Decades before The History Channel or the Discovery Network there was Adventures in Research. The program was sponsored by Westinghouse, a company which knew the importance of science and research. In fact, the program was written by physicist Phillips Thomas, who was on the staff at the Westinghouse Laboratories. Adventures in Research highlighted technology, inventors and their inventions. Subjects were presented as dramatic plays and ranged from atomic power to cash registers.
