Ketchum is the surname attached to the source archive author directory, ketchum/, which hosts R. Ketchum, et al., Low Temperature Carbonization of Utah Coals, a report of the Utah Conservation & Research Foundation to the Governor & State Legislature (May 1939), at [source note 2]. The page is recorded in this wiki as 1ltcre.htm — Ketchum Low-Temperature Carbonization Page on the source archive.
What is known
The source identifies the author as R. Ketchum, et al., of the Utah Conservation & Research Foundation, in a report dated May 1939. The report concerns Low-Temperature Carbonization (LTC) (LTC) of Utah coals, placing Ketchum in the same topical cluster as Lewis Cass Karrick and the karrick-process, though the two are distinct authors and distinct pages.
What is not known
The capture of 1ltcre.htm yielded the full report text, including Ketchum's specific claims, methods, data, and conclusions on LTC of Utah coals.
Caution on attribution
Because the ketchum/ directory and the Karrick dossier both concern LTC, there is a risk of conflating the two. This wiki treats them as separate unless a source explicitly links them. See Karrick Claims vs. Evidence: The Dossier's Assertions and the Absence of Test Data for the Karrick material, which is documented independently.
