This aerial view of the Rouge plant of the Ford Motor Company shows the enormous stockpiles of iron order, coal and limestone which supply the blast furnaces, foundry and power house in the background. The two or carriers at dock in the foreground...
Pure zirconium by the ton-Westinghouse engineer Alexander Squire examines a stock of zirconium crystal bar produced at the firm's Atomic Power Division plant. Slightly lighter than steel, highly resistant to corrosion and heat, the glistening metal...
Whether your trip is 100 miles or 3000, the matchless comfort and luxury of the Lockheed Constellation speed the minutes as the four huge engines speed the miles. Interior fittings in the Constellation cabin, styled by the fames industrial designer...
Close up of south face of Brookhaven Reactor-Through these holes in the south face of the Brookhaven reactor are introduced tons of pure uranium metal. Once in the graphite moderator of the reactor proper, uranium atoms fission, or spilt, in a...
The 1949 model Ford was Ford Motor Companys first significant post WWII car. From a styling standpoint, its smooth sides paved the way for total integration of fenders and body. From a sales standpoint, the car gave the company momentum to recover...
Tall glasses, coffee pots and other hard to clean utensils are washed in a jiffy with the new cellulose sponge dish mop. The highly porous sponge absorbs a good supply of rich suds and is very pliable. It is easy to keep clean and may sterilizing...
This is one of three pictures that show why paper. Coated with Alathon polythene resin, can be used for packaging materials that are highly acidic or corrosive in nature. A laboratory technician at the DuPont Company's Experimental Station in...
The creation of 'Teflon' at the Richmond, Virginia Plant
From a boiling bath of hot sulfuric acid, a laboratory technician lifts two rods of plastic. One has charred and deteriorated. The other-a rod of DuPont's new Teflon tetrafluoroethylene resin-is not affected at all by the highly corrosive hot acid....

Manufacturing of Synthetic Rubbers-Neoprene, 'Nordel', 'Viton'
A laboratory technician inspects a sheet of Viton fluoroelastomer. As shipped by DuPont from its plant at Deepwater Point, New Jersey, Viton is a translucent, light color gum. This new special purpose rubber is a result of DuPont's long activity in...
Control board at DuPont's plastics plant near Parkersburg, West Virginia. This automatic device allows the operator to keep close control over complicated manufacturing processes and thus make better plastics more efficiently. The plant makes...

This newly completed 30 million pound plant at Beaumont, Texas was built by DuPont solely for the manufacture of a sulfur vulcanizable ethylene propylene rubber. Its capacity can be extended when demand justifies it. Because of the need for close...
This picture shows silicon and what researchers expect it to do. The pure element, in the form manufactured by DuPont, is below the ruler. Before it can be used it must be melted down to a solid mass, as at lower left and traces of other elements...
This physical research chemist at DuPont's Experimental Station is using an analog computer to determine temperature characteristics of a bar of silicon undergoing refinement by the floating zone technique which involves gradual moving of the...
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...
