Series XIII. Drawings, 1923-1995, undated

This series contains a large, but incomplete, set of drawings 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 files in this series are arranged numerically by drawing number. Within the files, the drawings are stored in sub-folders with identifying labels.

The materials in this series mainly document the specific projects the firm worked on for its clients and provide an extensive amount of technical information about the projects it worked over the course of its existence. A few of the firm’s internal projects and subjects of interest to the firm’s staff are also documented here. Copies of many of the drawings in this series can also be found in the W.L. Badger Associates Reports, which are preserved in Series VII, Sub-series 1.

The contents of the Drawings series consist mainly of blueprints, drawing reproductions, original drawings, graphs, and tables. A few reports and report cover pages are also found in this series. A small amount of accompanying materials, including correspondence, notes, article reprints, a few photographs, and a negative strip are preserved here as well.
