of coins
from 265 countries, present and
past, including some former in-
dependent republics such as
Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Dan-
zig and German East Africa He
has some old coins dating back
to 450 B.C., issued by a Greek
city. Among those of historical
value, Mario has some Bible
coins: (1) the Tribute penny of
Tiberius used between 14 B.C.
to 37 A.D.; (2) the Herod Anti-
pas, in use between 4 B C. to
40 A.D.; and the Lepton by Pon-
tius Pilate, in circulation between

New Office Con

Latest Available
On March 2 a new IBM System
370 Model 135 Computer was
put into operation in the Data
Processing Group in the General
Office Building. The installation
of this computer takes advantage
of the latest technology avail-
able and will make it possible
to run bigger programs than the
old System 360 computer could
handle.
At the time IBM announced
the System 370 line of compu-
ters, the Mathematics Computers
& Systems Division began a
study to determine if it would be
advantageous for Lago to re-
place the old IBM System 360
with a new computer. As a re-
sult of the study, a System 370
computer was ordered from IBM
in July 1971.
Of primary concern to Lago in
considering such a change was
the effort that would be required
to adapt existing programs to
the new computer. In the
changeover from the old com-
puter to the new one, very few

programming changes were ne-
cessary because of preparatory
work completed beforehand.


The System 370 Computer
provides a number of features
and improvements that were not
included in the System 360 line
of computers. These include
compact circuitry which gives
greater reliability and an inter-
nal machine speed about twice
that of the System 360 Model 40.
There are also special adapters
which allow better utilization of
other IBM equipment used with
the computer. In addition, there
are special programs which are
part of the system which cor-
rect errors made by the com-
puter or give messages that help
locate the trouble.
During the next few months
the MCS Division will be evalu-
ating some of the other features
available on the System 370 to
see if including these in our sys-
tem would improve our computer
operations further.

Pa Pregunta: No. 3500


Management Answers Your Questions


0. We want the new pension
plan reopened, so we can
Join it retroactively.
A. The new pension plan is pre-
sently under review and re-
opening of the enrollment
period is also a point of con-
sideration. If you are not par-
ticipating in the Pension Plan
we urge you to join now so
that you will have a lesser
amount to repay if retroactive
participation is approved.

Q. The question we would like
to ask Is this: Does it mean
anything to ask a question
when there Is always a posi-
tive answer on Management's
side and not on the em-
ployee's side?

A. When an employee asks a
question, he does so because
he is seeking information
which he does not have.
Management, in answering
the question, merely supplies
the factual information which
the employee requested.
Sometimes, the answer given
might not be what the em-
ployee had expected, and he
might feel that the answer is
one-sided.

Q. I would like to ask about the
Home Building Foundation.
Who Is the member who ap-
proves the loans? And who
can make use of the available
funds? Recently, I sent in an
application for a loan and It
was refused. I would like to
know why some people get
loans and others don't?

A. Applications for mortgage
loans are reviewed and de-
cided on by the Residential
Mortgage Advisory Commit-
tee. They check the applica-
tion minutely and also the
financial condition of the ap-

Process Men Learn to Use Computer Program to Improve Product Quality


Jacinto Tromp (at left) and Walter Wong are the discussion leaders
for the Inter-Acting Control training program conducted for Process
and other personnel to help improve product quality of Pipestills 5
to 10. Here one of the groups is attending the video-tape session,
followed by a discussion period.

Jacinto Tromp (na robez) y Walter Wong ta e lidernan di discussion
pa e program di training Inter-Acting Control conduct pa personal
di Process y otronan pa yuda mehora calidad di products di Pipe-
stills 5 te 10. Aki uno di e gruponan ta atende e session na video-
tape sigui pa un period di discussion.


A large number of Fuels Div-
ision personnel recently took
part in the Inter-Acting Control
(IAC) training program which is
intended to give participants a
better understanding of a "tool"
to help them improve the qua-
lity of the products leaving Pipe-
stills 5 to 10. The IAC program
operates through the Direct Digi-
tal Control computers 1 & 2 and
a Supervisory computer in the
Refining Controlhouse.
Through the course, the par-
ticipants have an opportunity to
gain more understanding of the
limitations of the IAC program
and to discuss additional chan-
ges to this program that will
improve its utilization.
The program, which is design-
ed to control the units on a 24-
hour basis, manipulates product
rates and tower temperatures as
required for optimum operating
results. Through proper control
of these operating conditions,


the product qualities of these
units can be improved.
The training sessions, which
were given from 4 to 6 p.m. to
groups of about six process per-
sonnel at a time in the GOB
Video Tape Studio, include a 45-
minute presentation on video
tape followed by a discussion
period of more than an hour.
The sessions have already
been given to five groups, while
more sessions are planned for
the remaining Fuels Division em-
ployees, personnel from Techni-
cal-Process Engineering, Mech-
anical Instrumentmen, and MCS-
Control Section personnel. In all,
a total of approximately 60 em-
ployees will follow the IAC pro-
gram. Instructors are Walter
Wong of MCS-Control Section
and Jacinto Tromp of Process-
Fuels Division, who developed
and prepared the training pro-
gram.
