High Explosives

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The Du Pont Company began the manufacture of explosives in this country in 1802 and to-day has mills and factories in all parts of the United States, one of these being the largest dynamite factory in the world. No other manufacturing concern in this country maintains a greater number of technical chemists than are engaged at the Du Pont laboratories. These chemists are employed in testing daily the output of the factories to prevent any deviation from standards, and in studying and experimenting with explosives in order to improve them.
