OUTLINE OF THE CAREER OF ALBERT FREEDMAN Albert Freedman was born on 26 July 1916 in London. He received part of his early education in Fontainebleau, France and Basel, Switzerland but returned to England in 1933 to enrol at Regent Street Polytechnic, London. After attending a course of evening classes, he graduated with a BSc in Physics and Maths from London University in 1940 and was awarded a PhD for his work on echo formation in fluids by the same institution in 1962. Between 1936 and 1938 Freedman worked in the research department of The Gramophone relating to searchlight technology used in the defence of naval convoys. The following year Freedman Weapons Establishment (AUWE), in Portland, Dorset. In 1966 he was appointed Principal Scientific Officer. He stayed with the organisation for over thirty-five years until his retirement. Company, now Electric and Musical Industries (EMI), based in Hayes, Middlesex, on the development of fluorescent screens for cathode ray tubes. In 1940 he moved to Portsmouth to take up a position to assess recently captured Nazi scientific research facilities in the Netherlands. Some of Freedman’s with the Naval Establishment as a research assistant on HMS Vernon where he contributed to work joined the Underwater Detection Establishment, which later became the Admiralty Underwater exchange scientist with the Transducer Division at the US Navy Electronic Laboratory in San Diego, included the design of electro-magnetic equipment, shock and vibration protection, radiator fields, effects of baffles and layers, the measurement of echoes, and scattering and radiation processes. He was a pioneer in the use of computers for physics research and worked on the implementation of a number of specially developed early computer programmes. Freedman spent 1964/1965 as an Freedman’s work at the AUWE was varied and involved both theory and application. His interests A fluent speaker of French and German, Freedman was sent, in 1945, as a naval intelligence officer work on this assignment remains classified. A. Freedman NCUACS 137/2/05 California, USA, where his research focussed on the problems associated with transducer array and signal processing. After his retirement in 1977, Freedman continued his theoretical research work privately, concentrating particularly on aspects of interaction of plates with incident acoustic fields. He was a Fellow of the Institute of Physics and the Institute of Acoustics. He served on the editorial board of the Journal of Sound and Vibration for seventeen years and regularly refereed papers submitted for publication in Acustica, the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America and Transactions of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

Some of the research undertaken by Freedman appears to have been directly related to his various publications in journals, although some is connected with lecture courses on maths and other subjects attended by Freedman at South Dorset Technical College, Weymouth. Freedman continued his research on acoustics and associated topics after his retirement in 1977. Material relating to this later work is also presented here. It includes plots, diagrams and printout relating to his interest in and development of computer programmes for theoretical acoustic modelling using different parameters. There was no obvious scheme of organisation to the material as it was received. Freedman appears to have worked in a meticulous but rather spontaneous way recording his ideas and thoughts on whatever paper was available at the time and rarely dating or titling notes.

NOTEBOOKS 1948-ca 1974 Most of the notebooks in this sub-section, though undated, appear to have been used by Freedman during his time at the Admiralty Underwater Weapons Establishment from 1944 to 1970. Some of them have a printed label on the front cover indicating that they were distributed by South Dorset Technical College, Weymouth. Inscriptions added to the covers suggest that Freedman may have used them to record notes taken during lectures he attended at the College. The notebooks are presented in chronological order.

Freedman NCUACS 137/2/05 SECTION D ADMIRALTY UNDERWATER WEAPONS ESTABLISHMENT (AUWE) D.1-D.162 This section contains material relating to the period of Freedman’s employment by the Admiralty Underwater Weapons Establishment (AUWE). Freedman joined the Underwater Detection Establishment, which later became the Admiralty Underwater Weapons Establishment, in Portland, Dorset in 1940 and stayed until his retirement in 1977. During 1964/1965 Freedman worked as an exchange scientist at the US Navy Electronics Laboratory in San Diego, California, USA. He was appointed AUWE Principal Scientific Officer in 1966. His work included the design of electro- mechanical equipment, theoretical acoustic research, the development of shock and vibration protection and methods of echo and reverberation measurement. During the later part of his career Freedman was also involved in setting up and directing several post-doctoral research fellowships at UK universities. AUWE-related correspondence.
