This job schedule is a snapshot of the work being done by NTL in January, 1934. This work included the important pH meter development for the California Fruit Growers Exchange, of course, but also a project for Lee de Forest, likely a machine to coat 35-mm film with silver as part of a television projection system. This sheet also contains a short list of laboratory regulations.
