"A PIONEER CATALOGUE" ON ATOMIC PHYSICS

EATON, PETER.

The Eaton-Richardson Library on the Atom.

(London), 1960.

Folio. Loose leaves in original cloth portfolio and slipcase. Gilt lettering to spine. Mimeographed typescript, printed on one side only. Ca. 400 unnumbered leaves.

The catalogue is very scarce, as apparently only a small number was issued. It comprises a checklist of the library and manuscript archives of Nobel Laureate Professor Sir Owen Willans Richardson, as offered for sale by Peter Eaton. Especially strong in electron theory and manuscript materials, the catalogue is also a useful reference for ephemeral material relating to pre-World War II atomic science. The collection was purchased by Texas University.
