Research activities: Researches in the sciences of physics, chemistry, mathematics, and metal- lurgy as sources of basic information for the development of telephone instrumentalities. The important areas of investigation in these re- searches comprise acoustics, high vacuum and solid state physics, electronics, magnetism, physi- cal and organic chemistry, and physical metal- lurgy. Researches in telephone transmission, including speech and hearing; the transmission of telephone, telegraph, and television currents over wires, through wave guides and by radio; and the recording and reproducing of sound. Fundamental studies basic to the switching and control of telephone circuits, including studies of electromechanical, electronic, and other struc- tures; the study of electrical contacts employed in switching; experimentation with radically new designs; and the application of the mathe- matical theory of probability to switching problems.

Other activities: Current engineering work covering a great variety of problems which arise in the operating telephone field, such as those due to rearrangement of plant to meet changing field conditions, and those in connection with specific noise and protection matters on which the operating companies require assistance and advice; also problems involving apparatus design changes, such as those caused by changes in available supplies of materials or in their rela- tive prices. A small proportion of the total of the Labora- tories' work covers the manufacture of appa- ratus which, by reason of its newness, requires close technical control by those responsible for its development. During the war years, the greatly enlarged Laboratories' program was almost wholly de- voted to the development of wartime communi- cations and special devices for the Armed Ser- vices of the United States and its Allies. In addition, the Laboratories operated a large post- graduate school for Army and Navy officers.

NATIONAL CARBON COMPANY, INC. 30 East 42nd St., New York 17, N. Y. President: A. V. Wilker. Vice President in charge of research: L. M. Currie. Research was initiated in 1892. GENERAL RESEARCH LABORATORY 1280 West 73rd St., Cleveland, Ohio Research staff: H. D. Batchelor, Director; 30 in scientific professions; additional person- nel 56. Research activities: This is the central re- search laboratory, where the basic research on all of the company's battery and carbon prod- ucts is carried out. The goals are improved product merit and lowered cost of present prod- ucts, together with new types of primary bat- teries and new carbon products. For all dry cells there is a constant drive for longer life; and for the smaller sizes, used in portable radios and earphone batteries, there is special pressure for more energy per unit of weight, volume, and cost. The great responsiveness of carbon to changes in properties, resulting from different physical and chemical treatments, offers an un- limited research approach, and leads to a large number of diverse and useful products. Favor- able discoveries of this laboratory are passed on to one of the several Product and Process Labo- ratories which are located at some of the plants. Here the discovery is further evaluated, and if it is sufficiently attractive, the necessary applied research is carried out to permit incorporating
INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH LABORATORIES 313 the discovery into full-scale commercial produc- tion. Cooperative research: Three fellowships are supported. PRODUCT AND PROCESS LABORATORY 1251 West 76th St., Cleveland, Ohio Research staff: R. L. Glover, Laboratory Di- rector; 10 in scientific professions; additional personnel 16.

Work is also being done on expanding the use of carbon arc light in such fields as irradiation of food products, accelerated testing, and other photo- chemical applications. The work on carbon brushes includes the study of the basic phe- nomena of commutation, and the relations of brush composition and processing to commuta- tion. The work on carbon specialties covers improvement in the quality and performance characteristics of these products, which have such industrial uses as porous carbon for elec- trochemical and filtering purposes, and imper- vious carbon for chemical and engineering uses. Suitable commercial-scale manufacturing meth- ods are developed for new carbon products. PRODUCT AND PROCESS LABORATORY 1425 West State St., Fremont, Ohio Research staff: C. R.
