McMillan 1992 March 25Sound recordings ; cassettesTranscript : (95 leaves) ; 29 cm.William McMillan begins this interview with a discussion of his parents and youth in Montebello, California. The youngest of seven siblings, McMillan expressed an interest in science at an early age. He attended Montebello High School, where he was greatly influenced by his chemistry teacher, Leon Broock. After graduation, McMillan entered UCLA, receiving his B.A. in chemistry in 1941. Afterward, he attended Columbia University and earned his M.S. in chemistry in 1943 and his Ph.D. in chemical physics in 1945. While working towards his Ph.D. degree, McMillan was employed in the Special Alloys and Materials Project, a forerunner to the Manhattan Project. While a post-doc at the University of Chicago, McMillan worked under Edward Teller. In 1947, McMillan joined the faculty of UCLA as an assistant professor of chemistry and remains there today as Professor Emeritus. He became chairman of UCLA's chemistry department in 1959 and worked to implement more student programs and offices at the university. During his tenure at UCLA, McMillan also worked for RAND Corporation as a consultant to the U.S. military. He helped form the Group on Weapons Effects, which later became the SAGE Advisory that reported on weapons tests. McMillan also worked with the Armed Forces in Vietnam, developing concepts for artillery and military reconnaissance. After contracting hepatitis in Vietnam, McMillan researched the disease and developed a blood chemistry analysis. Some of his personal research projects have included: global warming and ozone depletion issues; atmospheric studies of Venus; and Neutrinos work. In 1971, McMillan developed his own consulting company, McMillan Science Associates. He concludes the interview with thoughts on the future of the military and defense budget, and an expository analysis of the structure of electrons.

Weaver, 1991 September 3-13.Weaver, Harold Francis, 1917-Shields, Joseph C.,Oral history interview with Harold F. Weaver, 1991 September 3-13.Transcript: 128 p.This oral history provides a broad overview of the career of Harold Francis Weaver, Professor Emeritus of Astronomy at the University of California at Berkeley. Weaver is a native of California, and received his A.B. and Ph.D. at Berkeley. Weaver's dissertation was officially supervised by Robert J. Trumpler, and utilized observations obtained at Mount Wilson and Palomar Observatories in cooperation with Walter Baade. Weaver was briefly a National Research Council postdoctoral fellow at Yerkes Observatory, and subsequently became involved in war-related work, intially in optics acquisition with the National Defense Research Committee, and later in isotope separation at the Berkeley Radional Lab as part of the Manhattan Project. Weaver was a staff member at Lick Observatory from 1945-1951, during which time he participated in a major eclipse expedition to Brazil. In 1951 he joined the faculty at Berkeley, where he has spent the remainder of his career. Weaver's early research focused on peculiar stars, star clusters, and stellar statistics. In 1958 he became the founding director of the Radio Astronomy Laboratory at Berkeley, and his subsequent research is concered with the interstellar medium. His contributions to this field include discovery of the first interstellar maser, and completion of large-scale surveys of interstellar hydrogen. Weaver has been involved in numerous committees at Berkeley, including Campus Planning and the Los Alamos-Lawrence Livermore Advisory Committees, and he has also made significant contributions to the leadership and financial management of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific and the American Astronomical Society. The oral history includes biographical information on his family, including his wife Cecile, who is the daughter of Robert J. Trumpler. Introduction to the volume are provided by Weaver's Berkeley coleagues Hyron Spinrad and Carl Heiles. Weaver's Curriculum Vitae an Doctoral Examination Program are included as apendices, along with the illustrated text of a talk presented by weaver in 1993 describing the history of the Berekely Radio Astronomy Lab and its 85-foot telescope at Hat Creek Observatory.

