Abstract :
The electronics industry in 1964 will achieve another record sales year with gains totaling some $1 billion above 1963, but the rate of growth will be slowed by an anticipated leveling-off in electronics spending by the government, the encroachment of imports in some market areas, and tightening competition for domestic sales outlets. This was the prediction of Dr. Harper Q. North, of Thompson Ramo Wooldridge Inc., and president of the Electronic Industries Association, in his address to the society´s Fall Conference in Boston on September 24.
