Miscellaneous Features

ap¬

and Business—Corporation was incorporated in California
1937 (under name Aircraft Accessories Corp., which was
changed to Aireon Manufacturing Corp. on Dec. 18, 1944).
Immediately after incorporation company commenced business in Glendale,
[" Calif.,* as a sales agent on commission for manufacturers producing
various types of aircraft parts and accessories.
By 1939, however,
'the business of the company had come to be principally that of
designing, developing, engineering, manufacturing and selling hydraulic
I equipment for use on airplanes.
As of April 16, 1939, company acquired all of the outstanding stock
of the Thos. L. Siebenthaler Mfg. Co, which carried on business in
Kansas
City,
Mo.,
consisting principally of designing,
developing,
engineering, manufacturing and selling radio transmitting, receiving
and accessory equipment for airports and aircraft, and airport and
aircraft maintenance equipment.
Later the name of the Siebenthaler
; Co. was changed to "Aircraft Accessories Corp. of Mo." and in 1942
the
latter
corporation was dissolved and its business, assets and
obligations were taken over by the company.:
: .l ,;
V. Substantially all of the business of the company is now wartime
business under prime contracts with the U. S. Government or sub¬
contracts
under Government contracts.
Substantially all such con¬
tracts and subcontracts contain provisions permitting the other party
to terminate them at any time independently of any default by the
company.
These contracts contain provisions designed to compensate
the company for work done and materials purchased by it pursuant to
such contracts up
to the date of any such termination.
Through
Jan. 1, 1945, such terminations had given rise to, termination claims
by the company of approximately $2,883,708.
Of this amount formal
claims had been filed for $2,203,106, the claims for the balance being

of the negotiations
the /properties of Virginia
Public
These properties are in close geographic
relationship to those of the 'company's subsidiary, Virginia Electric
and Power Co. (Vepco).
Engineers contracted to increase its invest¬
ment in Vepco by $5,000,000 to facilitate the merger, which was com¬
pleted May 26, 1944.
To furnish the money to refund the debt of
VPS, Vepco sold $23,000,000 of 30-year 3% bonds at a price to It of
102.2999%
and $9,000,000 of 10-vear serial notes 2',4%-2%%The
7%
and 6%. preferred stocks of VPS were exchanged for $5 dividend
stock of Vepco, with suitable cash adjustment, and Vepco's $6 dividend
preferred stock was also exchanged share for share for the new $5
dividend

Company is an operating public utility engaged, prin¬
cipally, -in the business of generating, purchasing, distributing and
selling electric energy for domestic, commercial, industrial, agricul¬
tural and municipal
purposes, and
of purchasing, transmitting, dis¬

twice as many revenue passengers
Croil Hunter, President
and General Manager,
announced on March 22. His report showed
NWA planes, ilying between Chicago, Milwaukee, the Twin Cities and
the Pacific Northwest, carried 17,016 revenue passengers in February,
compared with 8,839 a year ago. This represents an average of more
than
600
per
day.
Passengers were carried a total
of 11.100,495
revenue
passenger
miles during the month, almost twice as many
as
in February last year.
Reassignment of several former Anny air¬
planes of the, DC-3 type to the company during the year enabled
Northwest to add more flights to Its schedules, with five daily round
trips now operated between Chicago and the West Coast, and 11
daily round trips between Chicago and the Twin Cities, with one
of these extending to Fargo,
Grand Forks, N. D., and Winnipeg.
