Biographical History
Dr. Richard S. Egly was Associate Scientific Director of the Research and Development Department at the Terre Haute, Indiana plane of the Commercial Solvents Corporation (CSC). CSC was started at the end of World War I as a joint U.S.-U.K. venture to provide the British with stockpiles of acetone, using the patents of Chaim Weizmann. Although they grew into a full service chemical corporation, explosives and ordinance were always a prominent part of their activities. Richard S. Egly was a specialist in the production and refinement of nitropolymers for propellant usage. He began working at CSC as a chemical engineer in 1940 and remained as a part-time consultant after his retirement.
