For photographing the human voice and reproducing it, not as a picture but as the actual sound of the voice itself, a new device known as the Pallo-Photo-Phone has been perfected by Charles A. Hoxie of the General Electric Company. It is regarded...
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...
Crystalline aggregates of silicon look somewhat like short rough jack straws. The DuPont Company manufactures silicon as a pure element in this form. In this photo, as indicated by the short ruler, the 'spikes' appear about twice their actual size.

Complex chemical operations in the large tetraethyl lead unit at DuPont's Antioch, California plant are handled from a central control room. At operators' fingertips are 200 finely calibrated instruments that keep in balance the process that turn...
The black object in the plastic bag held above in an outstretched gloved hand is plutonium, which emerges from the final production process at Savannah River in metal form. Plutonium, an element not found on earth, is created in Savannah River...
This enormous fleet of trailer trucks, converted to buses, hauled Hanford Engineering Works employees to all areas of the 600 square mile plant, which was divided into three large manufacturing areas, each of which was subdivided into sections...
Mirror glass and black lacquered wood are two mediums now being widely used by modern French furniture designers. Pieces offered by Colette Gueden, Paris, show great simplicity in design, the mirror glass being used as a decorative element in the...
Methanol made from the element of coal, air and water by processes of high pressure synthesis at the Belle WV plant of the DuPont Company, is a basic material for the manufacture of plastics, formaldehyde, dyes and anti-freeze compounds. In the...
