Baytonian At Benicia
When Humble’s new Benicia Refinery began processing crude
oil recently, one Baytown operator on a loan assignment was right
in the middle of the action. In fact, B. J. Friederich pushed the
button which activated a motor driven valve which in turn allowed
crude oil to begin flowing to the crude distillation unit. And, about
three hours later distillation began. Looking at the article and
Friederich’s picture which appeared on Page 1 of a Vallejo, Cali-
fornia, newspaper are two of his co-workers at Baytown. From
left are J. L. Nesselrode and W. W. Allison.
