Abstract :
S. M. Kintner, Assistant Vice-President in charge of Engineering of the W. E. & M. Co. announces the appointment of a Scientific Advisory Board which will act in a consulting capacity to the personnel of the Westinghouse Research Laboratories. This is a part of the Research Expansion program as typified in the enlarged laboratories which by Fall will provide two and one-half times the present space facilities. The Advisory Board consists of the following scientists: Dr. C. E. Mendenhall, Head of the Dept. of Physics at the University of Wisconsin, Pastpresident of the American Physical Society and a member of the National Academy of Science; Dr. P. W. Bridgman, Professor of Physics at Harvard University, and member of various scientific societies including the National Academy of Science; Dr. Stephen Timoshenko, Head of the School of Advanced Mechanics at the University of Michigan and of international reputation; Dr. G. B. Waterhouse, Head of the Dept. of Metallurgy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; and Dr. Edward Mack, Jr., Head of the Dept. of Physical Chemistry at Ohio State University. This Advisory Board will meet as a group with the Section Leaders at the Research Laboratories approximately three times a year, and should provide an important link for closer cooperation between pure and applied science.
