Title: Film Department chemist testing new experimental film
Date(s): 1955
Contributor(s): E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator)
Description: At DuPont's Experimental Station a Film Department chemist exposes a new experimental film to extreme conditions of temperature and ultraviolet radiation. The study is part of the company's fundamental research program in which 400 technically trained people are now engaged. Such drastic accelerated tests help make it possible to predict performance of packaging and industrial films under actual service conditions.

Title: DuPont laboratory team discussing results of an experiment
Date(s): 1955
Contributor(s): E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator)
Description: The industrial chemist today stands in sharp contrast with the lone wolf inventor common even a little more than a generation ago. Although the initiative and creative thought of the individual is still of prime importance, the modern researcher is a team player with a strong sense of cooperative effort. Pictured here is a DuPont lab team discussing results of an experiment.

Title: A 'breath meter' used for strain and stress measurements
Date(s): 1955
Contributor(s): E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator)
Description: Highly ingenious laboratory tools and instruments help DuPont scientists uncover many secrets of nature ordinarily hidden from the human senses. This 'Breath meter' is so sensitive that mere blowing on the steel bar can easily be registered. This instrument, for measuring strains and stresses, is one of many used by engineers in a mechanical lab where special equipment is developed.

Title: Dr. William H. Cloud studying a crystal
Date(s): 1955
Contributor(s): E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator)
Description: Dr. William H. Cloud uses a torque magnetometer in studying the magnetic properties of single crystals. The crystal sample is inserted in a holder which is rotated between the pole caps of the electromagnet. Such studies help determine the ease or difficulty with which different types of materials can be magnetized. Dr. Cloud is one of the scientists in DuPont's Central Research Department whose fundamental research studies have led to an understanding of the mechanism of the unusual behavior...
