Moving down across the picture from the upper right corner, Dacron polyester fiber in rope like tow form rushes into the drawing machine (not shown) where al fib3ers will be stretched to give them proper strength. This is one of many steps through...
River's flow is determined by meter that sounds 'ping' in scientist's ear as tiny cups revolve. The scientists collected hundreds of species of fish, clams, insects, snails and plants living in and along the Guadalupe River.
To develop data so that better process equipment can be designed represents an important phase in research. This is the type of work which is done at the Engineering Research Laboratory at DuPont's Experimental Station where this engineer studies...

The instruments in the control room at DuPont's Victoria Texas plant serve both as a reporter and regulator. A meter, for example, controlling the flow of a liquid sends a report to another device set to the required standard. A third instrument...
Control room at DuPont's Victoria, Texas plant has 185 dials and gauges on huge panel board. Just as a living room thermostat controls a heating source in the basement, so this device governs the process, with an operator watching production flow...
An operator adjusts the flow of molten liquid polymer as it is extruded through a lost into a rotating casting wheel. On its way through, the film base is stretched longitudinally and laterally to about 10 times its original size, inspected and...
This infant thermal oxygen tent is made of heavy gauge Lucite acrylic resin sheeting, The tent provides gentle air circulation, an even flow of oxygen concentration and complete visibility of the patient at all times. The tent also may be used for...
Huge valves at Sabine River Works, Orange, Texas, control flow of gases and liquids under pressures that often reach fantastic levels. This DuPont plant makes, among other things, Alathon polyethylene resin, a plastic used in packaging film, dishes...
Big control room at Sabine River Works, near Orange, Texas from where a DuPont operator, remote from production units, keeps a trained eye on the flow of processes, interfering only when flashing lights or clanging bells signal an emergency.

Flow of strip steel continues uninterrupted ahead of high frequency electrical induction welder, right center above, in the DuPont Halogen Tin Process. This line installed at the Weirton Steel Company, Weirton, West Virginia, eletrotins 1200 feet...
Sulfuric acid is a basic chemical used by industry on a large scale. The fertilizer, petroleum, textile, iron and steel, paint and pigment, chemical, explosives and other industries use millions of tons of it every year. The DuPont Company has been...
At the Niagara Falls plant of DuPonts Electrochemicals Department, the flow of ammonia from the ammonia plant to the cyanide pots is carefully controlled. Cyanide is one of the products made from sodium.
Into one end of the modern DuPont dynamite plant flow nitric acid, glycerin and other basic ingredients of dynamite. Each of four key steps in manufacture is carried out in a different mound, connected by specially designed conveyors like the one...
