He studied to be an artist pre WW2, but enlisted and was in the army signal corps in Japanese occupation, possibly WW2.</p><p><br /></p><p>After the war he went to Harvard for a Physics PhD. He would have been there in 1950 when this was printed. He could well have taken a course or worked with a professor using the Cyclotron. Brilliant that you found a citation for it at CERN from Harvard University Press! If the Harvard University Press book was so marked inside (this one is not), then this could have been an early version printed for students before it went to press.</p><p><br /></p><p>From the preface: &quot;Finally, the reason for preparing this report was to provide a source of useful information to those who are to use this machine in the future and also, it is hoped, to those who will be involved in building similar machines elsewhere.&quot; 211 pages 8-1/2 x 11.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]175725[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
