YEARS
OF

Dr.

has
tried
tor
some
20
years
to
find
a
cheap
process,
but
w-.th
little
success.
Now
he
thinks
he's
got
.something
that,
may
finally
do
the
tiick.
The
plant,
he
designed,
along
with
two
other
departmental
engineers.
K.

is
an
im-prevement
over

This
is
known
as
hydrogener-ation
simply
the
combination
of
hydrogen
with
some
other
item
such
as
coal
and
oil

But
Dr.
Warren
decided
to
experiment
with
higher
pressures
than
the
Germans
did.

may

and
