MoreThe Greaves-Walker Ceramic Engineering Papers, 1925-1952, contains correspondence, financial records, reports, notes, calculation sheets, drawings, and other papers documenting A. F. Greaves-Walker's consulting work with industrial businesses, mostly in the United States but some in Canada. Topics include clay and mineral analyses, brick production, and design of facilities and equipment (including kilns). Some files were originally in the North Carolina State University Department of Materials Science and Engineering Records (UA 105.014) and were transferred to this collection. Greaves-Walker Engineers was the consulting firm of A. F. (Arthur Frederick) Greaves-Walker (1881-1954), who in 1924 founded the ceramic engineering program at North Carolina State College (later North Carolina State University). For a time in the 1920s, the firm was known as Greaves-Walker and Shands, when it offered mechanical engineering as well as ceramic engineering design services. It had become Greaves-Walker Engineers by the late 1930s.
