Sub-series Description
This sub-series contains a single file concerning John H. Wotiz’s patent for polyhydroxyamino compounds. It also contains an incomplete set of articles authored and co-authored by Wotiz that were published in scientific journals. The sole patent file is placed at the beginning of the sub-series. The article files are arranged numerically according to a numbering scheme devised by Wotiz.
NOTE – A handful of empty files labelled "Empty File" are present in this sub-series. These files are kept here because they were determined to be an integral part of the sub-series. It is believed that these files formerly contained materials that are now missing.
