In 1964, Custom Service Chemicals in Newark, Del., hired a consultant to come up with a new name for the company. Because they do “analytical technology,” the consultant suggested AnalTech, and they accepted the suggestion, though without capitalizing the T. This week, a pickup truck crashed into (yes) the rear of their building. Emergency responders smelled a foul odor emanating from the hole: Analtech staff explained the truck disturbed a chemical lab. That escalated the response to a hazmat situation, and it took three hours to declare the scene safe. Two people were transported to a hospital for treatment.
