National Carbon Tour Shows Carbon Mfg. Technology By Ray Gallo We had the pleasure, recently, of taking a behind-the-scenes look at how arc carbons are made in America's only projector carbon plant, the Fostoria branch of National Carbon Co. (a division of Union Carbide Corp.) With our hosts, J. W. (Bill) Cos by, marketing manager, and Philip H. Freeman, sales manager of the arc carbon products, we flew with a group of trade press editors and several key personnel executives from National Carbon Co. to Fostoria and Parma. Ohio in a Union Carbide (Please turn to page 14) ON THE NATIONAL CARBON TOUR are shown J. W. (Bill) Cosby, National Carbon marketing manager; C. J. Chapman, vice president of marketing for National Carbon; Ray Gallo, eastern representative for INTERNATIONAL PROJECTIONIST, and Philip H. Freeman, sales manager for carbon arc products. The History Of The Carbon Arc In the year 1801 an English scientist, Sir Humprey Davy, produced a brilliant light between two carbon rods connected to a high-voltage galvanic battery. He named his discovery "carbon arc." But because the galvanic battery was the only source of continuous electric current, any commercial exploitation of the brilliant source of radiant energy was precluded. Three-quarters of a century later, Charles F. Brush, with the invention of the power-driven dynamo, applied the carbon arc as an economically feasible source of illumination. The high-intensity carbon arc in these days is so taken for granted as 8 a light source for screen illumination that little thought is given to what actually creates the light. The National Carbon Co. (a division of the Union Carbide Corp.) was host to the trade press recently. The trade press representatives visited National Carbon's headquarters in Cleveland, to the Fostoria plant, where they manufacture the carbons, and Parma laboratory, a carbon arc research center. The carbon arc is the preferred source of light for applications requiring extremely high brilliancy. It can produce the highest useful brightness (Please turn to page 12) National Carbon Company Arc Carbon Development1 Personnel W. J. Spry, Development Manager, Fostoria Laboratory B. S.
