Of current interest: 5,000 New products and procedures from atomic-bomb research

Immediate benefits to American industry in new inventions and new and improved products and procedures of manufacture resulting from the atomic-bomb project were foreseen recently at a luncheon meeting of business-paper editors held in New York, N. Y., under the auspices of The M. W. Kellogg Company, chemical engineers of Jersey City, N. J., and New York. The Kellogg Company arranged the meeting on behalf of its wartime subsidiary, The Kellex Corporation, a noncommercial industry-wide unit which engineered the designing, construction, and operation of the diffusion-process plant of the atomic-bomb project at Oak Ridge, Tenn. As a result of the inventive, scientific, industrial, and engineering advances incident to work on the atomic-bomb project, the Kellex Corporation estimates that more than 5,000 new and improved products and procedures are now available to American industry, awaiting only Government release for volume production.
