ohn is a process engineer for Stardust Chemical Corp., and he has signed a secrecy agreement with the firm that prohibits his divulging information that the company considers proprietary. Stardust has developed an adaptation of a standard piece of equipment that makes it highly efficient for cooling viscous plastics slurry. (Stardust decides not to patent the idea but to keep it as a trade secret.) Eventually, John leaves Stardust and goes to work for a candy-processing company that is not in any way in competition. He soon realizes that a modification like Stardusts trade secret could be applied to a different machine used for cooling fudge and, at once, has the change made.
