BOX 1-24 Research-Cottrell and Research Corporation, 1942-1970
The Research-Cottrell and Research Corporation series chronicles Hall's career from 1945 to 1968 and documents his activities relating to the application, development, fundamentals, and research of electrostatic precipitation and industrial gas cleaning. From 1945 to 1958, Hall worked in the laboratory at Research Corporation, a non-profit organization devoted to scientific advancement, education, and research through the distribution of grants. From 1959 to 1961, Hall was an independent scientific consultant with Magnetic Specialties and specialized in high-voltage and high-powered electromagnetic equipment. As a consultant, Hall worked closely with Research-Cottrell, the successor of Research Corporation's manufacturing division previously known as the the Precipitator Division. From 1962 to 1968, Hall served as the director of research and development of Research-Cottrell. His areas of expertise included aerosol physics, corona discharges, electrical discharges in gases, electromagnetic systems and equipment, high-voltage power supplies, and sulfur dioxide (SO₂) removal. The series features some of Hall's patents such as the electrostatic agglomerator and particle collection system. There is also documentation of his efforts to create a new type of electrostatic liquid cleaner. Also reflected in the series is his work with Nothelfer Winding Laboratories on charging choke, high-leakage reactance, and pulse transformers. Furthermore, the series reveals the close working relationship between Hall and Harry J. White, Myron Robinson, and others. He maintained friendships with colleagues at Research Corporation and Research-Cottrell throughout his career, and these individuals are later reflected in other series.
Material types include articles, blueprints, calculations, charts, correspondence, data samples, drawings, graphs, memoranda, newspaper clippings, notes and jottings, patents, photographs, printed matter, progress and technical reports, sketches, slides, and other papers.
