3 Ball grinding machine 1936-12 E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator), Akron Studios (photographer) A ball grinding machine used for grinding pigments for inks. The pigment is placed in the jar with the stainless steel balls and the jar is then clamped in the machine and revolved for a number of hours to obtain a fine grinding. The ball grinding method is used particularly where a volatile solvent is used which would evaporate in other types of grinding machines. Equipment at the Technical Laboratory, Dyestuffs Division of the DuPont Company.

9 Camphor flaker at the camphor plant at Deepwater Point, New Jersey 1941 E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator), Rittase, William M., 1894-1968 (photographer) This photograph shows a camphor flaker at the camphor plant of E.I. du Pont Nemours & Company at Deepwater Point NJ. At this plant camphor is manufactured for medical as well as industrial use. This latter is known as technical camphor. Technical camphor in flaked form is run from this machine directly into containers for shipment. Camphor was for centuries a natural monopoly. Chinese, visiting the Island of Formosa in 1421, found trees from the chips of which the natives distilled a white...

This photograph shows a camphor flaker at the camphor plant of E.I. du Pont Nemours & Company at Deepwater Point NJ. At this plant camphor is manufactured for medical as well as industrial use. This latter is known as technical camphor. Technical camphor in flaked form is run from this machine directly into containers for shipment. Camphor was for centuries a natural monopoly. Chinese, visiting the Island of Formosa in 1421, found trees from the chips of which the natives distilled a white crystalline material of pleasing door. This material-camphor- was soon in demand throughout the then civilized world, chiefly as a medicine. The Chinese annexed Formosa and built up a monopoly on camphor which they maintained until 1895, when they lost the island to Japan. The growth of plastics manufacture resulted in the development of camphor as an important industrial commodity. This fact was thoroughly appreciated by the Japanese who controlled the world market and with it the price. Chemical research was directed to a method for the synthesis of this vital material. Within recent years, DuPont chemists have devised a successful process by which turpentine from southern pines is converted into camphor suitable for medical as well as industrial use.
