History
The site was Esso's main European technical centre for fuels and lubricants. The site was extended in 1957.
Structure
It was situated on the western side of the A4130, around a half-mile south-west of the junction with the A34. The site had the staff of Esso Research, with around 500 scientists and engineers.
Function
It conducted research into chemistry.
gollark: Yes I do.
gollark: Of course, liquid *inside* you may boil.
gollark: You aren't boiling because you are not a liquid.
gollark: No, it's as hot as the rest of the CPU, roughly.
gollark: > The ES runs asynchronously on a self-timed circuit and uses thermal noise within the silicon to output a random stream of bits at the rate of 3 GHz. The ES needs no dedicated external power supply to run, instead using the same power supply as other core logic. The ES is designed to function properly over a wide range of operating conditions, exceeding the normal operating range of the processor.It isn't very specific.
