The education obtained here, which has been offered with the purpose of assist- ing you in perpetuating, improving and realizing sig- nificant democratic ideals, has given you many power- ful tools. The collegefs effort of keeping abreast of the rapid changes taking place in the social and industrial life has sharpened these tools and made them ready to be used. 1 As your advisor and friend, I Wish to express my hopes that the educative process has really provided you with those tools which not only Will aid you to adapt yourself to your environment and furnish you With the technical preparation necessary for carn- ing a living, but also will inspire you to think inde- pendently and constructively, to Widen your horizons of intellectual endeavor, cultural interests and recre- ational pursuits. Louis SIMEONE We Dedicate . During the past four yearsI have become Well acquainted with most of you, and the association has been to me most pleasant. In your stay at college, I sincerely hope that you have gained the knowledge you have sought and that it will help you materially in the years to come. While you are leaving us in a time of turmoil, We all believe that in time conditions will be improved and the true American standard of living will prevail. I Wish you all a very happy and prosperous future. VVILLIAINI H. WINGATE FACULTY A Message rom the President The keynote of the commencement address in 1951 was g'Making Tracksf, This yearbook is a record of some of the atracksn which you have had a part in making. It will be the means, in the years to come, of recalling them. The Alumni of the Institute can help to insure its continued progress by spreading information about the high quality of educa- tional opportunity to be found right here in Fall River, Massachusetts. You can point with real satisfaction to alumni who are successfully pursuing graduate studies, who are in responsible positions in industry, or who are successful in the field of education. Many of them were in college with you. Some are your own classmates. Bricks and mortar, a new science building, new equipment, even a highly competent staff does not necessarily make a strong institution. True, they are all an important part of the picture as a whole. In the final analysis, however, it is you, the alumni, who are the deciding factor. aBy their deeds ye shall know themf, How very truel So I give you this one last word. Carry on to the very best of your ability in order that your alma mater may continue to grow in usefulness to America-the land we all love so well. Maze Q SM-mg. DR. JAMES WATTERS 8.S., M.S., Sc.D.

DAVOL A.B., M.A. . Clerk - Stenographer Senior Class History Three years and eight months ago, we the Class of 1952, brought forth upon this institute, the largest freshman class ever to enroll as degree-seeking students, conceived in educa- tion, and dedicated to the proposition that all men will be of greater service to their country, armed not with guns, but armed with know- ledge with which to help their fellow men live more comfortably in peace. U Now we are engaged in the great struggle of receiving that knowledge, testing whether we, or any other college students, ,ao conceived and so dedicated, can long endure and emerge triumphant with the education received in that struggle. Soon we will gather to honor those men anal Women who have conqiierecl the fun- damental concepts of their studies. It is alto- gether fitting and proper that we do this, for of the one hundred and ten freshmen enrolled in the class of 52 , there remain only fifty-one to he so honored. Future classes will little note, nor long re- member what we said here, but they can never forget what we have done here, The class of 52 has consecrated its past, far above the poor powers of those who follow to add to or detract from their illustrious achievements. Never again may a class claim the distinction of being the first class to enroll in the Insti- tute, knowing that at the conclusion of their four year course of studies they would receive the Bachelor of Science Degree. Future classes may gain prestige in many ways, but never in claiming to be the inaugurators of the intra- mural bowling league, started by members of this class in October 1949, or the tennis team, started in March 1950, or the fencing team, started in February 1950. It is for these fu- ture classes to dedicate themselves to building upon these things which We have thus far so nobly advanced. For we, the Class of 52 , the great task re- maining is to dedicate ourselves to taking our positions in the industrial world, and to aid the Institute, that these aforementioned deeds shall not have been accomplished in vain.

