In each of thesegroups, the work ranges from long termexploratory development to scheduledspecific development and design of prod-ucts for manufacture. In fundamental development, futureneeds and limitations guide the selectionand application of new research knowl-edge. Success depends upon the judg-ment and imagination of its people inspotting long term goals and couplingthem with relevant research sequence is ended when technicalfeasibility of a new material, device orsystem is demonstrated and quantitativeunderstanding is achieved. In specific development and design,the development is carried much furtherin technical detail but, most importantly,it must result in a which meets not. Life test on submarine cable electron tubesis an example of BTL development nork. only specific technical requirements butalso economic objectives of cost and re-liability as well. The output of this phaseof work is a manufacturable design of adevice or system which meets all of itsperformance and economic objectives—at the right time. In specific development, therefore,most projects must be scheduled on acarefully planned team basis, carefullybudgeted for manpower and time. Sched-uling of development is vital in orderthat the work of BTL engineers can becoordinated with that of Western Elec-tric engineers responsible for preparationfor manufacture. By telescoping theseactivities the time between start of de-velopment and start of manufacture isreduced substantially. To accomplishthis there are a number of branch labora-tories at various Western Electric close cooperation feeds back in-formation to BTL on the state of the art 12 of manufacturi
