We now have turned our energies toward
helping people appreciate and learn more about the significance and beauties
of science, its older scientific apparatus, its experiments. We are presently
working on expanding methods of teaching a particular part of science.--that
is -- encouraging a revolution in outlining the safe guards scientist
have had to create and continue to create to insure
the reliability and accuracy of their data and conclusions. We firmly believe
the scientific community needs, especially the teaching
aspect, to reach out more vigorously by advertising using
rational emotional techniques the nature of how scientist cross check
their data and conclusions the they reach. Some readers will point out
that It is already being done teaching the scientific method..
Nevertheless there is strong evidence (note) that it is not being
absorbed o Last but not least We are trying to find better ways for encouraging everyone to support stronger funding for basic scientific research.. Click here to visit one of our favorite our projects the

Below Follows a Detailed History of Jim and Rhoda's
Professional Experience in Science and Engineering Including a
Selection of Papers, Books, TV/Movies, Patents and Professional Societies. Rhoda: Summary of Work Experience Prior to Rhoda's current co-ownership of "Antiques of Science and Technology" with Jim and teaching college chemistry at community colleges, Rhoda's career spanned from chemical research and development to a technical and business career in photographic chemistry. At Avco Corporation in Wilmington, MA she worked on synthesis of ablation materials for re-entry vehicles, followed by basic research in plasma physics (described in more detail by Jim below). In her early career at Polaroid Corporation, Rhoda was Chemical Analytical Development Group Leader for the integral film division in the development of dye, silver and polymer systems in instant photography products.
Her career then turned toward the technical manufacturing and business side of chemistry. She became responsible for the production operations of all sheet and filter polarizing products as Technical Production Manager for the Polarizer Division, followed by Chemical Development Manager for Integral and Industrial Coatings to Materials Manager for the five Photographic Component Manufacturing plants. Before leaving Polaroid to work with Jim in their joint venture, she was Material Manager for all of the Chemical Production plants for the integral and industrial products of the Polaroid Corporation
Besides her contributions at AVCO where she co-authored a series of papers on high temperature radiative properties of atmospheric gases, further discussed below, her technical achievements at Polaroid included studies of photographic mechanisms, stabilizing gelatin based intermediates against bacterial degradation, and characterizing fine chemicals used in dye, addenda, and polymer systems. These included establishing processes in photographic media such as gelatin/aldehyde cross-linking using infrared spectroscopy and viscosity techniques and characterizing solvent addenda on dye developers by thermal differential scanning calorimeter - the latter yielded important links of these states to changes in dye transfer rates in the photographic negative. In her business and manufacturing responsibilities Rhoda concentrated on new product introductions and eventually on business practices and turnaround efforts. As an example of a major achievement, she led a cross functional team in an eighteen month program to manufacturing excellence through a supply chain management initiative. This effort improved customer deliveries to 95%, reduced inventories and production cycle times by 50% for a $40mm industrial coating and chemical mix plant. Team members included operations, materials, engineering, finance, program, and training group leaders. These improvements were driven by extensive staff and plant member training in MRP (Manufacturing Resources Planning) practices. Since leaving Polaroid Rhoda has been teaching college chemistry and working with Jim in their business "Antiques of Science and Technology". See below for a description of their activities in this joint venture. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jim: Basic Research 1955 to 1972 Jim's research work had been sufficiently original, timely and useful to permit him to be elected as a member of the executive committee for the American Physical Societies Gaseous Electronics Conference and to be voted as the chairman of the Arc Symposium Committee. Jim also had been included as one of the participants in the Department of Air Force's Data Exchange Agreement made between the German Ministry of Defense and the Department of Defense U.S.A. Every major university and research laboratory in this country and overseas doing serious work in plasma spectroscopy had asked to be put on his distribution list for reprints and papers covering his research or requested individual reprints. Jim was a reviewer of scientific papers for the Physical Review, Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer, Review of Scientific Instruments, Journal of the Optical Society of America, Journal of Geophysical Research, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and Applied Optics. Jim has authored and coauthored proposals to government agencies outlining research work sufficiently original and well planned to be awarded 10 million, current, dollars worth of contractual work over his career.
Research assistant - Assistant Physicist. Jim worked as the project leader in the Optics section where his activities centered around planning and performing experiments to measure the thermal radiation properties of metals and dielectrics. Specifically these measurements were to determine the total and spectral emissivity and solar absorptivity. Jim designed and operated equipment to measure the spectral and total emissivity’s for temperatures from the boiling point of liquid nitrogen to the melting point of the material under study. He also made measurements of the temperature dependence of the complex index of refraction of tungsten up to 2000°K. He contributed to infrared guided missile programs where the interest was in building target simulators, also in counter measure efforts studying short lived pyrotechnic flares. Through these projects Jim gained a substantial background in physical and applied optics, and visible and infra red photometry.
