- Dayton) arranged for Carlson to give a demonstration to Crout.
- Crout was "intrigued by the opportunity to apply Battelle's expertise in physics", so sought the advice of Dr Roland M.
- Schaeffert, the head of the institute's newly created graphics division.
- Following a promising report from Schaeffert, Crout told Carlson that the institute would negotiate terms.
