THE BUREAU TURNS TO WAR RESEARCH 165 them for the Bureau at a fraction of its cost.13 Components and processes in the manufacture of rubber products were determined on a small rubber mill similarly acquired, in which rubber compounds could be mixed and tubing and other small rubber articles made. The Pittsburgh laboratories had several small-scale kilns for firing clays and clay products, in which the effect of various compositions were determined, and a cement kiln with a capacity of a 'barrel at a burn. The metallurgical division had both an experimental foundry and a small rolling mill, for the preparation and heat treatment of alloys, where over 3,000 foundry castings were turned out during the With the acquisition of the gage shop and optical glass plant, the Bureau thus had seven of these small plants engaged in special production and process problems all through 1917—18. It was negotiating for two others, a small woolen mill and a cotton mill, as the war ended. The wartime expansion of the Bureau might be said to date from 1913 when, to the original 8 acres of hilltop, an additional 9 acres were added on three sides of North building. In 1918 another 10 acres to the north gave the Bureau its first frontage on Connecticut Avenue, and small parcels totaling almost 8 acres purchased over the next 2 years 'brought the site close to its present form, except for the great slope down to the avenue, not acquired until 1925.15 New field laboratories of the Bureau included two structural materials (cement testing) stations at Denver and San Francisco, transferred from the Department of Interior's Reclamation Service in July 1917. The next year another cement laboratory, for Army, Navy, and Shipping Board construction projects, was set up at San Diego, and branch laboratories for gage testing were opened in New York, Cleveland, and Bridgeport, Conn.16 in Washington, the fourth major structure, East building, housing the electrical laboratories, was completed in the spring of 1914. Later that year a large storage and workshop structure called the Far West building went up; a handsome new Chemistry building, begun in 1915, was occupied in " Conversation with Dr. Robert Hobbs, Feb. 19, 1963. 14 For descriptions of these plants, see Stratton, "The work of the National Bureau of Standards," an address before the Engineers' Club, Dayton, Ohio, May 4, 1915, pp. 43—45 (in Stratton Papers, MIT), and interview with SWS by H. E. Lobdel, editor, Technology Review (MIT), 24, 7—10 (1922). For the foundry work, see NBS Annual Report 1918, p. 188; Annual Report 1919, p. 263. "See app. L for the sequence of NBS land acquisitions. '° NBS Annual Report 1918, p. 139; letter, SWS to Bureau of Public Roads, Department of Agriculture, Jan. 24, 1919 (NBS Box 15, IRC).