It was a week filled with exams and the business of getting acquainted with the people who were to make up our class for the next four years. We met our advisors, listened to the rules of the school wand perspired through the classification test given on a. warm September afternoon. The usual confusion surrounded us as we tried to find our classrooms and get our program settled. Fraternity rushing came after the exams and the fellows who joined went through their few days hazing. May came and our final exams. VVe successfully breezed through these and looked forward to our summer vacation and a season on the beach. Our sophomore year found us with a new addition on the campus, Per1'y's Hi- Class restaurant. It was the meeting place for all of us in the morning, for a. cup of his famous coffee, and all during the day when the schedule permitted. 4:2071 Pr 0 X J f Qi There was a dark cloud hanging over our head this year, for the war in Korea had started. Some of the class heeded the call to the colors and enlisted, while the rest of us waited for the draft or tried to get into a reserve unit. We were all in our vnarious departments this year and getting an idea of the work we would be doing for the rest of our working lives. Junior year found us upper classmen at last. Our ranks had dwindled however, and some of the familiar faces were no longer present. This year many of our members are in the clubs and on the athletic teams of the school. The shower room singers have a chance to use their voices in the glee club that was formed this year. We now look forward to a successful year hoping that peace returns to the world thereby making our education a little more secure. Sophomore Class f 4? . In the month of September, 1950, there gathered together t'or the first time the class of '54. Sixty strong, we were to take our first exam of any sort within the walls of Durfee Tech-the first of a long line of exams. This pre-entrance test was a type familiar to most and soon we were officially freshmen. Our books bought and tuitions paid, we were off and running. As usual there were anumber of bewildered 'frosh' unable to link the right room with the right class at the right time. Then the inevitable changes came about. VVe learned which classes could be gotten to late and which could not. XVe found out where to loaf during breaks , where to study, when the rough classes rolled around-in short we settled into a routine that lasted until the final exams. With the end of the first semester we were past the halt'-way mark. The mid- year's had left us with that glassy look but we recovered rapidly and moved into the home-stretch. By now everything was familiar and we knew just about everybody's first or last or nickname. VVe held a meeting to elect class officers and put in Gerald VVhite as President, Paul Parente as Vice-President. Dorothy Zebrasky as Secretary and Stan Sieczkowski as Treasurer. The second half of the year seemed to go hy rather quickly. XVe did some orating, memorized more dates, equations, and formulas-which we forgot far too easily-drew more pictures and suffered under all those hardships students everywhere endure, such as cramming and hour quizzes that take two hours to do. A At the advent of that second year .1 total of thirty-five showed up for registration. Again the grind started-this time sooner and rougher. VVe were divided up into groups of chemists, artists, and engineers. ln these little groups the members became closer friends because there selves, as are all 'sophs'. Time rolled by and again we elected oft'icers. I ji Tom McCloskey as President had Dot Zebrasky to help him, Jesse Martin ' to count money and Bill Marsden as scribe. Once again the class was l represented in all sports. Our big figure in school politics, Miss Zebrasky, was elected nas secretary to the Athletic and Social I'nion. Tests followed one another in rapid succession until all of a sudden Christmas was here again with its blessed two-week vacation. The mid-year's followed, new courses undertaken culminated by the almighty finals which ended our year with hopeful beings. was a common foe to be met. XVe were more worldly and sure of our- ! , .. . :W hs , .V --f 3 l Freshman Class The Freshman year of the class of 1955 constituted one of the smallest enrollments at Bradford Durfee Technical Institute for a number of years. Most of the students were from Fall River and its surrounding area, a few ventured to us from distant places asg New York, Connecticut, Illinois, Rhode Island, and Tela, Honduras. fN at 'l FE FW .D ul 55 ix sf is The freshmen have yet to make their mark fully in these hallowed halls at Tech, but have already made their presence felt in the clubs and fraternities on the campus, on the athletic field, and by scholastic diligence. Evidence of our spirit is the forthcoming freshman dlance, something never before undertaken by a Freshman Class. The class officers, who were elected on February 6, 1952, are: President . .. . . Edward F. Mello Vice-President . . . . Edward Stone Secretary . . . . . Barbaara Buffo Treasurer . . . . . . Lawrence Hathaway R t Engineering Society The Engineering Society, now in its fourth year of existence, has great promise of becoming one of the leading organizations at Durfee Tech. Through this body, all engineers of the school are consolidated in the further study and promotion of practical engineering. At monthly meetings, lectures and movies provide valuable information upon the many operations in the engineering field. Friendly discussions insure harmony- nan essential criterion in both industry and society. Among the aims of the group are included the development of the student's initiative, the encouragement of research, and the advancement of engineering, 4 A. A. T. C. C. The date April 12, 1948 was .21 milestone in the career of B. D. T. I. as the student chapter of the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists was accepted by the parent organization, as a full fledged member. During the early months of 1948, a small group of students banded together and through the concerted efforts of all, the chapter was formed. 'ii'hen through the continuous work of Mr. Wingate and the student members, the chapter has grown to be one of the largest organizations at B. D. T. I. A student benefits by being a member in the following ways: HJ he receives journals published by the association pertaining to all the new advancements in the textile world, 125 he gains the privilege to go to student, sectional and national meetings of the association, 133 he has the privilege to use the assot-iation's employment bureau: and Q45 he has a chance to do research in textiles and to present his findings at the yearly national convention. In the past four years, the association has heard lectures given by important men in the industry: shown moyies about textiles: and held a yearly banquet in conjunction with the American Chemical Society. ln the years '50 and '51, groups of members went to the national conventions at New Hampshire 1nd New York. ln l950, Robert L4-Brun, a former student, won a portable radio for guessing the amount of Calcium Chloride particles contained in a dessieator. Vnfortunately in '51, no one was very good at guessing. The present officers are: Norman XYeinstein, Chairman: Edward Macuch, Secretary: Edward Lavagnino, Treasurer: and Mr. VVillif:1in VVingate, Faculty Advisor. X A merican Chemical Society The student affiliates of the American Chemical Society was incorporated at the Bradford Durfee Technical Institute in 1949, for the purpose of uniting students pursuing a course in chemistry leading to a bachelor of science degree. The A. C. S. which is the largest organization of its kind devoted to a single science, has made it possible for undergraduate students of chemistry to enjoy some of the benefits of membership in the society. The objects of the A. C. S. are to encourage in the broadest and most liberal manner the advancement of chemistry in all its branches, and to promote scientific interest and inquiry by means of its meetings, professional contacts, reports, paper I discussions and publications. wg Members and afliliates regularly receive the A. C. S. publication Chemical and Engineering News, which keeps them abreast of current happenings in the chemical world. During the academic year, regular meetings were held by the stu- dent affiliafes at the Fall River Public Library through the courtesy 'X i- ' K of the head librarian and at the school library. Some of the meetings 5 . y were devoted entirely to business matters while the majority consisted ' I fe of lectures by prominent executives in the field of chemistry. Some 'J . of the speakers who addressed the members were Dr. Karl A. Holst . who spoke on The Chemistry of the Sodium Polyphosphate Glasses, and Mr. Raymond VV. Jacoby who discussed an important aspect of 'N E chemistry. In December many of the members traveled to M. I. T. where they attended the annual meeting and banquet of the Northeastern Section of the A. C. S. In early May an excellent banquet was sponsored jointly by the A. C. S. and the A. A. T. C. C. and was enjoyed by all who attended. With this banquet the years activities of the A. C. S. came to a fruitful end. Cosmo olitan Club The Cosmopolitan Club was organized in the fall of 1946 by at group of foreign and native students. In keeping with its name and foresight of its pioneers, the eluh continues to have considerable success in establishing friendly relations among mem- bers. Its activities have included talks by its members on the culture of the nationalities they represent, motion pictures on topics leading to a unified world and regular dinner parties at outstanding restaurants featuring the national dishes of the countries represented by the members. This year the club is represented by students from Honduras, France, Israel, Portugal, Nigeria and the United States. In the recent past members have come from Greece, Burma, China, Peru, Puerto Rico, 'Turkey and Pakistan. The faculty advisors .are Mr. Louis Simeone and Mr. Vl'alter J. Cass.

