Excerpt from Reports of the Progress of Applied Chemistry, 1922, Vol. 7
The great advances made during the war years and immediately after were, no doubt, in a large part due to the increased output of chemicals and allied products which was called for and the consequent working of all plant at its fullest capacity. From this intensive working it resulted that defects in design and construction, and in adaptation to the end in view, were very forcibly impressed on both the work's manager and the engineer as well as upon the owner and fostered the Spirit of invention of new, and improvement of existing, plant, and, as there was plenty of money available, little hindrance was felt from this cause.
Taking the foregoing remarks into consideration, it is not to be wondered at that the past year has been so little remarkable for new ideas about plant. At the same time a good deal of steady progress has been made, especially in details.
