HARRIE MASSEY
The acclaimed nuclear physicist pens a letter to a professor regarding the use of his work
Autograph Letter signed: "HSW Massey" in blue ink. One page. 5¾x8¼. University College London, 1978 September 12. On letterhead of Department of Physics and Astronomy to "Dear Professor Gilde". In full: "I am sure you will have given up hope of receiving a reply to your very kind letter of March 29. Part of the delay was because the letter arrived when I was away in Australia and it was mislaid for some time. I am most gratified that you have found some of my work useful and would be interested to hear which have been of most value to you. I endorse two autographed reprints [not included] which I hope might be in your field of interest. With best wishes. Yours sincerely". Sir Harrie Stewart Wilson Massey (1908-1983), who often signed his name HSW, was an Australian-born mathematical physicist. His early work was concentrated on atomic physics. Later, he worked in atmospheric physics. In 1938, Massey accepted a chair of mathematics at University College London, becoming head of the physics department (later merged with the astronomy department) in 1950. The author of several books, he headed the British National Committee for Space Research, and helped found the European Space Research Organization. Paperclip impressions in upper left corner. Otherwise, fine condition.
