| Description | These folders contain Blackett's lectures and papers on the history and application of Operational Research, given after the Second World War. Many are relatively short, but some were published as contributions to the history of the object, and some were deliberately controversial when Blackett felt that scientific methods, wrongly applied, were endangering peace (see especially D.109).
The material is chronologically presented; all papers are autograph manuscript unless otherwise stated. D.110-122 include offprints and printed matter used as background material, often with Blackett's annotations and underscorings. |
