These are the first pictures taken in the Australian National University's School of Physical Sciences at Canberra. Here Australian scientists smashed the atom last year. The school is housed in a specially constructed concrete building with walls 8ft. thick. The futuristic-looking piece of equipment above is the accelerator down which the atomic bullets are fired. In charge of it is Mr. N.F. Bowkitt. When the plant is run in, it will be possible to bombard targets with 600 billion atomic bullets a second. July 16, 1953.

"Throwing The Book" At The Regulator. "Regulations" are regular for the "Quick Flash Flasher Regulator" which means that these nerve center gadgets of the flashing buoys are allowed no lee-way in accuracy. These regulators or valves, which the students in this photo are timing so carefully, are adjusted on the split-second, so that the six flashes, each of two-tenths of a second duration, are spaced at six-tenths of a second intervals, with an "eclipse" of six-tenths of a second between. These flash groups, or cycles, are separated from each other by an "eclipse" of four and two-tenths of a second between, thus using eight and four-tenths seconds for the combined cycle of "eclipses" and flashes. (Decimal point sharks are invited to check the arithmetic.) The students in this class at the Coast Guard's aids to navigation school, Detroit, Michigan, who have learned that safety is the first rule of the sea, are now studying, by actual test, the secrets of the acetylene-fed buoys.

Women Scientists: Lucille Coltrane, Jean Clark Keating, Katherine Cullie Speegle, Doris 'Dot' Lee, Ruth Whitman, and Emily Stephens Mueller,Lucille Coltrane is at the far left. She was a computer and worked for Norm Crabill who provided positive identification. Lucille authored a NACA Research Memorandum, Investigation of Two Bluff Shapes in Axial Free Flight Over a Mach Number Range From 0.35 to 2.15 in 1958.Next to Lucille is Jean Clark Keating. Jean was identified by Mary Woerner who said that both Jean and her husband Jerry are now deceased.The third woman from the left is Katherine Cullie Speegle. Katherine co-authored two research papers: Preliminary Results From a Free-Flight Investigation of Boundary-Layer Transition and Heat Transfer on a Highly Polished 8-Inch-Diameter Hemisphere-Cylinder at Mach Numbers up to 3 and Reynolds Numbers Based on a Length of 1 Foot up to 17.7 x 10 to the 6th and Heat Transfer For Mach Numbers Up to 2.2 and Pressure Distributions for Mach Numbe

Robert H. Goddard with vacuum tube apparatus he built in 1916 to research rocket efficiency. Dr. Robert Hutchings Goddard is commonly referred to as the father of American rocketry. The same year he built the apparatus, Goddard wrote a study requesting funding from the Smithsonian Institution so that he could continue his rocket research, which he had begun in 1907 while still a student at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. A brilliant physicist, with a unique genius for invention, Goddard may not have succeeded had it not been for the Smithsonian Institution and later the Daniel Guggenheim Foundation and his employer the Worcester Polytechnic Institute of Clark University. The former gave him research monies while the Institute provided leaves of absence so that he could continue his life's work. He was the first scientist who not only realized the potential of missiles and space flight, but also contributed directly to making them a reality.
