When iBfrpr&wMm «raM^'SiiP^eto^t chemistry helped produce it Today jet-propulsion is making aviation history. But jet-propulsion h u n g in the balance f o r years until c h e m i c a l r e s e a r c h p r o d u c e d a s t e e l which w o u l d withstand the red heat of 1 7 0 0 ° F. while whirling madly at 3 0 , 0 0 0 r . p . m .

In the laboratories o f T h e T i m k e n R o l l e r Bearing Company w h e r e T i m k e n 16-25-6 alloy w a s d e v e l o p e d , Baker's Analyzed C. P. Chemicals set t h e standard for accuracy.

All attempts to make such a steel failed until T h e T i m k e n Roller Bearing Company's research produced Super-Steel — an alloy steel twice as strong at h i g h temperatures as any previously known.

In fact, for nearly a half century many research laboratories have relied u p o n Baker's Analyzed C P . Chemicals in t h e d e v e l o p m e n t and maintenance o f quality o f newproducts. Baker's Analyzed Reagents are dependable. T h e y bear the actual analysis on the label s h o w i n g purity defined to the third and fourth decimal.

N o w , thanks t o research, the " S h o o t i n g Star"—Lockheed's famed jet-propelled fighter plane — is exciting the minds o f those w h o plan t h e future of commercial aviation. A n d in t h e heart of its jet-propulsion m o t o r i s a turbine wheel made of steel able to resist heat which w o u l d turn ordinary steels t o pur.ty.like masses.

If y o u are e n g a g e d in specialized chemical research or i n s o l v i n g some critical industrial p r o b l e m w h e r e chemistry plays an important role, y o u are invited to investigate Baker's Chemicals—C.