Alethea Sta The aim of the 1952 Alethea has been not only to set down the important events of interest, but through the extensive use of color and more informal pictures with descriptive captions to inject into its pages some of the casual moments that if not permanently recorded would escape one's memory. VVe have tried to capture the importance of the 1951-52, year in the history of Bradford Durfee Technical Institute and to grasp the spirit of change which has dominated the Institute. ldditor-in-Chief . . .

The Soccer and Basketball teams, for example, under faculty coaches, displayed more spirit and team play than has been seen in some time. The Varsity Club consists of athletes who have won letters in one or more of the three major sportsg Baseball, Basketball, or Soccer. The purpose of the club is to provide sweaters, award letters, and pri- marily to stimulate and encourage sports at Tech. Fourteen sweaters were awarded this year and the unusually large Freshman Class seems to indicate that this number is on the increase. The annual Thanksgiving Day rlaffle proved to be a tremendous financial success in fulfilling the club's desire to be entirely self- supporting. This having been accomplished, the 1952 Varsity Club has successfully fulfilled its obligations and purposes. OFFICERS President ...... .... E rnest Howarth Vice-President ..... .....

Mr. William Wingate For the past four years the Athletic and Social Union has guided and directed all student activities. During our years at Tech., we have seen the inception of the tennis, fencing, and bowling teams, the forma- tion of a glee club, and the inauguration of an intramural basketball league, through the A. and S. U's efforts. In addition, continued support of the three major athletic teams was ladministered. These achievements alone show the Union has done its job, and lmder the guidance of its faculty advisor, Mr. VVingate, the student elected officers have done their share. f This year's officers were composed of two seniors, Cornelius M1u'phy, president, Henry Reis, representative at largcg one junior, Robert Kenyon, vice-president: and one sophomore, Dorothy Zebrasky, secretary.

FACULTY ADVISOR Mr. Kenneth Tedford PRESIDENT Menelaos Yankopoulos VICE PRESIDENT Myrbeth Weldon SECRETARY - TREASURER Carolyn Brownell Student Council The Student Council is the governing body of the Student Association and it is elected by the Association. The Council consists of the following members: the presi- dent of each of the undergraduate classes: a representative of each of the departments, elected by the students of the departments: and a representative-at-large elected by the student body. The purpose of the Council is to represent the interests of the student body of the Institute and to take any action that is necessary to preserve or further these interests. Among its other duties, the Council has supervisory powers over all undergraduate school-sponsored activities and organizations which are competitively open to any student. Since the academic year began, the Council has been drawing up a Constitution suitable to both the Faculty and the Student Association. In the Fall of 1950, a meeting of all the undergraduates of Tech was held and at this meeting, the Student Council was formally begun. Robert Staples was the first president and under his able leadership the Council began functioning. The primary goal of this first Student Council was to write the Constitution. Although its objective was not fully reached, it did compile the important groundwork necessary for future Councils to work upon. Aiding the efforts of the Council in the capacity of faculty advisor is Dr. D. Alexander Severino. At present, the members of the Council are: ' I Q X Senior Class President .........................

Roger Sherman L si Phi Psi Fraternity was founded by live students of the Philadelphia College of Textile Engineering on March 18, 1903. In 1905 the fraternity was incorporated under the laws of the state of Pennsylvania. Delta. Chapter here at B.D.T.I. was organized in 1909. Other chapters in addition to Alpha at Philadelphia are Beta, New Bedford Textile, Gamma, Lowell Textileg Eta, North Carolina State, Theta, Georgia Tech, Iota, Clemsong Kappa, Texas Techg and Lambda, Alabama Polytech. The aims of the fraternity are to promote good fellowship, social gatherings, mutual advancement of its members, and the art of textile manufacturing. Phi Psi has the distinction of being the largest and most respected textile fraternity in the world. Delta Chapter exempliiies this by attempting to promote harmony among all school factions. ' In the past school year the fraternity has sponsored two smokers, one held in November for non-fraternity students which met with great success, and another held in the Spring for potential members. A National Convention is held annually. This year's convention will deal largely with the coming gala 50th Anniversary to be cele- brated in Philadelphia. Each year Beta, Gamma, and Delta. Chapters meet in Boston for the conferring of the 'Third Degree' on their new brothers. This occasion gives all members both old and new as Well as honorary, the opportunity to meet and get to know each other. The meeting also presents the further opportunity of exchanging ideas and views with men prominent in the textile field. The fraternity's heart was greatly saddened this year with the passing of Harold Hart, one of its original founders. His ceaseless efforts towards the promotion of our ideals will ever be remembered. Although the fraternity was largely dormant during the war years due to small classes, it has succeeded to grow in post-war years not only at B. D. T. I. but on a national basis to its present membership of 2900. OFFICERS President Roger A. Sherman Secretary Joseph H. Murphy Vice President Louis Fayan Senior Warden Joseph D. Raposa.

