1950s - Color, USA: Bio-Chemical Research Section, Armament Test Equipment Laboratory
Intertitle: ARDC presents
Lab technician checking shelf & getting bottle of chemicals. Several chemists mixing & measuring colored liquids. Weighing on balance scale in enclosed container. Pouring test tubes stoppering. Various instruments. Man turning dial on Superscaler (?), other knobs, gauges w/ light moving up & down on it.
Per card: “a chemist performing a chemical analysis on soil samples in support of the vegetable growth control project; and a test being performed on the radioactive tracer method. Shows a radioactive sample being placed in sample holder (Geiger-tube), which transmits electrical impulses to the superscaler (counter) to determine the radioactivity of the sample.”