Jim: University of Chicago. 1959 to 1961. Staff member. At the Laboratories for Applied Sciences, Jim directed the efforts of 15 to 20 professionals, technicians and machinist and carried out spectroscopic diagnostic studies of the plasmas that were being used for material evaluations and MHD devices. Initially, these studies were temperature measurements and evaluations of conditions of equilibrium. Jim was later responsible for the study of a magnetically collimated arc which was identical to the type used in the DCX thermonuclear experiments at Oak Ridge. The goal for this project was to reach an understanding of the "Physics" of this type of arc and to obtain a sufficient amount of information about individual arcs to allow a proper selection of one which would be most suitable for the DCX project. This work included measuring the translational and thermal velocities of the ions in the arc column with line shifts and shapes. Jim evaluated the excitation temperatures from line intensities, determined the electron and ion temperatures using Langmuir probes and made mass spectrometric determinations of the density ratio of the various ions present. 'While at the university, Jim continued some emissivity measurements begun at Illinois Institute of Technology. These studies were made for heat shield materials of space reentry vehicles. Jim also did some arc electrode development work for high powered electric arcs.
Jim & Rhoda: AVCO Corporation, Wilmington, Massachusetts. 1961 to 1971 Staff Scientist up to Group leader and. Senior Consulting Scientist. At AVCO, Jim organized a group of 4 to 8 physicists and chemists to do research work in low temperature plasma physics. Jim funded this group by originating and submitting proposals of research to Air Force and NASA agencies. In performing this research Jim planned the efforts, actively participating in every aspect of the research from designing equipment, building it, operating it, to reducing data and writing reports and papers. The output of these efforts resulted not only in contributions to the scientific literature but to the engineering community as well. The topics of this research centered around radiation and thermal properties of partially ionized nitrogen, oxygen, air, argon and hydrogen. For the radiation studies Jim attacked the problem by establishing, with existing theories, the major radiating mechanisms. Jim then designed experiments around constricted electric arc generated plasmas to obtain data to test the accuracy of these theories. This required measurements of spectral line f values, widths, and or shapes, recombination and free continuum cross sections. These data had to be supported with temperature density and equilibrium measurements. The wavelength regions used covered the far infrared to the vacuum ultraviolet. For the latter wavelength region, Jim had aided in the pioneering efforts to establish the constricted arc as a useful plasma source for vacuum ultra violet radiation studies. Jim have also contributed in a similar manner to establishing the use of pulsed arcs to reach high plasma temperatures. From an engineering point of view the radiation data were put into tabular form for predicting the radiation transfer or output for a large range of plasma conditions. Jim carried out work similar to the radiation studies for the electrical and thermal conductivities of partially ionized gases. In this area, Jim was able to resolve the major differences that existed between theory and experiment and aided in establishing under what circumstance arcs could be useful plasma sources for determining thermal conductivities. Along with these programs, Jim contributed to the development and manufacture of high efficiency high intensity infrared lamps for military applications. Concurrently, Jim ran shock tube studies for the emissivity of molecular radiators in the far infrared. Jim also had recently and independently developed spectrochemical apparatus and techniques for the detection and quantitative measurement of gases such as oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, as well as other elements whose spectral lines fall in the vacuum ultraviolet region of the spectrum. Jim also had developed an integrating sphere reflectometer for the far infra red, and a radiation standard for the vacuum ultraviolet. Incidentally the work supported the heat shield design for NASA's Apollo Moon program
Jim: National Bureau of Standards 1971 1972 Group leader Plasma Physics brought in contracts from the Air force to look at the continuum and line radiation in the vacuum ultra violet. The production of a Mercury laser for the green portion of the spectrum. The electrical conductivity of Mercury. Jim developed a radiation standard for the vacuum ultra violet using end on constricted electric arc technology.
Jim: General 'Telephone & Electronics Corp. for the industrial / commercial division Lighting division 1972 to 1993.
Experience in Applied Research Inventing and Product Development Jim joined GTE Sylvania in 1971 as an engineering specialist in the physics laboratory at Danvers headquarters. Jim was appointed senior engineering specialist in 1972 and manager of the engineering, computer and math department in 1974. In 1975. Jim became manager for the new product support laboratory in Danvers headquarters In 1979 Jim was appointment as manager of new Product Development Group for the General 'Telephone & Electronics Corp. for the industrial / commercial division Lighting division. Jim was awarded more than 18 U.S. patents, won the highest company award for technical achievement, including dozens of new products and major improvement of processing and manufacturing. In staff development Jim's teams won major company awards for their contribution to the product lines.
Jim & Rhoda: Antiques of Science and Technology 1995 to Present
Rhoda and Jim have ten years of experience as technical consultants and advisors to the media filming business on science related movies, books and television projects. We furnish and or build props, assist in the development of experiments, and train personnel in the operation of equipment and conducting technical experiments. A major interest and concern of our work is to assist the director, actors and staff to produce accurate as well as interesting science scenes and enactments for their program.
Resources: In the past 35 years we have developed a collection of over 2000 historical instruments, artifacts of science and technology. Our resources also include a laboratory for conducting chemical, physics, and electronic experiments. We have a very complete shop for wood, glass, metal, and electronics fabrication and testing. Using his extensive experience in constructing experimental apparatus and product prototypes in 40 years of R&D, Jim has developed skills in restoring and replicating historically significant scientific instruments and devices. Our large number of diversified instruments, the knowledge gained in researching their history, a replication, fabrication and testing capability, and our 40 years of professional experience in science and industry enable us to offer what we believe is a valuable resources for the media in filming science and technology subjects.
