AT FOOTE the LITHIUM story is 450 feet long The country's most exhaustive collection of printed material on lithium—its characteristics, compounds, and applications—rests on 450 feet of library shelving at Foote Mineral's Berwyn Research Library. Here is the up-to-theminute historyof lithium . . . indexed for immediate access to any one of 13,000 references which chemically, physically, and metallurgically describe this most unusual of all metals. Begun more than a quarter century ago when Foote pioneered in the development of lithium, it is still growing at the rate of well over a foot of library shelf a week. What does this mean to you? Well, lithium and its compounds in a very few years have outgrown the laboratory curiosity stage to become important factors in chemistry . . . ceramics . . . greases . . . organic intermediates . . .
