Anton Federle, Sub-foreman in the
Electric department with duties at the
Telephone Exchange, was first employed
by the Company at Wood River, Illinois,
June 27, 1924. His service, which has
been continuous with no deductible ab-
sences, has been at Aruba since his
transfer here January 10, 1929.

The nine lines above are the standard
cold story carried in the service records.
Behind them, though, lies a bigger and
better story, made of the stuff that
often goes into tales of adventure.
Tony joined the Navy in Dezember,
1917, and was assigned to an Army
transport as radio operator. For the
next couple of years his ship, controlled
by the U.S. government, ran a sort of
international shuttle service, carrying
Red Cross supplies to troops who were
fighting the "Bolsheviks", and trans-
porting back to their home countries
some of the batches of soldiers of many

"Nothing can be more seriously and more
deeply meant than when I wish you God's strength
as you go through the dark volley".
These were Queen Wilhelmina's words, broadcast
to her people in Holland on May 10, fourth anniver-
sary of the invasion, and just 27 days before the
new invasion in the other direction that will free
Europe.
All Europe is entering the dark valley. Some of it
will be torn to shreds as hundreds of thousands of
men fight over it. The rest will feel the invasion
through increased bombing, greater food shortages.
and repressions that will grow more fierce as the oc-
cupying Germans become "jittery" at seeing doom
approach.
The hardships the conquered peoples have endur-
ed for the last four years may seem mild in compari-
son with those now awaiting them, but, as Queen
Wilhelmina also said:
"At the exit of every valley you emerge into space
and light".

Op den 10den Mei i.l. richtte Koningin Wilhelmi-
na zich via den ether tot Haar Volk in Nederland met
den vurigen en innigen wensch, dat God Haar Volk
tracht moge geven bij het gaan door het donker
ravi n.
Zo sprak Zij op den vierden verjaardag van de
Duitsche invasie en slechts 27 dagen v66r een ande-
re invasie werd ondernomen, een invasie die Europa
bevrijding zal brengen.
Gansch Europa gaat thans het donker raviin bin-
nen. Een gedeelte zal verwoest worden door het ge-
vecht van honderdduizenden strijders om haar bezit.
Het overige gedeelte zal de invasie voelen door
ioenemende bombardementen, een nijpender tekort
aan voedsel en een dwingelandij die steeds erger zal
-worden naar gelang de Duitsche onderdrukkers ze-
nuwachtiger worden bij het zien van hun naderenden
ondergang.
De ontberingen, die de onderdrukte volken gedu-
rende de laatste vier Jaar hebben geleden zi llen mis-
schien nog gematigd schijnen vergeleken met het-

100


OCTANE


WEEK


THE United States Armed Forces designated a week in May as "100 Octane Week" to pay
tribute to the petroleum industry's great achievement in producing the vast quantities of this
aviation super-fuel needed for the air armadas of the United Nations.
At this time it is fitting to record the pioneering part played by scientists, engineers, and other
employees of companies affiliated with Standard Oil Company (New Jersey) in development of
aviation gasolines.
To date 1 out every 4 U.S. and British warplanes has been powered by 100 octane gasoline
produced by the men and women of companies affiliated with Standard Oil Company (New Jersey).
During 1943 these men and women produced two and one half times as much 100 octane
gasoline as they had produced in 1942.


No other group in
fuels. The roots of these


the world has made greater contributions to the development of aviation
achievements go deep into the past. Here is a brief summary of their record-


1903: KITTY HAWK-A Standard Oil
Company (New Jersey) refinery suppli-
ed the gasoline for the Wright brothers'
history-making flight.
1924: TETRAETHYL LEAD (ETHYL
FLUID)-The entire world's commer-
cial production of tetraethyl lead, the
astounding knock preventive discovered
in 1921 by Midgely of General Motors,
is based on the process developed by
Standard Oil Company (N. J.) techni-
cians and demonstrated first in May,
1924, at Standard Oil's Bayway, New
Jersey, Refinery. Tetraethyl lead today
more than doubles the available quanti-
ty of 100 octane gasoline.


this 1,000 gallons of di-iso-butylene was
converted by hydrogenation into is- -
octane (2, 2, 4-tri-methyl-pentane) and
sold throughout the oil industry for re-
search and test purposes. Iso-octane, at
first used only as a yardstick of fuel
quality (100% iso-octane = 100 octane
number) was previously available only
at extremely high cost.

1929-1934: ARMY EXPERIMENTAL
PROGRAM-Standard Oil Company
(New Jersey) fuel technicians cooperat-
ed with U. S. Army air experts at
Wright Field, Dayton, in their early
engine development program of evaluat-
ing high octane gasoline for military
aircraft. Thousands of gallons of high-
octane experimental fuels were supplied
during this period.

1934: COMMERCIAL ISO-OCTANE-
Runs on nllnt-tvnf prnninmpnt dmonn-


aviation base stock than all other Unit-
ed Nations refineries combined.
1938: ALKYLATION-The first com-
mercial alkylation plant was placed in
operation at the Baytown Refinery of
Humble Oil and Refining Company,
Standard Oil Co. (N. J.) affiliate, in
September, 1938, thus opening a vast
new field in reducing costs and increas-
ing supply of 100 octane. The alkylation
process now provides the major share of
high octane blending agents.
1940: ISOMERIZATION-The first com-
mercial isomerization plant, reed to
derive critically important isa-butane
from plentiful normal butane, was put
into operation at the Soengei Gerong


_ __._ ~

An airplane engine burns up Its own
weight in gasoline in two hours.


