As plant chemist, my areas of responsibility were raw materials characteristics and control as they might affect the process and product characteristics. I made fairly extensive literature searches on all raw materials used in the process. Q Could you describe the nature of your initial duties at Owens-Illinois? I know you have touched on that before, but go into a little more detail. A I was hired at Owens-Illinois, as I said, to be a plant chemist at the Sayreville plant when it went into operation. There was a period of about a year and a half in which I served as a research and development engineer mixing small trial batches of Kaylo, calcium silicate using different raw material sources. At the same time in conjunction with those trial batches, the characteristics, the physical and chemical characteristics of the individual raw materials and raw material sources being investigated were made.