Rapoza Epsilon Phi Pi 'VTX f 9' i , I ' ' H' .H :PQ . gy The school year 1950-51 was the brightest in the maturing Epsilon Phi Pi Society. A consistent attendance at meetings and gatherings throughout the year attested to the loyalty and high degree of interest the members offered to the organization. The Epsilon Phi Pi Fraternity, a non-sectarian professional fraternity was organized at the Bradford Durfee Technical Institute in 1949, and became chartered in the state of Massachusetts the same year. The ideals of freedom, fidelity, and friendship are the cornerstones upon which the fraternity is organized. Anti-discriminaf tion and anti-hypocracy are the columns, which support the canopy of brotherhood and true democracy. A brief glance at the record reveals unquestionable progress of the fraternity, typical of its dynamic approach as indicated in the charter. The efforts of the twenty charter members were realized in a very short time. In two years the mem- bership had more than doubled, even though the educational require- ments were increased. The third and fourth years were significant in that greater increases of membership were noted, with heartening in- dication that Epsilon Phi Pi rolls would continue to swell as the years progressed. VVell organized meetings of a professional nature with lively discussions and group participation in activities made every member an active one. Men of high calibre in the educational, professional and busineSs fields are honorary members-each deserve commendation for the support and genuine interest that they have displayed in the frater- nity. The officers: Chancellor, Norman lieisg Vice Chancellor, Cornelius Murphy, Bursar, John Rogers, Scribe, John Murray 3rd. Pledgemaster Norman VVeinStein, and Historian John Burkett deserve a UXYELI. DONE in promoting unity and leadership. Beta chapter at the Philadelphia Textile Institute is a thriving reality, while Gamma Chapter appears as a not too distant possibility. Interest and inquiries about the fraternity from other colleges is in- dicative of' healthy progress. lt is through growth that the attainment of the ideals of the founders of Epsilon Phi Pi lfraternity rest, while progress in itself is a measure of the success of those ideals. Kappa Sigma Phi Functioning .as a fraternal organization since May of 1950, the Gamma Chapter of the Kappa Sigma Phi under the guidance of Mrs. Rudolph LaVault as the advisor has held unswervingly to its purpose with a firm and resolute determination. The sorority strives with a fervent endeavor to combine in Qfraternityy women of like interests and ambitions in the textile field with a common desire for the exchange of knowledge and encouragement of fine ideals and sincerity. Although the activities of the sorority have been constrained during the past year due to the increasingly small number of active members, the organization has sponsored many social affairs and educational lectures. Among these were a teia held for all non-sorority girls, a. raffle with the aim to aid in sending a representative to a Grand Council meeting at Philadelphia Textile Institute, and a formal installation banquet given at the Hotel Mellen. Culminating the activities of the year, the sorority had the honor of installing the Delta Chapter at the New Bedford Textile Institute. The desire to bring together, in a fraternal atmosphere, women of similar ambitions serves as a great medium of enblazing upon their minds in indelible characters their experiences, both scholastic and social, at this institute.

Joan Seifert Bowling League lv , . l. 4.. flhe Durfee Tech Bowling League, now in its fourth season, has for its purpose the provision of recreation for students and faculty members. The elected officers arrange the schedule, plan a banquet and tabulate results for the purpose of awarding prizes. A trophy is given to the league champions, cash awards to the high single and high three. For the iirst time a Booby prize will be presented to the one who with faultless effort knocks down the least number of pins. Awards are also presented to teams with the high one game total and high three game total. The awards :are presented to the individuals by Athletic Director, Mr. William Wingate. At the conclusion of the speeches by Mr. VVingate and the Officers, new officers .are elected for the next year. A pleasant feature, which has been in existence two years, is the addition of an all-girl team into the league. The girls provided with a 20 pin per string handicap, assure a threat to any team in the league and affords stiff competition. Another feature, is the provision of handi- caps during the second half. This makes for better balance and a more closely fought race during the remaining half. The league, although in its infancy, is providing another excellent form of extra-curricular activity for B. D. T. I. Fencing , 1 ,QQ A ni In gal' Coach Eugene R. Williams guides a group which tries to recapture some of the glsamour, the romalfce, the sheer excitement and pleasure of the old-time fight for blood with none of the real danger. The cavaliers of Durfee Tech - the d'Artagnons of Durfee Street are finding that the sword is not something to place over the mantle but a weaapon to be used for self-preservation. Also it is used as protection against a white clad duelist intent on running you through with thirty-five 4353 inches of cold steel, trying to outwit you to score a touch. It is hardly possible to divorce the sport of Fencing from the grim business it once was. Without the canvas padding, heavy masks, and tipped weapons, one would suffer the penalty for a slip or lack of practice by receiving fa slit forearm, a hacked neck, or a. hole in the chest, all real touches. Even with the loss of many of the members from last year, this year started with a good turnout and a lot of enthusiasm in the preparation for the matches of February and March. Led by Co-captains Harold Isserlis and Joseph Murphy, coach Williams' three weapon team QFoil, Epee, and Sabrej met this season in intercollegiate competition the var- sity teams of M. I. T., Boston University, University of Connecticut, and Clark University, land the freshman teamiof Harvard University, the last being held in Fall River. Many of the team members in addition to fencing in intercollegiate competition joined along with coach Williams in the Amateur Fencers 'of America and had an opportunity to enter individual competition with some of the best fencers in the country. Visitors, members-to-be, anyone may come to the Salle d'Armes on the third floor of the Y.M.C.A. and watch the activity, join the group, and have fun.

