Sub-series Description

Arranged alphabetically by subject, this sub-series contains Scientific Products, Incorporated’s miscellaneous files. This sub-series consists of files that do not readily fit elsewhere in Series V - Scientific Products, Incorporated (SPI) Files.

A majority of the files in this sub-series concern SPI itself, which mainly pertain to forms and a salesmen’s handbook produced by the firm, but also includes two files regarding SPI stock offerings and a single file of articles written about the firm. The bulk of the remaining files in this sub-series concern the equipment leasing and rental industry, which include seven files regarding individual leasing companies and a single file pertaining to the industry in general. A single file concerning mass spectrometer prices (including those manufactured by Nuclide Corporation) is also preserved here.

The contents of the Miscellaneous Files consist of a variety of materials. Printed materials (consisting mainly of sales literature produced by multiple leasing companies and SPI), articles (mostly photocopies), blank SPI forms, and SPI salesmen’s handbook manuscripts are the most common materials found in this sub-series. Small amounts of other miscellaneous materials, including correspondence, notes, and article reprints are preserved here as well.
