Contributor: Parks, Gordon
Resource: ExxonMobil historical collection
Description: Photo spread entitled "Faces," from Photo Memo No. 3, January 1947, featuring 2 photos (of 12 total) by Gordon Parks on pages 6 and 7. Text reads: "Oil is people. No document of any phase of the oil industry is complete without a roll call of the men and women who plan, guide, ad execute its countless operations. Their pictures abound in our photo file. Here the ’roughneck,’ the lab worker, the rigger, and the map maker are shown in revealing studies on and off the job. Here may be found local color in beards in the far north, adventure in the route of a river pilot, heroism in the rounds of a field nurse who averages 100 miles a day of solitary driving. Behind every portrait is a story of a personality in relation to a many-sided industry, and the candid studies on these pages are but a sampling of the human interest material in our photographic files."

Title: Photoelectric Colorimeter, Photoelectric Colorimeter
Identifier: di_10879
Creator: Rittase, William M.
Dates: 1937
Resource: ExxonMobil historical collection
Description: A black and white photo of a man working on a machine called the photoelectric colorimeter. On the back of the photo, there’s an inscription that reads, "11. Photoelectric Colorimeter, While the color of an oil is not usually significant in itself, color may become very important in conjunction with other considerations. Uniformity of processing or the relative behavior of oils under certain conditions are examples of a need for precise color measurement. Most of the methods for measuring color involve the human eye to a greater or less degree but the human eye is often incapable of good precision and varies considerably from one time to another and among different individuals. In this colorimeter developed by the Research and Development Laboratories the human equation has been eliminated, hence it yields greater precision than is possible by visual methods of color measurement. (Research and Development Division)" There’s a stamp that reads, "Photo by, William M. Rittase, 247 S. 15th St., Phila Pa, Phone, Pen 1418, Print No. S.V. 20 1937."
