POLYCHROME
People 3 As recalled by Bob Gumbinner
Ed
Fritz: He had been a Vice-President of Enco, a subsidiary of
Kalle Germany who had invented the negative and positive diazos used
as the sensitizers for the plates. Mr. Halpern let him make changes
in our production processes. These changes resulted in a loss of
three-quarters of a million dollars in defective plates. When I was
allowed to check up on Ed Fritz, I found that he had been the sales
manager and had never been involved with the manufacturing. He was
let go by Enco because of excessive drinking.
Leon
Katz: He was appointed a Vice President and research director.
He had been a Vice President of GAF. He did not set up or direct our
research. When I checked with some of the GAF personnel, they were
unable to tell me of any contributions for which he was responsible.
(One of his contribution was the suggestion to use amphoteric surfactant in our developer, till then we had not investigated the use of this fourth kind of surfactant after anionic, cationic and nonionic. The amphoteric surfactant have both anionic and cationic properties and we have since then used this extensively in our developer system......sorry too much technical stuff! Ken)
