Title
10,000-transistor multidimentional pulse height analyzer
Description
Fission studies owed much of their success to sophisticated new equipment for detection and analysis of nuclear fragments. In their Bldg. 70 laboratory, nuclear chemists John Rasmussen (left), Stanley Thompson and Harry Bowman share honors with their 10,000-transistor multidimentional pulse height analyzer.

The Internet is a wonderful vanity press. It is a bully pulpit that costs the author of a website almost nothing. Therefore, it falls on the reader to exercise increased vigilence while browsing websites because the the layers of "editors" and "publishers" have been removed from the information transfer process and so that anybody can say most anything without regard for the facts or truth. This website is no exception. For that reason, I have tried to provide copies of enough of the original materials so that the reader can make his or her own interpretations of the source documents that led me to the conclusions expressed here.
