that's what the University Pu
Established two years ago
cated behind Preston.
"We buy goods for all of tI
sity," said Anne Durham, manager
of purchasing and supply. After
the respective department heads
requisition materials, the Purchas
ing Office then buys them and has
them delivered. The department
heads sign for the materials and
the bills are sent to the University I
treasurer. Most of these goods are
bought from wholesalers.
Process Saves Money
This process saves money as
most of the buying is in large lots.
It also provides a way to keep up
with the stock. Since January the
Purchasing Office has handled 4,
525 purchase orders.
Before the present Purchasing
Office was set up in February
1954, all of the buying was handled
through the treasurer's office.
There was no way to keep an ade
quate account of the stock under
this system, Miss Durham said.
White mice, pigs and frogs for
the biology department are fre
quently bought through the Pur
chasing Office.
Handles M aintenance Supplies
A great deal of the materials
hand!ed by the office are mainte
nance suppllies. Electrical, plumb
ing andl cleaning supplies are lo
catedl in three rooms which closely
.gresemble a hardware store. The
office also p)rovides for the up-keep
of the University trucks and sta
Lion wagons.
Recently the office took over two
add(ition al rooms formerly occupied
b)y the Duplicating Office. There
are also two large rooms apart
from the main office which house
both new and old furniture.
A graduate of this school, Miss
Durham has been employed at the
University for 13 years. At the in
sistence of a friend employed at
the University she consented to
take a "part time" job here and
Sshe has been here evc& since.
Purchasing Association Member
Miss Durham holds the distine
tin) of being the only female mem
ber of the Columbia Purchasing
Agents Association made up of city
p)urchasing agents.
In addition to Miss Durham are
II. V. Richardson, warehouseman;
Iva Bane, secretary; Jimmy Myers,
student assistant and a janitor.
The Purcehasing Office also deco
rates spe'aker stands and attendsI
to arrangements for graduation.
"We are always in search of garnet
___ and black ribbons for these occa
sions," said Miss D)urham.

Use of the transistor in Bell telephones
Shown here are the parts of the small amplifying unit in
Western Electric's new Volume Control Telephone.
Because of the use of a transistor (shown above, extreme
left on index finger) this amplifying unit is no larger than an
ice euhe and can fit inside the housing of a standard telephone.
Manufacturing of transistors on a commercial basis represents
a solid engineering achievement . . . for it means volume
production of an item that m-st be made under rigidly
controlled laboratory conditions. For example, harmful
impurity atoms in the germanium must he reduced to less than
I for every 10,000,000,000 germanium atoms and then
helpful impurity atoms added until there is approximately
1 for every 50,000,000 germanium atoms. VOLUME CONTROL TELEPHONE:
A mist ,r t con:!- 1 t~)h IlK CI ,ses
Western Electric has been making transistors since 1951 listening '('lr,c .. n i) those
when our engineers set up the first commercial production who have ditticult% he,ri ng.
line. This history-making achievcment is representative of the
way we work as the manufacturing unit of the
Bell System . . . translating Bell System designs and inventions
into the many things - from tiny semi-conductors to
huge switching systems - used in the nationw ide
Bell telephone network.
It's a job that presents an unending challenge to our
engineering staff. MNU'ACrURING AND SUPPLY UNIT OF THE Bil. SYSTEM
