Today - the library is finally in possession of a specimen of one of John Uri Lloyd's inventions, the Cold Still. It arrived this morning, November 17, 2011, at 9:30 am. With some maneuvering (see photo at left of it coming off the truck), it made it through the door. We're all excited that we finally own one of these gems of pharmaceutical history and will have more than a picture of it to show in the museum. We are in the planning stages for creating a History of Pharmaceutical Chemistry Exhibit and are really happy that the Cold Still will be part of it!
