        Paper presented before the California Natural Gasoline Association, August 5, 1948.  Reviews status of the hydrocarbon-steam process for manufacturing H₂ and mixtures of H₂ and other gases for various purposes, from natural gas, light hydrocarbons, and steam.  Gives an account of the application of the process to the hydrogenation of various petroleum materials, the synthesis of NH₃, the production of high-purity H₂ and CO-H₂ mixtures by the Girbotol methods for use in fuel synthesis processes, and for producing gas mixtures suitable for supplementing manufactured gas.
