X-Ray Diffraction Data for Aromatic, Hydroaromatic, and Tetrahedral Structures of Carbon

Description: From Abstract: "A brief theoretical introduction of the Debye interference function is given, and an outline is made of the treatment of experimental data so that the experimental interference function can be obtained. This study is part of the investigations of the fundamental structure of coals and cokes by the Federal Bureau of Mines. X-ray diffraction is a very powerful tool in studying structure."

Studies of High-Current Metallic Arcs

Description: From Introduction: "This paper is in the nature of a progress report on the Bureau of Mines' program for arc research, combined with a correlation of information from many other sources. An attempt is made to define the arc, to report on the data accumulated, to review published work, and to advance interpretations. It is hoped thereby to supply new information, to clarify the state of arc knowledge, and to stimulate research in other laboratories."
