WWII: Pearl
Harbor--H&T supplies the government with water conditioning
equipment.
Churchill Hungerford was the President of the Water Conditioning
Institute, which enabled water conditioning equipment to be more
easily specified and obtained.
The US Navy needed removal of oil from condensated water spilled
overboard and calls on H&T to resolve the problem.
The US Army wanted filter plants (not made of wood because of
insects in the South Pacific) so they were all manufactured in
metal. |
