Throughout the past century NBS/NIST supported a great variety of research studies in crystallography where the aim was the highest attainable accuracy in measurements. While avoiding overlap with other papers in this volume, this article...
Three steel specimens were continuously exposed in the laboratory for almost 5 years in city water to which was added 3 percent by weight of sodium chloride. Two of these specimens were under continuous cathodic protection, one by current from a...
Three recurrence formulas are developed, giving the solution of a particular case of Riccati's equation in power series valid in the neighborhoods of 0, 8 , and an arbitrary point, respectively. The first two were programed for computation on the...

Three pairs of wires are guided into three notches on opposite sides of the stacked wafers. Soldering irons, shaped to engage only the wafer notches, automatically bond the riser wires to the module. This image is from the Project Tinkertoy...
Three new tetragermanates, SrGe4O9, PbGe4O9, and BaGe4O9, of formula type AB4O9 were found. BaTiGe3O9, the germanium analog of the mineral silicate benitoite (BaTiSi3O9) was prepared for study and comparison. Indexed X-ray powder dif-fraction...
Three methods for predicting the bending of radio rays when the refractive index profile above the surface layer is unknown have been developed recently by the authors. These methods are: a statistical technique for refraction at high initial...
Three mechanisms likely to regularly produce multipath propagation are examined. These are: (1) The simultaneous existence of two meteor trails; (2) the existence of a Rayleigh-fading background continuum; and (3) the existence of two first-Fresnel...
Three independent velocities of sound can be measured along any direction of propagation in a cubic crystal except the [100] and [111] directions. These three velocities suffice to determine the three elastic constants and for the [110] direction,...
Three improvements in reduction and computation of elliptic integrals are made. 1. Reduction formulas, used to express many elliptic integrals in terms of a few standard integrals, are simplified by modifying the definition of intermediate "basic...
Thomas J. Murphy was inducted into the NIST Gallery of Distinguished Scientists, Engineers, and Administrators in 2003 “For many publications concerned with atomic weights of the elements, high accuracy analysis, and trace element analysis for such...
Thomas J. Carter of the NBS Institute for Materials Research adjusts a leather sample in preparation for a slit-tear test of the strength of the leather. This test was compared with three other leather strength test already described in Federal...
This yellow cut glass prism was given to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) by the Hungarian National Office of Measures (OMH) in honor of NIST�s centennial in 2001. The Hungarian seal is etched in the bottom. It is housed in...
This World War II era test equipment was for use with radar counter-measures (CXFD) and designed to substitute for a radar system for testing CXFD equipment (see artifact 1998.0138.001A-B), radar jammers, beacon systems, and similar devices, and...
