[Collins] Collins 718T

[Glen Zook]

The engineering, as far as I know, on the amateur line
was still being done in Cedar Rapids.  However, the
Industrial Design group was assigned to do the cabinet
design.  Since that group really didn't "fit" in any
of the regular Collins engineering sections it was
assigned as the 13th CCU of Process Division in
Richardson.

Process Division, at least in the 1967 through 1969
time frame when I was employed by Collins Radio, was
primarily responsible for the manufacture of circuit
boards, thin films, and thick films.  Also, the Dallas
Region Photography Laboratory was assigned to Process
Division (was on the main floor of Building 402). 
Harry Passman was the vice president of Process
Division during that time.

I saw several designs in working paper and conceptual
diagrams and proposed packaging drawings in Cedar
Rapids in 1963/4. Ham gear support and engineering was
still in CID as far as I knew when I left Richardson
at the end of the summer of 1966.
