and employee count are drawn from a number of sources. Financial data 1973–1977 are from. At the time of the 1978 acquisition by UTI, the largest shareholder was Calma board chairman Ronald D. Cone. He held 321,706 of Calma's 635,266 outstanding shares. Legal In February 1977, Computervision (CV) filed suit in federal court over Calma's hiring of a group of 5 employees from CV in San Diego. (This group developed Calma's DDM product.) The CV suit against Calma and the five employees alleged breach of competition, breach of non-competition agreements, and interference with contractual relations. This draining lawsuit was finally settled out of court in October 1979. In the UTI acquisition of Calma in 1978, 5% of the newly issued stock was held in escrow as a reserve pending the outcome of this litigation. Buildings As early as 1970, Calma occupied a building at 707 Kifer Road in Sunnyvale. Roughly , the building consisted of a large warehouse/manufacturing area in the rear, with an office area of about 10 offices in the front. Somewhat later, an additional building to the rear (on San Gabriel Drive) was leased as a manufacturing/shipping area, bringing total square footage to 35,000. In February 1978, the company relocated to a single-story building at 527 Lakeside Drive in Sunnyvale, part of the newly developed Oakmead Village industrial park. Additional buildings were added as the employee count grew. In 1979, the R&D department moved to a building at 212 Gibraltar Drive (corner of Borregas Avenue) in the Moffett Park area of Sunnyvale. Other buildings were added in the area. In 1980 a new manufacturing facility was opened in Milpitas, California. In 1982 a new headquarters was opened in Santa Clara, California. In 1984 Calma bought a facility near Dublin, Ireland, that had originally been built for Trilogy Systems. Products General description (1978) The following is quoted from: Calma's computer-aided design and drafting systems (also referred to as interactive graphics systems) are component hardware modules, electronic interfaces, and software programs. Most of the systems sold are constructed by combining available components to meet the requirements of the customers' specific design or drafting application. Calma's systems enable customers to automate a wide variety of design and manufacturing processes which have previously been performed manually. The primary hardware components of a system are a central processing unit, operator stations and plotter outputs. Their GDS I and II software operated on
