Besides Trescott s discussions of Frederick Becket, see his articles, Fifty Years Progress in Research, Trans. Electrochem. Soc. 46, 43-47 (1936) and A Few Reflections on Forty Years of Research, ibid. 47, 14— 25 (1937). 

The status of electrochemistry is evident in the first volumes of the Transactions of the American Electrochemical Society, Philadelphia, 1902 et seq. See also Frederick Becket s 1937 article and pp. 287-293 of Martha Trescott s book [11].

Amer. Chem. Soc. 15, 627-635 (1893). That unit operations were abundantly being practiced is obvious and has been emphasized by Martha M. Trescott, Unit Operations in the Chemical Industry, pp. 1-18 in W. F. Furter, ed.,.4 Century of Chemical Engineering [17], and in her book [11],...