J.Chemical Heritage Foundation.Oral history interview with Leo Brewer, 1992 April 3Sound recordings ; cassettes (150 mins.)Transcript : (55 leaves) ; 29 cm.Leo Brewer begins the interview with a description of his family and his early years growing up in Youngstown, Ohio. Brewer's father worked as a shoe repairman until the Depression hit in 1929. Brewer and his family then moved to Los Angeles. Brewer became interested in chemistry through the influence of a high-school chemistry teacher. After graduating from John Marshall High School, Brewer attended the California Institute of Technology. After receiving his B.S. in 1940, Brewer was advised by Linus C. Pauling to begin his graduate work at the University of California at Berkeley, where he studied under Axel R. Olsen. Upon receiving his Ph.D., Brewer immediately joined the Manhattan Project as a research associate. Brewer's job was to use models in the periodic table to determine the worst properties of plutonium. Brewer tested refractory materials such as nitrites, carbides, lanthanides, actinides, sulfites, sulfides, and phosphides. He determined that cerium sulfide would serve as the best model. Later, Brewer predicted the electronic configuration of all the actinides. Brewer's research for the Manhattan Project found direct application at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, and was later published as part of the Manhattan Project Technical Series. In 1946, Brewer joined the faculty of the University of California at Berkeley. During his career at Berkeley, Brewer worked in many fields, including organic chemistry, ceramics, astrochemistry, and even geology. Within these areas, he applied his thermodynamic research, including studying high-temperature molecules present in comets and stars, and the distribution of elements in the earth's gravitational field. He is currently an Emeritus Professor at Berkeley. As an educator, Brewer taught many courses on several levels, including freshman chemistry, inorganic chemistry, thermodynamics, and phase diagram equilibration. In more recent years, Brewer and his graduate students have branched their research into metallurgy. Brewer concludes the interview with a discussion of his published papers, the future of research support and application, and thoughts on the future of education.

J.Thackray, Arnold, 1939-Chemical Heritage Foundation.Oral history interview with Frank J. Biondi, 1996 March 19Sound recordings ; cassettesTranscript : (57 leaves) ; 29 cm.This interview discusses Frank J. Biondi's education, career, and involvement in The Electrochemical Society, beginning with college experiences as a chemical engineering major at Lehigh University and initial work at Bell Telephone Laboratories [BTL]. Biondi describes his position within the structure of BTL in the 1930s and reasons for his pursuit of graduate education at Columbia University. After completing his master's degree in chemical engineering, he enrolled in the Ph.D. program and became involved in the Manhattan Project. Biondi worked on a gaseous diffusion program to separate uranium 235 from uranium ore, designing the diffusion barrier used for the atom bomb. Biondi describes the reasons for Union Carbide's appropriation of his barrier's design and related patent applications and process details, and the subsequent manufacture of large amounts of barrier. After making his contribution to the Manhattan project, Biondi returned to BTL work and focused on electronics, initially developing long-life cathodes used by the British during the war. He continued cathode work, becoming involved with the ASTM to standardize three nickel alloys for electronics industry electron tube cathodes. Biondi describes his rise through various BTL departments, his entry into transistor work, and associations with The ECS, which began in an effort to assure BTL metallurgists designing semiconductor devises an outlet for publishing and presenting their work. After touching on solid state activity and descriptions of new electrochemical processes in ECS publications the interview returns to Biondi's BTL career progress, particularly his relationships with N. Bruce Hannay and R. M. Burns, the electronics industry's first dust-free white room, semiconductor work for satellites, and improvements in battery manufacture and design. The interview closes with comments on the effects of changes related to AT&T and Lucent Technologies, the future of The ECS, and consulting work since retirement from BTL.

