Wow, that is interesting, last I heard they had gone belly up. Go
figure. I guess somehow they restructured and came back to life, or
something.
Here in Charleston is the South Carolina Research Authority which is
sort of a local ADL, I talked to someone there at one point, she said
they had ADL alumni, but she did not know exactly who. You might take a
look at them too.

Yes. It was actually the first contract engineering/research firm in
the world, I think established in the mid-late 1800s (i forget
exactly). We did lots of work for the gummint and private industry,
sorta outsourcing their technical challenges.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_D._Little
Arthur D. Little is an international management consulting firm
originally headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, United States, and
formally incorporated by that name in 1909[3] by Arthur Dehon Little,
an MIT chemist who had discovered acetate. Arthur D. Little pioneered
the concept of contracted professional services. The company played
key roles in the development of business strategy, operations
research, the word processor, the first synthetic penicillin,
LexisNexis, and NASDAQ. Today the company is a multi-national
management consulting firm.
The roots of the company were started in 1886 by Arthur Dehon Little,
an MIT chemist, and co-worker Roger B. Griffin (Russell B. Griffin),
another chemist and a graduate of the University of Vermont who had
met when they both worked for Richmond Paper Company. Their new
company, Little & Grifffin, was located in Boston where MIT was also
located. Griffin and Little prepared a manuscript for The Chemistry
of Paper-making [4] which was for many years an authoritative text in
the area. The book had not been entirely finished when Griffin was
killed in a laboratory accident in 1893.[3]
