...Bird, the French champion and 6-to-5 favorite, was also 1) the winner of the English Derby and 2) a grandson of the U.S.'s Native Dancer. Russia's Anilin had British ancestors. Ireland's Meadow Court, the 1965 Sweeps winner, boasted a British sire, an American dam, and a trio of owners composed of two Canadians and Bing Crosby. Then there was the U.S.'s Tom Rolfe, bred in Kentucky, with a name that goes all the way back to Pocahontas. His daddy and granddaddy were Italian, and his owner is an American...
When mighty I. G. Farben was broken up by the Allies after World War II, the smallest and least known of the three major offshoots was a company called Badische Anilin und Soda Fabrik. Like the two others, Bayer and Hoechst, B.A.S.F. proved to be a true heir to the vaunted Farben inventiveness and enterprise. It quickly rebuilt its bombed-out plants along the Rhine at Ludwigshafen, then spread out over 1,580 acres to develop Europe's largest single chemical complex. Now Europe's leading producer of raw materials for plastics and synthetic fibers, B.A.S.F. increased...
Three of the hottest stocks on West Germany's stock exchange last week, avidly sought by German and foreign investors alike, were close cousins known by the tongue-twisting names of Farbenfabriken Bayer, Badische Anilin & Soda-Fabrik (B.A.S.F.), and Farbwerke Hoechst. Each was selling not far from $200 a share, and Bayer briefly outdistanced (in total market value) even the shares of Daimler, long the most popular stock on West German markets...
Close behind Bayer among the Farben heirs is Badische Anilin-und Soda-Fabrik (B.A.S.F.) of Ludwigshafen, with sales of $357 million from chemicals, plastics, dyes, fertilizers, insecticides. Worst damaged of the big three, B.A.S.F. saw its Rhineside plant at Ludwigshafen 45% bombed out, started up again in 1945 with only 800 workers. Today the smoky, sprawling plant is Western Europe's biggest chemical unit with 36,600 workers. B.A.S.F. also employs 11,000 at its Auguste-Victoria coal mine in the Ruhr. Masterminding B.A.S.F.'s comeback is its wartime head, Chairman Carl Wurster, 56, who was acquitted...
...utilize the Haber-process nitrogen Dr. Bosch designed a mechanism for the industrial production of ammonia, combining air-nitrogen with hydrogen under a pressure of 200 atmospheres at a temperature of 500-600° C. in the presence of a catalyst. As manager of the Badische Anilin-& Soda-Fabrik he built the Oppau ammonia works, without which Germany, cut off from nitrate-producing Chile, might have lost the War in 1914 by running out of munitions. (He was instrumental in perfecting the formula for making saltpetre from ammonia.) In 1917 he built the great Leuna Works to supply hard-pressed...
