Stansbarger, is Northrop’s manager for the Factory of the Future division, said the future factory concept combimes the use of robots and lightweight graphite in the construction of airplanes. Graphite, in one form, is the soft black carbon in lead pencils. But treated differently, it is a lightweight, strong, tensile material that can be formed and cut like fabric and used for air plane skins. “It is half the weight and three times as strong and as stiff * * * * * Inchon 7:25-9:50 * * Bambi 7:10 9:40 {MANOR EAST HIJ; Manor E.

He said the factory is turning out rudder parts and horizontal stabilizers for the F-18 fighter. The fighter, produced by Northrop and McDonnell Douglas Corp., is now 9 percent graphite, and Stansbarger said he thinks by 1985 it will be 25 percent graphite and eventually 60 percent graphite. The idea of the robot assem bly line came about as Stansbar ger struggled with the problem of imcorporating non-metallic materials into airplane design. “I always dreamed of an air plane that was 60 percent graphite in weight,” he said. “We started in 1967 working to wards that goal.” Northrop found it could not produce on a cost-competitive basis by hand techniques, he said. So, it purchased a facility from Rockwell International in late 1978. * * * + .

The Morrisons are deaf. “Because the incidence of deafness is so small (one per 1,000), deaf kids rarely get to see deaf adults,” saiys William Pahle, the programs acting director. “At the present time, none of our students have deaf parents. They really don’t know what a deaf adult is.” Morrison, 31, and his wife, 26, met eight years ago at a school conference for the deaf and were married in 1979. Both read lips, wear hearing aids and use sign language. His deafness resulted from a wwm '-M SI off tee T-Shirts Sweatshirts 13 oz. Bar Glasses Lined Windbreakers Caps nerve problem.
