Highly resistant to tear and impact, heat, cold, chemicals, and moisture, this recent Hercules development provides low-cost packages for food and other items
which, more often than not, pay for themselves in savings from spoilage, breakage, and damage in handling.

EXCAVATE LARGEST ROCKET SILO This blast started a hole at Arnold Engineering Development Center, Tullahoma, Tenn., that is now 250 ft. deep. Part of a concrete cell in which huge liquid and solid-propellant rocket engines will be tested, simulating conditions at altitudes higherthan 5 miles, this excavation used 100,000 lbs. of Gelamite® dynamite. To avoid shock damage to extremely sensitive rocket-testing equipment nearby, firing was done with 10,000 shortperiod delay blasting caps. Prime contractor for this important assignment was Blount Brothers' Corporation, Montgomery, Ala.
