Modern laboratory facilities and equipment help Burlington scientists in their probe of new textile horizons.
MO RESEARCH CENTER HAS FACILITIES TO
GREENSBORO, N. C. May
19- - Burlington Industries'
gleaming new Research Cen
ter on Interstate 40 outside
Greensboro is designed to pro
vide the climate and facilities
for exploring the new fron
tiers of textile science and
technology.
The $3.5 million Center, si
tuated on 42 acres of rolling
North Carolina countryside, is
actually composed of three
buildings devoted to admin
istrative offices, technical li
brary, research laboratories
and a pilotplant. Formerly,
Burllngtons research depart
ment was housed on South
Elm Street in downtown
Greensboro and at the Com
pany's executive offices on
North Eugene Street.
The buildings are made of
pre-cast stone with an aggre
gate granite finish. The large
sections were prefabricated
at plants in Greensboro and
Charlotte, Nortn Carolina, then
brought to the site by truck.
The administrative and lab
oratory wings are designed
around central service cores
offices and laboratories
on the exterior walls.
Included in the administra
tive wing are offices, a large
conference room, reception
area, a central information
serwee center and a taste

The laboratory wing is di
vided into eight separate la
boratories, each with its own
area of speciality.
CHEMISTRY
The chemistry laboratory
deals with new and improved
fabric properties created
through the design, synthesis
and application of new chemi
cal structures. Included among
these fabric properities are
such developments as stretch,
soil release, wash and wear,
durable press and water re-
I pellency. The chemical labora
tory also provides analytical
services to Burlington's 32 op
erating divisions.
DYEING
Advanced techniques for
dye applications are the con
cern of the dye laboratory
which utilizes such innova
tions as computer dyeing con
trols to insure uniformity of
dye " applications.
PHYSICS
A full-scale physics labora
tory evaluates the physical
properties of new and chemi
cally modified fibers in the
first step toward utilizing
them in the manufacture of
1 yarn and fabric.
ELECTRONICS
An electronics laboratory
designs and assembles elec-
Tronic measuring and control
devices used in the manufac
turing process to assure uni
form quality for all Burling
ton products.
RADIATION
Hie radiation laboratory in
vestigates the chemical effect
of low and high energy radia
tion on fibers, yarns and
fabrics for possible applica
tion to Burlington products.
High Speed PhotogTaphy
Time magnification of
manufacturing operations film
ed at high speed is used in
the high speed photography
laboratory to reveal the nor
mally hidden aspects of textile
processes and processing equip
ment
HIGH POLYMERS
Research on rubber-like el
astomers, resigns, plastics and
adhesives for bonding fabric?
to wood and metal is carried
on in the elastomerpolymers
laboratory. The result of this
research is of vital import
ance to Burlinton's upfaojft
Martinsville
Races
Martinsville, Vs. -- The top
older model modified and
I sportsman field of the season
will pour into Martinsville
Speedway this weekend for
the first annual running of
the Dogwood 300.
Sixty-seven cars with driv
ers from nine states have en
tered the 300-lap, 150-mile na
tional championship race. Pos
ted awards for the classic to
tal SII,OOO with the winner
receiving $2,075 plus 550 na
tional championship points.
Among those entered are
NASCAR national sportsman
champion Don MacTavish of
Dover, Mass., as well as Carl
"Bugs" Stevens of Rehoboth,
Mass., Ray Hendrick of Rich
mond,. Vi„ Bill Dennis wj.
Sonny Hutchms-of Richmond,
Andy Romano of Johnstown,
N. Y., Ken Rush of High
Point, N. C., Runt Harris of
Richmond and A 1 Grinnan of
Fredericksburg, Va., all of
whom finished high in the
NASCAR national modified
standings last season.
Hutchins won the 100-lap
race on the half-mile track
in April while Hendrick has
taken two of the last four
events here. James Hayes of
Norlina, N. C., winner of the
modified 300 last fall, also is
entered.
Stevens holds the qualify
ing record for modifieds at
80.071 miles per hour and the
drivers will be out to break
that when the first ten start
ing positions are decided in
time trials on Friday.
Ten more positions will be
determined in time trials on
Friday.
Ten more positions will be
determined in time trials on
Strturday while the rest of
the 40-car starting field will
be decided in a 20 - lap qua
lifying race. Barring mechani
cal troubles, that means that
there could be 47 cars run
ing for 20 starting spots in
the qualifying race.
Between 20 and 25 cars are
considered capable of winning
the race and one of the most
CMDpetitive events of the sea
ton is expected.
Hie first annual Dogwood
190 will get underway prompt

Just knowing that you hav« to defrost sooner or -
later Is bad enough.
Then, when you do defrost, It's a chore, food I
melts and spoils. And the ice melts and you have I
to mop. And, before you know *, the whole day
Is ruined.
So why don't you save the day with a frost