Courtney Reed, Franklin Raposa, Frank Labounty, Marshall David Soccer The 1951 soccer season has shown a highly improved Tech team. VVith very few veterans at hand, Coach Lou Simeone started the season losing to Bridgewater State Teachers College in the closing minutes of the game. The next two Saturdays saw the blue-jacketed engineers lose another pair of close games to New England College and Rhode Island College of Education, respectively. Play was more systematic in these tussles, but did not exclude individuality, class, aggressiveness or control. These factors led the squad to its first victory over Bridgewater on the Tech home field, by the score of 3 to 1. The seasons worst defeat for the booters was suffered at the hands of a very strong New Bedford Textile squad, led by a talented group of South Americans. Vindication came for the team from Tech in the return match which ended in a. tie, This was indeed the crowning accomplishment of the 1951 season and in some measures made up for only a mediocre season. Fresh from this moral victory, the Techites travelled to Boston to meet the Suffolk University squad and turned in a smooth performance in downing the Hubmen. The seasons finals saw St. George's of Newport resoundingly overwhelmed by the engineers. It is somewhat diflicult to single out any individual stars. However, Nesri Salamon, the freshman ball juggler from Central America, who carried with him all the equipment of a fine athlete, was the high scorer for the season. Everest Correa was outstanding in his function as team captain. Complete team roster: Seniors-Shlomo Rosenbaum, Doc Sherman, Alan Sussman, Halter Rak, Ray Hryciw, Joe Raposa, Ev Arnold, Dana Binkoff, Nell Murphy, Ev Correa. Juniors-Jim Curtis, Bob Kenyon. Sophomores- Paul Parente. Freshmen-Nesri Salamon, Don Halforth, Dave Hathaway, Marshal David, Al Champoux. Managers-Ed Levell, Ernest Howarth. Basketball With three varsity men graduated last year Coach John Greenhalgh had to depend upon his three veterans, Neil Murphy, Emmett O'Neil and Joe Gardella, for the back- bone of his 1951-52 squad. The coach a firm believer in hard work and a-ggressiveness, chose for his tewam only those who demonstrated these qualities through the Weeks of strenuous practice. The team was represented by only two members of this year's graduating class, in the persons of Co-captains Neil Murphy and Emmett O'Neil. A most pleasent suprise was the presence of talented freshman, who composed two-thirds of the start- ing iive, and offers pleasing memories in years to come. Neil Murphy led all scorers with an overall total of 218 points. Emmett O'Neil came next with 158, followed by Joe Gardella 148, Jeff 0'Brien 105, Al White 102, and Dean Crook 88. The highlights of the season were victories over the rival Textile 3-3 record in league play.

Amprozyme does two jobs better, faster and cheaper. It eliminates the guess work from de-sizing by digest- ing either starches or proteins, or both, at the same time and in the same operation. If the size is starch, Amprozyme's emylolytic enzymes go right to work. If a protein size is present, its proteolytic enzymes start attacking. Amprozyme insures rapid and com- plete de-sizing of cottons, rayons, and mixed goods, resulting in Ia good hand and uniform ground for per- fect dyeing, without streaks or shading. Amprozyme eliminates the necessity for two different agents or two separate operations, thus reducing storage, han- dling, and shipping costs. It can be utilized at normal or elevated dyebox temperatures, in a wide pH range. Amprozyme also remains staable longer. Detailed in- formation and a sample for a test run are available upon request.
