Inothi Lomhleli: Ngokubambisana neBartlesville Regional History Museum, i-Examiner-Enterprise ibuyisela ikholomu ethi “Revisiting the Past” eyashicilelwa ngu-Edgar Weston ongasekho emaphephandabeni kusukela ngo-1997-99. Ikholomu kaWeston ilandisa ngomlando wezifunda zaseBartlesville naseWashington, eNovata nase-Osage. Njengomuntu othandekayo, wathatha umhlalaphansi njengomsizi wenkantolo yaseWashington County, elandela isifiso sakhe sokuthola umlando wendawo nokwabelana ngawo nabanye ngohambo lwakhe lwebhasi nezincwadi. UWeston washona ngo-2002, kodwa umsebenzi wakhe uyaqhubeka. Iqoqo lakhe lamakholomu lisanda kunikelwa emnyuziyamu ngumndeni wakwaWeston. Sizobe siqhuba enye yamakholomu akhe njalo ngoLwesithathu njengengxenye yesici sethu esisha saseWeston Wednesday.
Ngesonto eledlule, sibonga iVeke Lonjiniyela lika-1976, sibuyekeze impumelelo yobunjiniyela yendawo yaseBartlesville ngesikhathi sokuthuthukiswa. Siyaqhubeka:

1962: UPhillips wamemezela ukuthi isithasiselo esisha sokuvimbela i-acing ezinhlelweni zikaphethiloli wendiza savunywa yi-FAA futhi samukelwa yi-US Armed Forces. UPhillips usungule i-chromatograph yokuhlaziya ukugeleza okuqhubekayo kanye nokulawula izitshalo okuzenzakalelayo.
1964: I-BPRC ibonise ukusebenza kahle kwe-STP ekwandiseni amazinga okujova amanzi. I-BPRC iphakamisa umqondo wokusebenzisa iziqhumane zenuzi ukukhuthaza ukukhiqizwa kukawoyela negesi. I-BPRC yathuthukisa amasu e-radiochemical ezifundweni zokuzinza kukaphethiloli.
· 1965: Onjiniyela behhovisi baxazulula inkinga yokususa amabhlogo amanzi ekwakhekeni kwegesi. I-BPRC ithuthukisa izindlela zezibalo ukuchaza iziguquguquko ezihilelekile ekugelezeni kwesikhashana kwamagesi agciniwe kanye noketshezi ukuze amakhompyutha asetshenziswe ukubikezela amandla okulethwa kwemithombo yegesi impilo ebikezelwe yamasimu amasha. I-BPRC ithuthukise imishini namasu e-microhydrogenation ukuze kufundwe ama-organosulfur compounds. I-BPRC ithuthukise amasu okuhlaziya i-X-ray ukuze kufundwe ukwakheka kwephethiloli. I-BPRC ithuthukise imishini nezinqubo zokuthatha amasampula okukhipha umoya emotweni futhi ifunde ukusabela kwama-hydrocarbon ekukhishweni komoya emoyeni emotweni kanye nedizili.
1966: I-BPRC inquma izakhiwo ze-thermodynamic zamakhemikhali e-organic ezinto ezilula ezisetshenziswa ohlelweni lwesikhala. UPhillips usungule inqubo entsha yokwenza ama-blacks e-furnace ajwayelekile.
1967: UPhillips waklama futhi wakha isitshalo se-LNG esiphumelela kakhulu emhlabeni eKenai, e-Alaska, futhi waqala ukuthumela i-LNG ngemikhumbi yamathangi.
1968: UPhillips waklama futhi wakha isitshalo sokuqala sikaphethiloli wemvelo endaweni yokubeka uphethiloli ogwini lolwandle eLake Maracibo, eVenezuela. I-Applied Automation Inc. yasungulwa ukuklama, ukuthuthukisa, ukukhiqiza nokuthengisa amathuluzi e-chromatography kanye nezinhlelo zokulawula amakhompyutha. UPhillips wethula i-Large Granule Furnace Black.
· 1969: UPhillips wethula i-K-Resin, i-copolymer entsha ye-butadiene ne-styrene. I-Reda Pump Co. ihlangana ne-TRW. I-National Zinc Co yakha isitshalo esisha se-sulfuric acid esibiza amaRandi ayizigidi ezimbili eBartlesville. UPrice usungule umshini omusha wokuthola ama-holiday tubes ambozwe nge-coated.
1970: I-Skyline Corp. iqala ukusebenza eDewey. I-BPRC yanquma inani elithuthukisiwe lamandla e-interatomic ngokutadisha isivinini somsindo ku-helium ecindezelwe.
1972: I-BPRC ifaka futhi iqhumise ngempumelelo ishaja enkulu kunazo zonke ye-nitroglycerin emthonjeni kawoyela. I-AAI inikeza ama-chromatograph asebenza ngekhompyutha angu-2C. I-Phillips ithuthukisa, iklama futhi yakha izinqubo zokukhiqiza izithuthukisi ze-viscosity index ezithuthukisa izici zokugeleza kukawoyela wamafutha ezimoto. I-Phillips yathuthukisa i-Ryton, uhlobo olusha lwepulasitiki lwezinhlelo zokusebenza zobunjiniyela. I-Phillips ithuthukisa futhi iqala ukwakha izikhungo zokusebenza zaseNorth Sea. Lokhu kufaka phakathi ithangi lokugcina uwoyela ongahluziwe elingukhonkolo elingama-million barrel elisephansi kolwandle elineziteshi zokuqala zokupompa uwoyela ongahluziwe kanye neziteshi zokucindezelwa kwamapayipi egesi yemvelo, ama-compressor e-centrifugal okujova igesi enomfutho ophezulu, kanye nepulatifomu yohlelo lomlilo olugcwele amanzi lokukhiqiza nokucubungula.
· 1974-76: I-ERDA ithuthukisa izindlela zokuthuthukisa ukubuyiswa kukawoyela negesi kanye nokwandisa ukukhiqizwa kukawoyela we-shale.
1975: I-Heston Waste Equipment Division iqala ukusebenza eDewey. I-AAI inikeza ama-terminal e-CRT ezinhlelo zokulawula amakhompyutha. I-BPRC yashintsha igama layo yaba yi-ERDA, i-Energy Research and Development Agency.
1976: I-National Zinc Company yashintsha isithando sokuncibilikisa ngefektri entsha yokuhlanza i-electrolytic. Uhlelo lwamapayipi omgwaqo wamanzi oluvela eFreeport, eTexas oluya eCushing, e-Oklahoma luzoqedwa ngohlelo lwekhompyutha oluzenzakalelayo ngokuphelele lokubuyisela ukulawula kwayo yonke imisebenzi e-Adams Building.
