19 2 8 THE FABRICATOR CHEMISTRY, DYEING AND FINISHING DEPARTMENT IT was here that we joined in the pursuit of the elusive atom and learned whence came ninety percent of the noise, all the odors and the weird com- binations of colors with which the socks, obtained by fair means or foul from the Knitting Department, were dyed. We also struggled here with the mysteries of inorganic and organic chem- istry, qualitative and quantitative analysis, textile chemistry, dyeing and fin- ishing, more popularly known as wet wash. Mr. F. E. Busby, assisted by Mr. F. L. Weymouth, Mr. Abram Brooks and Mr. Broadfoot, proved to be very capable instructors in the above mentioned subjects. The department is well equipped and has two laboratories fitted up with all the apparatus necessary for analytical and experimental chemistry. The Finishing Department is equipped to handle the cloth as it comes from the loom and turn it out finished, ready to be put to the use intended for it. «f 11
