Pilot plant work is done in close cooperation with y personnel. The accelerated aging and upgrading process, if feasible, could - provide a substantial saving in invaitory and interest and would result ~ . in improved quality of tobacco with possible savings in leaf costs: -{ It is probable that in the rature new raw znaterials and interznediates will be necessary and processing means must be dzveloped to make them / . feasible in the factory.

It is a spearhead operation -- learninq to walk beSore we can run. It teeds fuel to our product development efforts and provides the necessary fundamental technical tools. Ultimately, research is intended to keep us in business over the long pull. N C C C ~ C ~ CO ~ CTR HN 0283'71
