but it led me on to the pdf of a memoir by a chemist Max Gergel that was a great read. A so called golden age of nil PPE, pouring byproducts into a hole in the backyard and frequent flash overs and explosions!

His insouciance with dealing the isocyanides (part of the Bhopal disaster) is incredible. A great read!
