Birkhoff, Garrett, 1946-1949

The correspondence files are housed in five folders arranged alphabetically by the last name of the correspondent. Most of the correspondence deals with Pugh's efforts to publish a comprehensive article about explosives with lined cavities. Separate folders have been made for each of the co-authors: Garrett Birkhoff (Harvard), D.P. MacDougall (Naval Ordinance Laboratory), Geoffrey Taylor (Cambridge, England), and C.H.M. Roberts (Naval Ordinance Officer). The folder for Sanford, Edward contains correspondence about the arrangements for some of his doctoral research to be done under Dr. Pugh. The last folder contains miscellaneous correspondence about his research and publications.
