6. History of IRIS Technology
Shell R&D Co. research new method to inspect air-cooled tubes.
First IRIS field trials in Shell Deer Park by J.J.Conradi.
BIX America buys world rights to IRIS for 5 years.
In the UK, BIX owned MatEval starts work on new IRIS unit.
BIX starts field trials with Shell R&D unit - Limited success.
BIX America sold and becomes Pan American Inspection.
Build first non-Shell IRIS in US - Market for IRIS service $300K
