Research notes

Bound volume of the Rohm & Haas company magazine, v.11-13, 1953-55; search-only (limited view). HathiTrust full-text search for the phrase "tufting gun" matches this volume; it is the earliest-dated match of 76. Page not yet identified (the in-volume search did not load). Why it matters: Hand tools and the gun, open question "early uses of 'tufting gun' (before 1964)": a 1953-55 use of the phrase. Needs the page number (search inside the volume on HathiTrust) to see what tool is meant. Found: HathiTrust full-text search, "tufting gun", 2026-10-28.
