...checks weights and measures, tests and develops materials for industry. N.P.L.'s director-an important post in British science-lives in the palace where William IV lived as a prince with his mistress, as a king with his queen. Three weeks ago Professor William Lawrence Bragg, physicist, distinguished son of a distinguished father, moved out of the palace to become boss of Cambridge University's famed Cavendish Laboratory (TIME...
Last week it became known in England that Dr. Charles Galton Darwin, mathematical physicist, distinguished grandson of Charles Darwin, would move into the Teddington palace, having been appointed N.P.L.'s new director...
...Christ's College, Cambridge, since 1936. In 1931 he compared physics to "a mother who has just given birth to several healthy children, but has not yet recovered sufficiently to know what is going to happen next." Physics has given birth to several other children since then, and Physicist Darwin will try to deal with them all, since research in pure science as well as industrial work goes on at N.P.L. He will move into the palace with a wife and five real children...
...strips through the one-thousandth-inch spectroscope slit. After passing through, these slices of light are recombined into a single band, suitable for analysis, by a cylindrical lens. The Bowen image-slicer makes it possible to use 50% to 75% of the available light, instead of 5% to 10%. Physicist Rudolph Meyer Langer of Caltech declared that "the new method ranks with . . . the very greatest improvements in astronomical technique in several generations." In connection with Caltech's 200-inch telescope, which is expected to start action two or three years hence, the image-slicer may help clear...
...Treasury report, and 29 others were unlisted presumably because they received less than $15,000 yearly. Of the remaining 16, ten got $25,000 or more, and four made more than $50,000. The top four were Photography Expert Charles E. K. Mees of Eastman Kodak Co. ($54,000); Physicist-Engineer Frank Baldwin Jewett of Bell Telephone Laboratories ($55,000); Chemist Charles M. A. Stine of E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. ($65,000); Chemist George Henry Clowes of Eli Lilly & Co. (drugs...
