An artist by temperament he is
a lithographer by skill and train
ing already, having obtained his
Master of Fine Arts from the Uni
versity of Oregon.
The new lithographic process is
readily adapted for small schools,
Mr. Hunter believes.
A major advantage is that no
dangerous chemicals that can burn
skin or clothing are used as with
etching and other lithographic pro
cesses.
He has his working nook at the
Richland Art School adjoining the
Columbia Museum of Art.
The process is roughly as fol
lows:
Taking a piece of formica, a rela
tively new and very hard material
whi-h is used in making many of
today's breakfast corner tables, he
cuts this to the size paper he wants
to print on. Then he roughens the
smooth formica surface with sand
)aper. This makes indentations in
the surface. Next he draws with a
China black grease pencil or even a
child's crayon the forms he wishes
to use in his finished print. He
does this drawing for each color in
the priocess.
Then he pours acacia gum, a
clear liquid bought at most drug
stores, over' the formica andl its dle
sign. Then he wvashes this wvith
water. Next he rolls the formica
plate with an ink roller of the color
he desires. The ink sticks only to
the p)art rubbed or drawn wvith a
crayon. Next he takes 50 weight
couver paper, moistens it, and lays
it flat on the formica plate. Then
he inserts the plate and the paper
under -a small screw-type press and
gets his impression.
Wood blocks or linoleum blocks
used in lithography can only be
used once because they are en
graved or cut away. Not so the
formica which is extremely hard
and can be smoothed or roughened
up quite easily at little cost to be
used over and over again. In fact,
the new Hunter technique has
something of bo0th engraving and
offset.
The process is repeated for each
c'olor~ wanted.

What do
metallurgists
do in a
chemical
company?
CHARLES I. SMITH, JR. received his B.S. Ch.E.
from V.P.I. in 1943, served in the Navy as an
engineer officer, and joined Du Pont's Engineer
ing Department in 1946. Since then he has ad
vanced steadily through a number of interesting
assignments at various Du Pont plants. Today
Charlie Smith is technical superintendent of
Du Pont's Newport, Delaware, Plant, Pigments
Department.
Metallurgists and Metallurgical Engineers
can find some of Charlie Smith's challenging
new problems described in "Engineers at

GEORGE M. LINCOLN, JR. expects to receive his B.S. in met
allurgical engineering from Lehigh University in 1957. George
is active in sports, vice president of his junior class, and a partici
pant in many other cnmpus activities. He's starting his employ
ment investigations early, for he feels that the selection of an
employer is one of the most important decisions in a mnan's career.
,harlie Smith answers:
They have an almost endless variety of interesting
problems to face, George. As a student of metallurgy
you know that about two-thirds of all known chemical
elements are metals. Many of them are revealing valu
able new applications, when highly purified on a com
mercial scale. Du Pont is greatly interested in several
metallic and semi-metallic elements.
My own experience at Du Pont ranges from work
on titanium pigments, to metallic titanium production,
and to the ultra-pure silicon used in transistors. You
can appreciate some of our metallurgical problems when
I point out that impurities in transistor silicon have to
be below one part in 100 million. That's equivalent to
one pound of impurities distributed through a train of
ore cars twenty miles long!
Some of our metallurgists carry out fundamental
research on new metals, and, in the development stage,
they frequently operate pilot plants for producing them.
Other metallurgists study problems relating to engi
neering materials used in construction, carry out re
search on intergranular corrosion, or investigate fatigue
relationships encountered in dynamic, high-pressure
operations.
You'll find many challenging opportunities in every
phase of metallurgy at Du Pont, George.
