Day said non-regutated industry got an average return of about twice that of Michigan Bell.

The airlines, he pointed out, now serve only 10 per cent of all the nation's airports. This will keep the business-aircraft industry growing, he said. Beech is one of the three leading producers of business-executive planes.

6t end of New York Stock Continental Motors Corporation and consolidated subsidiaries, Wisconsin Motor Corporation and Gray Marine Motor Company, had net sales of $139,946,152 in the year ended October 31, 1959, compared with net sales of $131,415,279 in the previous fiscal year. Net operating earnings were $2,637,475 In 1959, compared with netfcperating earnings of $2,523,032 in 1958. (The reported 1958 net earnings of $3,536,528 included refunds of, and overprovisions for, federal taxes on income of previous years, in the amount of $1,013,496.) Branch and distributor operations were highly successful, showing gains over 1958. The company also added to the number and diversity of its manufacturing customers. On August 1, Continental Motors purchased the Governor Division of the Novi Equipment Company, Novi, Michigan, to assure continuity of supply of the component which that company had provided.

This facility has since been operating as the Governor Division of Continental Motors. It was possible to meet customers' revised delivery schedules out of inventory accumulated prior to the steel strike, but production and delivery schedules, and profits, were adversely affected in the final four months of the year. More than 125,000 miles have oeen accumulated to date by the LDS-427 Hypercycle engine, in standard 2lHon military trucks in military testing. Three of the Military Standard air-cooled engines developed jointly by the Corps of Engineers and Continental Motors are now in production, and three more are rearing the production stage. The Aircraft Engine Division expects to register Increased sales in 1960, as a result of added models and new customer installations.

The Continental system of fuel Injection has proved highly successful, and engines equipped with it will again constitute an important part of this division's output In 1960. Gray Marine Motor Company had a good year in 1959, and expects another good year in 1960. The outlook for the marine engine industry is good, and Gray is in favorable position, product-wise, to share in the business. Wisconsin Motor Corporation showed substantial gains in sales and earnings. A new research and engineering building was completed and occupied.

Satisfactory progress was made in the proqram announced a year ago, under which Wisconsin Motor Corporation agreed to loan money to its Australian affiliate, Ronaldson Brothers A Tippett, to improve the latter's operations as a manufacturer under license, of Wisconsin engines. Continental Aviation and Engineering Corporation again had good sales and earnings. CAE's J69-T-29 turbojet engine developing 1700 lbs thrust powers the latest target-missile, the Ryan Q-2C, used in aerial gunnery training, and a version of this engine, de-rated to 1400 lbs. thrust for man-carrying applications, has been announced as the power for the new Cessna 4-place Model 407 jet. Desirability of establishing overseas branch operations, and of entering into licensing agreements with manufacturers in the Sterling bloc area, is still beinq exolored.
