Johnson of Bell Laboratories, on Sound Reproduction and on Television; the Sixth Lecture by Nobel Prize Winner Linus Pauling, "Recent Developments Regarding the Structure of Atoms and Molecules", with an original photo of Pauling in front of the display; the Seventh by G.

Beckman, Acidity and Its Practical Significance, with his signature; the Tenth by Nobel Prize winner Carl D Anderson, "Delving Into the Atom"; the Nineteenth [1946] by Nobel Prize winner Robert A Millikan, "The Atomic age and Its Interpretation"; the Twentieth by Nobel Prize winner Glenn T. Seaborg; "New Elements and How to Make Them"; the Twentieth agaiin by Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling, "Molecular Nature of Blood"; the Twenty-third by Nobel Prize winner Wendell M Stanley; the Twenty-Firth by Nobel Prize winner Edwin M. McMillan, "Cyclotrons and Synchrotrons"; the Thirtieth by JPL Director William H Pickering, "Rockets, Missiles and Satellites"; the Thirty-Second by Charles F. Richter, "Measuring Earth's Gravitation"; the Thirty-Third by Nobel Prize winner Willard F.

Ross Robertson, Leroy G. Leishman, Arnold O. Beckman], and some correspondence, but no signatures of Nobel Prize winners; posters announcing the upcoming lectures, most on card, from 1935 on, including Pauling, Feynman, etc, some in multiple copies; some correspondence; newspaper clippings about the lectures; signed records from attendance at the Annual Faraday Dinners; some notes on the lectures by the winning students; odd tickets, programs, invitations. An interesting archive, 3/4 of a file box in total. To be sold only as an entire archive, no individual items, with the possible exception of a few duplicates of the posters. Signed by Author(s).
