From two gallons of gas oil and fuel oil so treated, approximately one gallon of gasoline could be produced. This breaking down or splitting of the molecules was called cracking. The cracking process was first (1910) commercially perfected by William M. Burton, Standard Oil of Indiana chemist. Later Texas Co. developed the Holmes...
