...Science has followed a tradition in disregarding commercial success when making the award. Last week the Academy departed from that tradition, awarded the 1931 chemistry prize jointly to two Germans whose outstanding work has been the commercialization of scientific processes developed in research laboratories. They were Professor Carl Bosch of Heidelberg, chairman of the I. G. Farbenindustrie (dye trust)-for his process for large-scale production of ammonia from atmospheric nitrogen-and his fellow townsman, Professor Friedrich Bergius-for his work in obtaining gasoline from coal. For the Nobel Prize in Physics the Academy could agree on no one, postponed...
Blocky, bristly Professor Bosch was a collaborator of Dr. Fritz Haber, whose process for extracting nitrogen from the air was recognized by the Nobel award of 1918. To 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...
Typical of Orlando Weber was his action when Dr. Carl Bosch of I. G. Farbenindustrie invited him to inspect the big nitrogen fixation plant at Leunawerk, Germany. To Leunawerk went Mr. Weber, but he refused to inspect the plant except from the outside. This was neither modesty nor lack of grace, but unwillingness to accept a courtesy he could not return. All the world knows about Leunawerk; it may not know about Hopewell...
...American Bosch's progress an impediment appeared in 1921 when an affiliate of the original and potent Robert Bosch Aktiengesellschaft of Stuttgart was formed in the U. S. as Robert Bosch Magneto Co., Inc. Immediately Robert Bosch Magneto Co. started to do battle with what it considered the illegitimate offspring of the first U. S. Bosch company. Patent litigation over the name continued for many years, was decided in favor of the U. S. company a year ago (TIME, July i, 1929). But Robert Bosch prepared to appeal for the right to use his own name and last winter...
Last week a far more effective truce between Robert Bosch A. G. and American Bosch was contemplated. American Bosch plans to issue more stock, acquire the U. S. Robert Bosch, become United American Bosch Corp. Significant is the omission of the word "magneto," since the Bosch activities are constantly widening. Instead of competition, complete harmony will reign over the relationship between Robert Bosch A. G. and United American Bosch, each acting as a sales outlet for the other, each cooperating 'in research. What thinks Germanophobe Garvan, who stoutly protested the formation of American I. G. Chemical Corp. (TIME...
