Optimists Honor Briefs
The Baytown BRIEFS was honored last Monday night when it was
presented a Certificate of Appreciation by members of the Optimist
Club of Baytown at a meeting celebrating the 40th Anniversary of
Optimist International. The certificate was awarded to BRIEFS for
sports coverage, especially teen-age baseball, which it has given dur-
ing the past season. It reads: “In appreciation for devoted and unsel-
fish service to the welfare of the Community, State, and Nation . . .
and for the support and co-operation so generously given to the
cause of Optimism.” W. A. Read, who edits the sports page for
BRIEFS, is shown above, left, receiving the certificate from Dr. A. P.
Shaddix, Optimist Club president, who presented it on behalf of
Optimist Club members. Read, who devotes much of his time to
publicizing all local sports events in which employees and their fam-
ilies participate, is aided by plant photographers who furnish the
outstanding pictures seen each week on the Sports Page.

1000th T-Man
To Receive
Emblem Today
A well-known Humble number,
and a history-making milestone
in service emblem presentations
will be features of the watch
presentations to be held at Com-
munity Building No. 1 at 3:30
this afternoon.
Somewhere in the group of
16 Baytown men to be honored
will be recipient No. 997—a fig-
ure which needs no explanation
among Humble employees. Then,
three watches, later, the 1,000th
Baytown employee to be honored
upon completion of three decades
of service with Humble will re-
ceive his 30-year gifts—a watch
of his own choosing, and a dia-
mond-studded lapel emblem.
Special recognition will be
given to the double-barreled ac-
complishment by Assistant Man-
ager H. H. Meier, who will pre-
side at the ceremonies. The
1,000th T-man will represent 30,
000 years of service for which
Baytown employees have been
honored at the special ceremonies
held each month.
This month’s T-men are: H.
H. McClary, CLEU; R. W.
Skains and F. Valero, Treaters;
A. V. Jones and J. K. May, Butyl;
A. R. Knox and A. M. Howell,

Pulse Code System
Can Detect Errors
(Continued from Page 1)
system controlled from No. 1
Pump House, located at the North
Gate.
A system is composed of basic
electronic equipment in three dif-
ferent locations. The first is a re-
ceiver, which includes a selector
dial and indicator panel, located
on a unit or pump house control
panel.
A second piece of equipment
is a field selector station, which
is as near as possible to the cen-
ter of the area in which tanks on
the system are located.
The selector is an intermediate
point between the receiver and
equipment located at each tank.
This equipment includes a lank
float and a tape which position a
coded disc located in the tank’s
transmitter. The transmitter sends
desired information back to the
receiver in the form of electrical
pulses, which are converted to
feet-and-inches for the conven-
ience of the operator.
Due to the unique arrange-
ment of the code, the receiver
can sense whether the complete
signal has been received, and can
thus detect false signals. If the
signal isn’t complete, the word
“error” appears on the panel
above the reading.
