In 1954, Beckman Instruments' headquarters moved from Pasadena to Fullerton, California.

Some photos are undated, but the ones with dates were taken between 1943 and 1953. Several have a photographer's stamp on the back indicating they were taken by Preston E. Mitchel, although a few are unattributed.
