Industrial Copper Clad Laminates at Bakelite — 50 Years on

Underneath the foundation stone of the Tyseley factory, set in the wall of the Block 5 moulding materials building at 12 noon on April 15, 1930, are examples of phenolic mouldings, laminated materials and cast resin. The ceremony of laying the first stone was performed by Bakelite chairman, Sir James Swinburne, and witnessed by other directors and senior staff.
