Records, 1903-1991 (bulk 1950-1982) | WorldCat.org (original) (raw)

Summary:This group of Executive Committee records is extremely fragmentary. They were received in three lots, each representing a culling from the complete file. The first lot contained files of historical interest from the 1903-1921 period in which the company assumed its modern shape. The second lot was limited to only a few subjects, primarily dossiers for patent and licensing agreements (1950-1972), for capital improvements (1972), and departmental annual reports (1981-1982). The third lot consists of committee files copies by David A. Hounshell and John K. Smith for their book, "Science and Corporatate Strategy."
