Sub-series 1. W.L. Badger Associates Reports – Final Versions, 1919-1997, undated

This sub-series contains final versions of reports created by Walter L. Badger (while working as a consultant for Swenson Evaporator Company), Dow Chemical Company’s Consulting Engineering Division, W.L. Badger Consulting Chemical Engineer, and W.L. Badger Associates, Incorporated. The numbered reports (which make up the bulk of this sub-series) are arranged numerically. The unnumbered reports are arranged alphabetically.

The final versions of the W.L. Badger Associates Reports primarily concern the firm’s business activities. They mainly document the consultant work the firm performed for its clients and provide an extensive amount of technical information about the projects it worked on over the course of its existence. A few of the firm’s internal projects and subjects of interest to its staff are also documented in this sub-series. The reports in this sub-series also document the evolution of the firm from a single person consultant practice to a well established independent concern.

The contents of this sub-series consist mainly of report manuscripts and copies of reports. A significant amount of graphs, tables, blueprints, and drawing reproductions are also present in this sub-series. Two indexes, a small amount of correspondence, a few article reprints, and a few photographs are preserved in this sub-series as well.