Born in Budapest, Hungary in 1898, Szilard moved to Berlin in 1919, where he studied engineering and physics and received his doctorate under Max von Laue at the University of Berlin. He migrated to England in 1933 where he made important discoveries relating to the nuclear chain-reaction. After moving to the United States in the late 1930s, he worked on the Manhattan Project and made significant contributions to the development of the atomic bomb. After World War II he concentrated on the field of biology and became one of the world's leading advocates of global cooperation and arms control. He was associated with many universities, including Oxford, Columbia, and Chicago. In 1951 he married Dr. Gertrude Weiss. In 1963 he became a fellow of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. He died in San Diego, California, in 1964. The majority of the materials in the Szilard papers date from the late 1930s to the early 1960s -- the period following Szilard's move to the U.S. Materials dating from earlier years include patents, personal documents, and a number of letters. The collection best documents Szilard's work on the atomic bomb and his efforts on behalf of arms control and world cooperation. The papers are organized in twelve series: 1) BIOGRAPHICAL MATERIALS, 2) CORRESPONDENCE, 3) WRITINGS, 4) SUBJECTS AND ORGANIZATIONS, 5) FINANCIAL RECORDS, 6) ADDRESSES, 7) GERTRUDE SZILARD MATERIALS, 8) PHOTOGRAPHS, 9) AUDIO MATERIALS, 10) AUDIO-VISUAL MATERIALS, 11) ARTIFACTS, and 12) NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS.

Manuscript DivisionLukens Steel Company. Executive officer files, 1903-1979.Lukens Steel Company.Executive officer files, 1903-1979.76 linear ft.The records are a selection of files from some of the executive officers of the Lukens Steel Company of Coatesville, Pa. They begin in 1903, when the company discontinued the use of general letterbooks. Only two of the company's top officer, Charles Lukens Huston and his son Stewart Huston, preserved their files more or less intact. The other series are fragments preserved by either of the two Hustons. Taken together, the files cover most of the important developments in the 20th century history of the company, but with a shifting emphasis. Subjects include the electrification and modernization of the plant, the employment of African-Americans and European immigrants, the impact of the Depression, the cultivation of new markets, World War II business, and post-war conversion and growth. One of the more interesting units contains minutes and memoranda of the Business Problems Group of the Society of Friends, an group of Quaker industrialists who attempted to respond to the labor radicalism and strife of the 1915-23 period with Quaker-style conciliation and consensus-building. Post-1949 presidential files consist entirely of speeches and public relations material. The files of Charles Lukens Huston are relatively complete. He was in charge of operations and production and also served as Works Manager until 1925. From 1928 to 1963 the files of his son, Stewart Huston, primarily reflect his duties as corporate secretary and his role representing the company in a variety of trade and civic associations. After his election to the vice presidency following his father's death in 1951, his files contain an incresing amount of material generated by the board of directors and its committess, providing more detail on executive decisions. The files of both Hustons reflect their adherence to conservative and evangelical causes. There are a number of interesting tangential items relating to bomb shelters and uranium prospecting in the 1950s, and examples of health-food diet regimens from the 1920s. The files of Darwin S. Wolcott and the comptroller's office include material on Lukens's contribution to the Manhattan Project. The files of the treasurer's office include material from the Coatesville Opportunities Council regarding rehabilitation of low-cost housing in the late 1960s.

With the advent of World War II, Hannay received a student deferment from the draft because his doctoral thesis at Princeton University--involving the measurement of dipole moments--related to the synthetic rubber program. While still at Princeton, Hugh Taylor involved him in the Manhattan Project and after receiving his Ph.D. in 1944, Hannay took a job with Bell Laboratories, where he continued his work on the Manhattan Project. Once the war ended, Hannay began research on the mechanisms of thermionic emission from oxide cathodes. The invention of the transistor in 1947 led him to focus on silicon, which was deemed more useful in semiconductor research than single crystals of germanium. This work resulted in Hannay's development of a mass spectrograph to analyze solids. Soon after, Bell Labs asked him to coordinate the silicon research. In 1954, Hannay became a research supervisor, and he discovered a preference for management. Following this inclination, he continued on at Bell Labs in various management capacities until his retirement in 1982. This interview concludes with Hannay's brief assessment of the chemical industry and its need for more research autonomy.
