Scope and Contents
The files collected by Hounshell and Smith are a selection specifically designed to support their research. In copying and collecting these documents, the original order was destroyed, so the material has been arranged in five artificial subseries: files arranged by department; files dealing with multiple departments; committee files; development manager's group files; and Executive Committee historical files. All of these files contain reports and correspondence to the Executive Committee relating to major R&D programs, new product development, rewards for successful innovations (including the "A" bonus), new business opportunitite, aid to chemical education, and diversification efforts.
