Mann and Mason were the last outside individuals that were given a formal tour of the plant. They were allowed to explore rooms, rarely open to the public, and were given the opportunity to take some relics for the museum. The most interesting of note may have been the company archives or "sample room" as many employees called it. This was where a number of documents and glass artifacts were held.25
