Six cabinets the east side the chemistry laboratory held chemicals, and three the west side held glassware. 102 348 See figure 26.through door the brick room. The various elements the mixture were pumped and then condensed under pressure and high heat. There are three more photographs this area Photograph Album 7.346 There are photographs the interior the brick room and evidence about its use. The condensite project was carried out great secrecy, for just few miles away from West Orange, Leo Baekeland was carrying out experiments with the same phenol resins. This machine would have been made the laboratory staff from plans drawn up experimenters—probably Edison, Sam Moore, and Fred Ott—and copied from existing distilling machines and heated mixers. The large cabinet with glass doors which was placed front the partition was moved into the balance room where now stands. The mixtures concocted Aylsworth 345 NPS, 'HSR, Physics Laboratory, Building 1,” see also figure 18. A series wall cabinets are visible photographs taken during this period. Secrecy was therefore essential. These were used store chemicals and were arranged under system that grouped similar types chemicals together. The balance room contained microscopes evaluate crystals developed experiments recording media and to examine the surface disc and cylinder masters. The container was sheathed steam jacket heat the mixture and steam pipes were attached. The first was condensing distilling machine used make the phenol resins used make the disc blanks. Photographs show two experimental tables and one table fitted with drawers within the room (figures and 19). 1910 and 1911 Edison negotiated with Baekeland license his patents while simultaneously attempting circumvent these patents and set up his own production operation. This created the thick resin, called condensite, which when cooled, could made into blanks. At the bottom the container was valve draw off the hot liquid and a manhole cover attached large bolts was the top. Two large machines were brought into the laboratory part the disc record project. Baekeland was the lead developing these early plastics and had strong patent position. vacuum pump was placed nearby. was pressure container which a vacuum could created
