The "Swiss-roll" cell was developed in 1973. This paper is concerned with the most important application of the cell; the oxidation of DAS to DAG, which is one of the steps in the synthesis of vitamin-C. For proprietary reasons the details of this work have not been divulged until now. Because of the differing factors involved, but more especially to give an insight into how the project developed, the material is presented in more or less chronological order.
