Numbers
of companies interested in acquiring Polychrome 1 By Mr. Bob Gumbinner
A
number of companies tried to acquire Polychrome. Mr. Halpern was
flattered by this and let them think he was open to selling
Polychrome. I visited a number of such companies. One was Fairchild
Semi- conductor who showed us their plant on Long island where they
were making the silicon crystals for IC chips by the boat process.
Another was Itek who brought us to their plant in Lexington, MA, and
entertained us.
Another
was a company hat coated paper and had a plant in Charlotte, NC and
also one in Wales, England. I took a train from London to visit this
plant near Chester and saw the Roman walls that were still standing.
Then I took the train to Glasgow to a station where I changed to a
one car railroad train that went over the hills to Berwick.
