1978 GOULD INC. PRESS PHOTO



This is Gould Inc.'s official press photo that was released to news media throughout the United States. The back of the 8" x 10" black and white glossy photo is dated June 5, 1978.

At least one newspaper ran the following article:

"Officials at Gould Inc.'s Cleveland Laboratories would like to see the new $1 U.S. coin be made from lightweight titanium instead of the nickel-copper coin now under consideration.

The laboratories here, which have been a pioneer in powdered titanium technology, have actually produced several hundred titanium coins to demonstrate the feasibility of the metal, said Edward L. Thellman, manager of commercial and contract developments for the laboratories here."
