Introduction The establishment of new and better standards of physical measure- ment and the development of techniques and instruments for using these standards throughout the Nation are the primary concerns of the National Bureau of Standards. Advancement in measurement is fundamental to technological progress and to scientific growth. To fulfill its principal responsibilities, the Bureau must conduct an imaginative and vigorous research and development program in the physical and engineering sciences. This report reviews the Bureau's work for the past year and presents some of the more significant achievements resulting from the work. Standards and measurement are fields of dynamic research interest. There are literally hundreds of physical standards, and there is a continuous search for new ones. Every major scientific advance must be preceded and followed by new standards and measurement techniques and associated standards. Precision measurement almost always precedes important developments in the experimental sciences. In fact, the precisions achieved in measure- ment may well be considered as indicators of the stage of progress in a particular experimental science. Greater accuracies in experimental data enable, in many cases, the reconciliation of conflicting research theories and the advancement to "discovery" which is so significant in the opening of new areas of scientific investigation. The effort devoted to the measurement sciences, therefore, should be consistent with need for newer and more refined techniques and instru- mentation. In the past decade, research, in both public and private laboratories, has expanded at a rapid rate. The requirement for finer tolerances in our production industries has also become more pressing. New areas of scientific and industrial development have been opened up, each requiring new data on the basic properties of materials, new stand- ards as reference points in making systematic progress, and new methods of measurement which are reliably related to the whole chain of standards and physical constants. The National Bureau of Standards is conscious of its responsibilities to these new areas of science and technology. In many of these areas, professional members of the Bureau's staff are conducting important pioneering research studies in order to produce the critical measurement data required. Within the limits of its budget, and with the cooperation of other scientific organizations throughout the country, the Bureau is following a course of increased concentrated activity in the field oi measurement research. — 1.2.

The conference, based on a recommendation of the National Inventors Council, was sponsored by the Office of Invention and Innovation, Institute for Ap- plied Technology, under a grant from the Experimental Technology Incentives Program, NBS. The pur- pose of the conference was to study the climate for invention and how to make it one in which America's inventors can flourish for the common good. Eighteen invited papers were presented. In addition, the proceedings includes statements from the chairmen of the three sessions: Charles S. Draper, Jacob Rabinow, and Myron Coler.

WARNER FOREWORD Commemorating the " Radio Pioneers Party" of the New York Section of the Institute of Radio Engineers, this souvenir book attempts to present a thumb- nail review of radio before 1926. If it stimulates the memories of the old timers, it will have achieved its purpose. Inevitably, certain of the editors were able to contribute mdre fully than others. Especial mention is made of Lloyd Espenschied who, practically over- night, wrote the outline of history from the chronology by Donald McNicol; and of George H. Clark, confirmed radio historian, whose inexhaustible files made this book possible in the brief time available for its compilation. The preparation of the various committee lists was undertaken by Louis G. Pacent, Hugo Gernsback, and John di Blasi. Grateful acknowledgment is made of the permission granted by Bryan Davis Publishing Company ( Radio Engineering) and Telephone and Telegraph Age for the republishing of the chronology by Donald McNicol.

Biographical Memoirs, VOLUME 85 PUBLISHED 2004 BY THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES PRESS WASHINGTON, D.C. C. CHAPIN CUTLER December 16, 1914–December 1, 2002 BY PING KING TIEN HE ECONOMY WAS IN a depression between 1929 and 1934, Tand the country went to World War II between 1941 and 1945. C. Chapin Cutler built his character and his strength in those chaotic years. He led a successful career of research in communication science for more than four decades. His inventions in radio, radar, signal coding, im- aging, and satellite communications earned him more than 80 patents, numerous awards, and a worldwide reputation. Shortly after he received the Alexander Graham Bell Medal from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Cutler said in the spring 1992 issue of the WPI Journal, “I don’t think I’m really that smart. I just think my imagination got turned on at an early age and that gave me tremendous motivation.” Cassius Chapin Cutler was born on December 16, 1914, in Springfield, Massachusetts. He was the son of the late Paul A. and Myra (Chapin) Cutler. He was raised in a small town environment and was educated in the public school systems of western Massachusetts. His resourcefulness and ingenuity had their roots in his youth and later in his edu- cation at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
