Once the laboratory experiment has been translated into larger scale factory methods, production in terms of tons can go ahead. Here is a shed in a large British dyestuffs concern in which some of the intermediates (the chemicals which will finally be transformed into the finished dyestuff) are made.The British Chemical Industry.Britain was the original home of the chemical industry and to-day, when its products ere essential to almost all industrial production, the British chemical industry stands in a leading position. From iron ore smelting to the manufacture of clothing materials, modern industry cannot function without a vast range of chemical products. And Britain's great industrial ability is in no small measure rooted in the strength of the British chemical industry, Its products enter almost every phase of daily life; they are as essential to the farmer as to the doctor or surgeon.
