On March 15, 1981, Tracey Bradley interviewed George Cichoski (born 1939 in New Kensington, PA) about the roles and functions of the Cumorah Credit Union, which served members of the Mormon Church. Cichoski first talks about the development of the credit union, the effects of the change from federal to state charters and those advantages, and the overall function of a credit union in general. Cichoski also discusses the Financial Institutions Act and its effects on credit unions, the innovative services that credit unions would need to adopt to retain their members, and what he believes will be in store for the future of credit unions.

Men and women in the Hughes Laboratory Machine Shop are devoted to the building of full-scale test models of rock bits, tool joints and other drilling tools for laboratory and field testing. In connection with the latter, the shop is equipped to manufacture these tools in sufficient quantities to make possible extensive and simultaneous field trials. The machine shop handles a large amount of work for Research, Product and Metallurgical Engineering divisions. This includes building new designs, new mechanisms and new devices for preliminary testing.
