               ABSTRACT

               What sort of research takes place  in  an  industrial
               laboratory?  Typical work has been the development of
               computer graphics, image  processing,  and  computer-
               aided-design  systems.   Three  short  movies will be
               shown illustrating the application of these technolo-
               gies  to  industrial problems.  Some slides will also
               be shown of recent progress in colour  rendering  and
               free-form surfaces.

               Fred Krull is currently a staff research engineer  at
               the  General  Motors  Research  Laboratory in Warren,
               Michigan.  He holds a B.S. in  Mathematics  from  the
               University  of  Wisconsin  and  a M.S. in Engineering
               Mechanics  from  the  University  of  Illinois.   His
               current  assignment  is  Group  Leader  for  graphics
               research in the Computer Science Department.
