description Dr. Palmer had been involved in research into the properties of sulphur, which was described in an article in the Birmingham News on April 18, 1939 ("Dyes, Plastics, Synthetic Rubber Among Results of University Experiments"): "Harnessing of strange properties of sulphur, discovered in 10 years of experimenting in the University of Alabama chemical laboratories, may give the world a new synthetic rubber, a new source of dyes and plastics and perhaps new drugs to treat man's ailments. The peculiar properties of sulphur, mainly its varying reaction to certain vapors at different temperatures, were discovered by Dr. S. J. Lloyd, dean of the school of chemistry, and Dr. George D. Palmer, associate professor, and open up a new field of possibilities." (The image is damaged due to deterioration of the original negative.)
