Title: Notebooks [microform], 1914-1926.

Notebooks and correspondence. The notebooks (12 items, 1914-1916) are microfilms of Davey's research notebooks while a physicist at General Electric, covering x-ray investigations of ion-packing and crystal structure, corrosion-resistant metal varnish, effects of x-rays on biological specimens, structures of organic compounds, fluorescent screens, investigations of conduction, insulation and the properties of dielectrics, rust-proofing and lubricating oils, and the growth of metallic crystals. The correspondence (ca. 80 items, 1927-1957, 1964) includes letters to and from Dan McLachlan on the subject of their co-authorship of two books on crystal structures and x-ray applications; the remainder of the correspondence contains letters between Davey and the American Zinc Company on research and personal matters.

Title: History of physics manuscript biography collection M-R, 1901-1989, [ca. ca. 1960]-1989 (bulk)

Included are typescript autobiographical or biographical essays about physicists, solicited since 1960 by the American Institute of Physics, and responses to biographical questionnaires sent to physicists working chiefly in the following areas: nuclear physics, astronomy and astrophysics, laser science, and geophysics. Other biographical and autobiographical writings take the form of letters, eulogies, travel diaries, curriculum vitae, and bibliographies. All of these document the lives and scientific careers of physicists born roughly between the mid-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Among those represented are: Duncan A.
