Hercules Powder Co.
increases Facilities

The vital role of research and
development in the chemical in
dustry today is exemplified by the
growth in size and scope of Her
cules Powder Company's central
research laboratories near Wilm-
ington, Delaware, which have just
completed twenty-five years of
operation.
This expansion at Hercules Ex-
pertinent station has resulted in
a new name for the facility-Her-
cules Research Center-which more
accurately portrays the nature and
breadth of the company's research
program at this location.
Located seven miles west of Will
mington, Delaware, Hercules Re-
search Center today employs ap-
proximately $50 men and women,
under the direction of DR.. Peter
Van Wyck Most of the staff are
specialists and technicians, and
almost 300 of them professional
scientists and engineers. In 1881,
there were 125 employees, most OF
whom were transferred from Her
cules' laboratories at Kenvil, New
Jersey, established in 1915.
The company's expenditures for
research at the time of opening OF
the Experiment Station we're about
S45O,OOO annually. At the present
time, the rate is almost $8,00O,OOO
annually for the Hercules research
program.
In April, the Center marked the
completion of twenty-five years OF
widening performance and contin-
ued growth in it's ability to carry
out research responsibilities, with
facilities which far outstrip those
at it's command in 1881.
Research growth was geared to
DEVELOPMENT of the company, best
illustrated by a contrast of net
sales in 1880 of $23, 100000, with
an all-time high in 1856 of $685.

have always entered a changing
world. Change is about the only
thing in this world that can be
safely predicted Your special
problem is not so much facing in
evitable change as confronting a
rate of change greater than grad
yates in earlier years have known"
The big Change" described by
the Delaware president was based,
he said, upon the supposltlon that
no major war would bring destruc-
ton upon us in the years TO come.
His word picture revealed increas-
ed population, greater use of raw
materials, and an ever increasing
demand for knowledge, skill and
training.
''The picture of the future may
suggest to you not only the i'm
portance of what you have learned
but also the Importance of your
continuing to learn" DR.. Perkins
advised. 1T should suggest, too,
the Importance of schools and col
leges in our society. IF you show
the proper respect for the brains
given you and put them to good
use, the material future promises
to be a comfortable one. For eX-
ample, it is safe to predict that in
1860 you will earn for each hour
you work about seven times as
much as was earned by your great
grandfather one hundred years
ago. 1t is likely that you will not
have to work the forty hour week
to which your father and mother
have become accustomed. In few
er hours of work you will produce
more. This is to be seen on farms.
Today one man can till twice as
much land as could be cultivated
by one man in 1910. By 1860, TWEEN
ty per cent more agricultural pro-
ducts will be raised than in 1850
with fewer farm workers. You will
be sure to own a car for there

You will travel a lot, using forms
of transportation little used by your
parents. Travel by helicOpter will
be common for short trips. Long

equipment employed in many con-
Stunning industries. Sucn equipment
provides practical information on
the utility of Hercules chemicals
in the nancy kinds of finished pro-
duets of which they may form a
part.
Flexible pilot plant facilities are
provided for preparation of larger
quantities of laboratory research
products for field trials, and spe-
cially built production units are
set up for determining design in
formation for commercial plants
on new and improved processes.
High-pressure research facilities
at the Hercules Research Center,
developed over the past ten years,
are outstanding in the nation. In
1853, the company's new Agricul-
tural Chemicals Laboratory was put
into operation. Biologists and anto-
mologists conduct laboratory and
greenhouse research there on new
chemicals for agriculture which is
augmented by field testing on the
Hercules farm property.
Industrial chemical research
carried out today at Hercules Re-
search Center involves taking apart
the bricks and mortar of natures
raw materials and rearranging or
recombining them into new MOLE
cular structures by heat, pres
sure, catalytic action, or a COM
bination of all these forces" DR..
Cairns said. ''Of equal Importance,
research studies how these new
materials can be made to serve
man, and determines how they can
be made available on a practical
scale.
Milford chronicle. [volume] (Milford, Del.) 1878-1974, 1956-06-22

THE basic concept is still the
same-the extension of mans use
full knowledge concerning chemical
materials for industry" pointed out
DR.. Robert w. Cairns, Hercules
director of research.
in this first quarter century we
have built an organization of skilled
scientists and engineers, backed
by the finest building and research
equipment, to perform truly as a
research center for Hercules and
the industries we serve. Our work
covers all phases of the research
process, from the search for new
chemical IDEAS to the commercial
development of new manufacturing
processes and product applica-
tions," DR.. Cairns said
The heart of Hercules Research
Center is its technical library, for
which a new million-dollar build
ing is now being erected. Approx
mately 1900 technical volumes
are maintained in the library to
serve as a starting point for ex-
ploratory research and a check
point for all phases of research
and development
The many chemical and physical
laboratories are equipped with the
most modern devices for complex
scientific work, including recent
ly developed electronic and photo
metric equipment for automatic
analysis and measurement
Imaginative applications research
is supplemented by the most sensi-
tive instruments for measuring
the physical properties of all types
of materials, ard also by small

DR.. John A. Perkins, president

the commencement speaker on the
evening of June 13 for the high
school from which he graduated
twenty-four years ago in Owosso,
