| Description | Informing Dean Brown 'of the great research success which Professor Harwit has now had. A rocket-borne set of instruments, designed and built entirely under his guidance in our laboratories, has been flown successfully and measured for the first time the infrared emission from various astronomical objects in those wavebands in which the atmosphere is quite opaque. A very difficult technique had to be devised for such rocket-borne instruments, and Professor Harwit has been the leader in this field'. Goes on to discuss Professor Harwit and the work he carried out in more detail. The letter is not signed but is probably from Thomas Gold. |
