A series of scientific case-histories
6: The Edinburgh Spectrophon by TOM COTTRELL
Professor of Inorganic and Physical Chemistry,
University of Edinburgh
' I'm a chemist, by education and by interest. I want to know about molecular behaviour, which is why I thought of ... this experiment.' The experiment led Professor Cottrell away from chemistry and into applied electronics: he had to seek help. ' But, on the whole, microphone experts aren'interested in measuring a gas squeaking when it's lit up.'
