CORROSION RESEARCH LABORATORIES—11: Fulmer Research Institute

Abstract

Fulmer Research Institute was founded in 1947 by the late managing director of Almin Ltd., Colonel W. C. Devereux, its object being to provide confidential research facilities for industry, on the results of particular investigations, including patents, belonging solely to the individual sponsors. No grant related to industrial income is received from the D.S.I.R., nor are any dividends distributed to the parent company, any excess of income over expenditure being converted into new equipment to increase and improve the available research facilities. Although equipped and staffed to deal primarily with metallurgical problems, many investigations outside this field yet falling within the competence and experience of the staff have been undertaken. Studies on glass, plastics reinforcement, properties of insulating materials, asbestos, cosmetic emulsions etc. have been or are being undertaken.
