When jet-propulsion needed Super-Steel chemistry helped produce it T o d a y jet-propulsion is m a k i n g aviation history. But j e t - p r o p u l s i o n h u n g in the balance for years until chemical research p r o d u c e d a steel which w o u l d w i t h s t a n d the red heat of 1 7 0 0 ° F. while w h i r l i n g madly at 30,000 r. p . m.

In the laboratories of T h e T i m k e n Roller Bearing C o m p a n y where T i m k e n 16-25-6 alloy was developed, Baker's Analyzed C. P. Chemicals set the standard for accuracy.

All a t t e m p t s to make such a steel failed until T h e T i m k e n Roller Bearing C o m p a n y ' s research p r o d u c e d Super-Steel — an alloy steel twice as s t r o n g at h i g h t e m p e r a t u r e s as any previously k n o w n .

I n fact, for nearly a half century m a n y research laboratories have relied u p o n Baker's Analyzed C.P. Chemicals in the d e v e l o p m e n t and m a i n t e n a n c e of quality of n e w p r o d u c t s . Baker's Analyzed R e a g e n t s are d e p e n d a b l e . They bear the actual analysis on the label showing purity defined to the third and fourth decimal.

N o w , t h a n k s t o research, the " S h o o t i n g Star"—Lockheed's famed j e t - p r o p e l l e d fighter plane — is exciting the m i n d s of those w h o plan the future of commercial aviation. A n d in the heart of its j e t - p r o p u l s i o n m o t o r is a t u r b i n e wheel m a d e of steel able t o resist heat w h i c h w o u l d turn ordinary steels to putty-like masses.

If you are e n g a g e d in specialized chemical research or in solving some critical industrial p r o b l e m w h e r e chemistry plays an i m p o r t a n t role, you are invited to investigate Baker's Chemicals—C. P. Analyzed, Fine or Industrial. J . T . Baker Chemical Co., Executive Offices and Plant: Phillipsburg, N . J .
