British corrosion laboratories (5): The Fulmer Research Institute

Abstract

THE Fulmer Research Institute was founded in 1947 to undertake confidential sponsored research for industry and/or government, British and/or foreign. Its founder, the late Col. Devereux, had been impressed by the work of sponsored research organisations such as Battelle, Armour, Stanford and others in the United States, and he believed that a similar organisation should have a role to play in the research effort of this Country. In 1947 this was a far‐sighted belief, for it seems probable that in those early post‐war years research and development were not recognised to the extent they are today, as essential parts of the processes of economic growth.
