EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1910 and 1920 by Harris & Ewing, captures a significant moment at the United States Bureau of Mines (USBM) in Washington, DC. The image features a dedicated scientist, likely employed by the Bureau, engrossed in an intricate experiment. He is intently focused on the viscosimeter, an essential instrument used to measure the viscosity of fluids. The viscosimeter, a crucial tool in the field of fluid mechanics and industrial research, is accompanied by a "TAG" closed tester, manufactured by G. J. Tagliabue Manufacturing Company in Brooklyn, New York. The USBM, the primary US government agency responsible for scientific research and disseminating information on the extraction, processing, use, and conservation of mineral resources, was at the forefront of technological advancements in various industries during this era. The scientist's attentiveness and the presence of advanced scientific apparatus in the laboratory setting underscore the importance of research and development during this period. The use of a pocket watch and a timer further emphasizes the meticulous nature of the experiment. This image, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the world of industrial research and the pivotal role the US Bureau of Mines played in shaping America's scientific and industrial landscape.
