Papers, 1920-1970.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/81212230

Manuscripts; research notes; correspondence; reprints; published patents. The manuscripts, research notes, and the majority of the correspondence cover such topics as wave mechanisms, classical electromagnetic theory, a mechanical system of theoretical physics, rotational ethers, McCullagh ethers, and relativistic classical ethers. The collection reflects little of the scientific and technological activity for which Hartley is known. Rather, it deals almost exclusively with Hartley's theoretical research from the later 1920s until his death. The various attempts to defend a classical mechanistic view of physical phenomena and to discard relativity theory and quantum mechanics are well documented, as is his often frustrating effort to find a audience in the official community of physicists and philosophers of science. Correspondents include: David Bohm, Louis de Broglie, Charles W. Churchman, Lloyd Espenschied, Samuel A. Goudsmit, Herbert E. Ives, Henry Margeneau, Thomas Marshall, Marvin G. Moore, Harry Nyquist, John T. Tate, and Carl Wiley.

Lloyd Espenschied (1889-) was born in St. Louis, Missouri and in 1909 graduated from the Pratt Institute in electrical engineering. During 1909-1910 he was on the staff of the Telefunken Wireless Telegraph Company. From 1910 to 1934 he worked for American Telephone and Telegraph Company in various capacities; and from 1934 to 1937 he directed high-frequency transmission development for the Bell Telephone Laboratories. Espenschied's chief interests seem to have been in the area of wide-band and c...
