FOREWORD
ALTHOUGH several books and a large number of pam-
phlets or articles have been written on various phases of
the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen, these have been for
the most part written by and for the scientist or technician
intimately interested in or associated with the work.
From the large number of questions and the nature of the
questions asked at the various technical society meetings
and from the number of letters which have come to me in
my official capacity on the staff of the Fixed Nitrogen Re-
search Laboratory, it was very evident that these books and
pamphlets had not served all requirements. It was then in
an endeavor to fill a need as was indicated by inquiries both
personal and by letter that this small volume was written.
This book is not, therefore, intended for the scientist or
technician familiar with the subject of the fixation of atmos-
pheric nitrogen, but is intended for the technical man of
other walks of life, for the teacher and student, for the busi-
ness man and the banker. It is hoped that this small con-
tribution will give the general information necessary to
influence its reader to become more deeply interested in the
subject and seek the other and more technical writings on the
subject.
In this volume an attempt was made to show the necessity
for nitrogen, and its sources; to give some historical facts
leading up to tint* present industry; to give a general descrip-
tion, neither wholly chemical nor wholly engineering, of the