1927 1937: EARLY TkANS-ATLAN.
TIC FLIGHTS-By 1937, 87 of the 91
successful trans-Atlantic flights had
used our aviation gasoline, and no flight
using our gasoline had failed.

1927: CATALYSTS IN REFINING-
The process of catalytic hydrogenation
of petroleum was first brought to this
country by Standard Oil Company (New
Jersey) in November, 1927. The process
.represents the first large-scale applica-
tion of catalysts to the oil industry.
Catalytic processes are a basic techni-
que in making 100 octane.

1929: COMMERCIAL SYNTHETIC
FUELS-One thousand gallons of di-iso-
butylene produced in plant scale equip-
ment at Bayway Refinery, Standard Oil
Company of N. J., first demonstrated
the basic procedure for synthesis of high
octane fuels and opened the way to the
essential low-cost high octane blending
agents which made 100 octane gasoline
possible. In cooperation with the Ethyl
Corporation and a chemical company,


Standard Oil Company (N. J.) affiliate.
This revolutionary process (technically:
high pressure hydrogenation using sul-
fur-resistant catalyst) remained for
years a major source of synthetic iso-
octane for 100 octane gasoline. Today it
still contributes an important share of
critical high octane components to ex-
tend the supply of 100 octane.

1935: DISTRIBUTION OF 100 OCTANE
BEGINS-So far as we know, commer-
cial distribution of 100 octane gasoline
commenced with the delivery of about
ten barrels of finished 100 octane gas-
oline by Carter Oil Company, Standard
Oil Company (N. J.) affiliate, to the
Municipal Airport, Tulsa, Oklahoma, on
June 29, 1935, for use in the Southwest
Air Races that year.

1937: SYNTHETIC AVIATION FUEL
BASE STOCK-Commercial use of ca-
talytic processes for synthetic 100 octane
base stocks was inaugurated by
Standard Oil Company of La. in June,
1937, with the use of the full-scale high
pressure catalytic hydrogenation plant
at Baton Rouge. For years this plant
produced more synthetic high octane

Refinery, Palembang, Sumatra, N. E. I.,
of Nederlandsche Koloniale Petroleum
Maatschappij, Standard Oil Company
(N. J.) affiliate, in March, 1940. (This
plant was destroyed two years later to
keep it out of the hands of the Japs.)
Isomerization is today a vitally im-
portant source of essential raw material
for 100 octane. Experience from the
operation of this first plant has be2n of
important use to our technicians in
development of the process now used for
one-third of all the world's isomerization
capacity.

1942: FLUID CATALYTIC CRACKING
-The first catalytic cracking plant uti-
lizing the remarkable "fluid" principle,
designed by Standard Oil Company (New
Jersey) engineers, was put into opera-
tion in May, 1942.
With the completion of the nation's
present construction program, the flu'd
catalytic cracking process becomes the
major new factor in the industry's capa-
city for producing 100 octane gasoline.


ALL developments, processes, patents and know-how of our engineers and chemists in 100 octane
have been made available to the oil industry. We have cooperated in speeding production and
extending supplies of 100 octane.
In the keen devotion of our employees to the job in hand, there has not been a single strike
or "slow-down" in this company or its affiliates since long before Pearl Harbor.
Recognized leaders in this field, participants in an outstanding and continuing production
achievement, these employees may well look with pride at the record they brought to "100 Octane Week."

The Esso News often prints pictures of
movie stars, but Hollywood has no
corner on feminine beauty, as the pic-
tures at right will prove. The girl with
the guitar (she plays it, too) is Cecilia
Feliciano, 16 years old, who is the aunt
of Raymundo Feliciano, an apprentice of
the 1941 class. In the second picture she
is drawing water from the cistern at
her home in Ajo.

The complications of warti-e travel
brought two visitors, Gosta Hall and
Professor Edy Velander. here last week
after they travelled 2,C00 miles south in
order to reach a point in the far north.
The two were members of a Swedish
trade mission to the United States who,
after finishing their discussions there
on post war collaboration problems, flew
to Aruba to catch a Swedish tanker that
would return them to their homeland.
Professor Velander, who is Director of
the Royal Swedish Institute (engineer-
ing and scientific research) was in Ber-
lin only six months ago, during some of
the heaviest Allied air raids. In ArubaI
he did nothing more exciting than hunt-


ing for conch shells to take to scientific
friends in Sweden.
The two men also took a large box of
groceries, which will probably be more
welcome than the conchs in that Axis-
surrounded country.

nationalities who were left scattered all
over the Eastern Hemisphere after the
Armistice in 1918.
Most of the voyages seemed to be
hounded by disaster of one sort or an-
other. At one time they picked up 1,000
Czechoslovakian troops in Siberia, for
unloading in Italy. Struck by a typhoon
as they passed through the Yellow Sea,
the ship piled up on a reef and Tony
sent an SOS for an hour and a half
before it was answered. They were final-
ly taken into Kobe, Japan, where the
ship was drydocked for three months
and Tony played baseball against Japa-
nese teams.
After discharging the Czechs in Italy,
they went to Constantinople and picked
up 1,000 French troops. Coming back
through the'Dardenelles Tony had an-
other SOS to send when the ship caught
fire. The fire was put out, however, and

they reached Marseilles safely.
The next job was to carry 1000 Span-
tsh immigrants to Cuba. This time, half-
way across the Atlantic, an epidemic of
spinal meningitis broke out among the
Spaniards.
Surviving typhoon, fire, and epidemic,
Tony was finally discharged, and went
to work at Wood River. Refinery work
was probably dull after his experiences
at sea; at any rate, he quit after a year
and for the next four and a half years
played professional baseball, playing
with five different western teams before
rejoining the Company to start his 20
years of continuous service.
