Abstract
This thesis is essentially a report on the work done on War Research projects during the past year. It consists of two parts: A. The Combustion of Hydrocarbons and Pollution of the Atmosphere to Render Automotive Equipment Inactive. B. The Synthesis of Divinyl Sulfide from Acetylene. Work was started during the fall of 1939 on the Oxidation of Hydrocarbon - Alcohol mixtures, but was early discontinued in favor of a war research project, the Synthesis of Divinyl Sulfide. This problem developed into a long time project and was temporarily abandoned in favor of the problem on the Combustion of Hydrocarbons and Pollution of the Atmosphere to Render Automotive Equipment Inactive.
