the fourth place player, has a
466 total. Following him are

phy, 482.

what’s so special about Collins?
Unusual career opportunities? Fringe benefits?
Ideal locations? Exciting work? Advancement poten-
tial?
Well, almost every industrial concern can offer
those.
We can show you dozens of photographs of ca-
reer people working at Collins, using the finest
facilities and tools available. But that isn’t the whole
Collins story.
You see, one of our biggest specialities is you.
Your speciality is special at Collins. Every major
engineering breakthrough at Collins can be traced
to an individual specialist or team of specialists.
Which leads to another speciality: state-of-the-art
communication systems. Collins’ record of "firsts”
over the years is an enviable one: single sideband
development, space communication systems, air-
craft all-weather landing systems, high-speed data
communication and message switching networks—
to name a few.
We suggest you contact Collins’ representative
when he’s on campus. And contact your college
placement officer for details.
The rest of the Collins story? We frankly can’t tell
you at this moment.
You’ll be writing it.
