ROBLEY D. EVANS AND THE MARKLE CYCLOTRON.
American physicist Robley D. Evans found his calling as a Caltech (California Institute of Technology) graduate student when he began to work with Los Angeles County Health Officer Frank Crandall to investigate the deleterious effect of radium-containing patent medicines that were being manufactured in the area. He went on to devote his life to researching the physiological effects of radiological substances, both positive and negative. He joined the faculty at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1934 and was responsible for building the Markle Cyclotron, the first cyclotron in the world for biological and medical use. His book, The Atomic Nucleus, published in 1955, was a basic text for graduate students in in nuclear physics.
The present archive contains an overview of his life and career with material from his Hollywood High days through his time at Caltech and his professorship at MIT. Items include his heavily annotated copy of the Atomic Nucleus and related material, 4 cases of glass medical slides he had used in his research, a 16 mm film reel related to his work on an episode of the CBS Conquest hour on radiation poisoning, patent documents, congratulatory letters from colleagues such as Nobel laureate William A. Fowler as well as material on awards he had won.
Perhaps most interesting is the collection of photographs and 8 mm film documenting the construction of the Markle Cyclotron. The archive contains about 87 5 x 7 inch gelatin silver photographs and 4 reels of 8 mm film that show both the construction and the interior instrumentation.
