Table of Content

Note from the editors – only selected documents from this microfilm reel have been completely processed and presented below in cleaned and grouped format (Section I, items 6, 7 and 9, Section II item 7 and 8,  and Section III item 7, identified by HTML links below).  The remainder of the reel is not related to the Fischer-Tropsch process, and therefore complete processing cannot be justified at this time.

We are, however, making the entire reel contents available in raw image format, although in a small number of relatively large files (rather than a very large number of small individual images).  Anyone interested in pursuing the non-FT related material on this reel may find the document in these larger raw files.  Because of subject matter (many drawings) and scanning results these files are extremely large.
