Re: 1mev electron accelerator?

[brian whatcott <inet@intellisys.net>]

To sing from my usual song-sheet;
about 40 years ago, a faculty member named F. B. Lee  at Erie County Tech
Institute, Buffalo described the pleasures of the amateur construction of a
0.25 Mev accelerator ( with a light metal target) for Stong's Book of
Projects for the Amateur Scientist. He specified a Van de Graaff generator.
 You will find his vacuum pump arrangements and McLeod gauge construction
interesting.

Sincerely,
Brian
