GLASS PIPING ON DISPLAY in a mobile unit of the
Corning Glass Works was viewed last Monday by two Refinery
engineers, Waller Daniels, center, and Bob Walton, R, G
Engel, left, local sales engineer for Corning, explains the
latest uses of Pyrex brand glass pipe in chemical and related
industries. Included in the display were a shell and tube heal
exchanger, mitered elbow fillings, a lee, a distillation column
and a cascade cooler. Glass piping of the type on display is
used by Refinery employees in Research and Development in
constructing pilot units. Glass tubing of smaller diameter is
used for gauge columns in various parts of the Plant.

the benefit of his 25 years of
photographic experience, students
leave the course with more con-
fidence in their picture-taking
ability.
“At least they won’t throw
away the film and develop the
wrapping paper like one amateur
photographer did,” Baldwin
hopes.
Move that light closer! Hold
that pose! Now shoot it!
YOU’D THINK you were
passing a movie set as you
walk down the hall at Lee College
some Monday night. It’s nothing
so glamorous, however. It’s just
the nine members of John Bald-
win’s photography class learning
the fundamentals of lighting and
posing. Six of the fledgling pho-
tographers are Refinery em-
ployees. They are Noble Jones,
Roy Johnson, Al Bynum and Peggy
Presnal, all of the Engineering
division; Lem Porter, BAYTOWN
briefs; and W. A. Burrell. Tech
Service.
Baldwin, who has been teach-
ing the course at the college for
nearly three years now, is training
assistant in the Training depart-
ment.
THE COURSE involves the
fundamentals of photography and
most of the students just want to
“splash a little hypo around,” as
Baldwin puts it. Most Refinery
people who lake the course don’t
do it for college credit but just
to improve on their picture-taking
hobbies.
Every type of camera, from a
$5 box to an expensive foreign
miniature, is used by the photo
bugs in their work. “Il’s gratify-
ing to see the number of people
who have gone through the course
(25 so far) and the way they im-
prove their equipment and tech-
nique as the course progresses,”
Baldwin says.
The photolaboratory, dubbed
“hypo hall” by students this year,
provides nine student darkrooms
and an instructor’s darkroom.
Each is equipped for individual
work. Three enlargers are also on
hand for student use.
“THE COLLEGE has pro
vided us with the best in equip-
ment,” Baldwin points out. With
