Re: looking for Nancy Wood

[Bernard L Cohen <blc+@pitt.edu>]

There was a Nancy Wood who made geiger counters in the late 1940s. At the 
time, her end window counters were the best available and I owe my Ph.D. 
to them. I haven't heard about them since the early 1950s, when other 
bigger companies learned how to make good GM counters, and scintillation 
counting took over most of the work.
