The scientists loved to give tours of their labs but found it necessary to produce these very large posters to explain their equipment and processes. It made their visitors feel smart. They could begin to ask questions and respond to what they saw. It took the tour to a whole new level of understanding. Fun with science!

Seems like an impossible thing to do even now.
