Archive Reference / Library Class No.	D5891/1/1
Title	General Investigations Book
Date	c1940s-1950s
Description	Marked "General Investigations" on spine in c1980s plastic lettering (Dymo style). Inside cover gives the original title as Practical Book and notes the name and address "J Markland, 16 Marcus Street, Derby". This was the home address of Joseph Markland, who worked alongside the County and Borough Analyst R W Sutton, and later became County Analyst. This personal touch suggests the book was originally Markland's own property, or was a semi-official record kept in private custody. It is not certain that this volume forms part of the same series as D5891/1/3-13. This volume contains the procedural description of scientific testing and results, including some samples (threads coloured using "prohibited dyes") and microscope photographs (microscopic images of beef dripping/lard).
