The most important single development in the use of molybdenum disulphide as a lubricant was probably the initiation of studies by the US National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) in 1946. Their first report was published in 1948. This work by NACA and its successor the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) laid the foundations for the great expansion in use during the past forty years. The overall increase in activity in this period was so rapid that by 1952 Climax published a list of 154 different applications.

The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) is a valuable source of information concerning plastics materials used in aircraft, such as transparent plastics, adhesives, and laminates of various types. Many reports on these materials are included in two comprehensive indexes (5, 4) of NACA technical publications. The reports are listed under subject headings, one of which is Plastics. To supplement the above, NACA Research Abstracts (5) is issued biweekly, listing reports on projects sponsored by... 

During World War II Professor McAdams was active in research projects for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, the National Defense Research Committee, and the OflBce of Naval Research, for which he received the Presidential Certificate of Merit. In 1957 the first National Heat Transfer Conference was dedicated to him for distinguished services to the engineering profession, and particularly to the art and sciences of heat transmission. ... 

Professor Whitman is probably best known in technical circles for his development of the two-film theory for gas absorption and for contributions in the corrosion field. His later years were devoted largely to administration of the department and to public services such as the War Production Board, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, Science Advisor to the Department of State, and Secretary General of the U.N. Conference on Peaceful Uses of the Atom. His citation on election... 

He was awarded the U.S. Medal for Merit and Great Britain s King s Medal for his service during World War II as Chief of the National Defense Research Committee s Fire Warfere Section and on the Gas Turbine Committee of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. After the war he was Chairman of the National Academy of Sciences Fire Research Committee for 10 years. He helped initiate and served for... 

During the years I knew him, he was a very busy man. His administrative responsibilities were substantial, not only as Head of the Physics Department but also as an Associate Director of Research with broader concerns. He served the National Research Council as an active member of its Committee on Catalysis and the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics as a prominent member of its subcommittee on Lubrication, Friction and Wear. Those were heavy responsibilities during the years of World War II. He was a member of the Advisory Council of the American Institute of Physics and was an Associate Editor of the Journal of Applied Physics. He was active also on the Advisory Committee of the American Petroleum Institute s Research Project 44, which was a very active one during the war. Needless to say, he travelled a lot. In his spare time he led an active personal life. He lived on a small ranch in the countryside to the east of San Francisco Bay there he bred and rode horses he was also a skier and had a lively interest in photography and other visual arts. His wife was an accomplished sculptress and they had many friends in the world of the arts. 

Bush was in the process of reorganizing government science when he received the NAS report. The NDRC, empowered equally with the military laboratories and the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, had served for research but lacked the authority to pursue engineering development. Bush proposed a new umbrella agency with wide authority over all government science in the service of war, the Office of Scientific Research and Development. Its director—Bush—would report personally to Roosevelt. Bush prepared to move up to the OSRD by calling in Conant to take over the NDRC. And only after it was clear that I should shortly...
