Scope and Contents of Collection

Professional and personal papers of Glen Spielbauer, including letters, manuscripts, laboratory notes, newspaper clippings, and photographs. The collection consists primarily of incoming letters concerning questions raised by Spielbauer's independent research in physics, his published articles and responses to his inquiries concerning certain scientific institutions and their research. Manuscripts are of articles published while in high school and as a college freshman in journals such as the AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHYSICS, the PHYSICS TEACHER, and the JOURNAL OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL SOCIETY on x-ray design, cathodoluminescence, electrochemistry, and proofs of relativity. Laboratory notes cover work in electrochemistry, electric fields, high frequency radiation, properties of lead, sound produced by electromagnetism, and the properties of sulfur. Clippings document Spielbauer's early and enthusiastic interest in physics. The collection also includes personal photographs.
