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 number of specially developed early computer programmes. Freedman spent 1964/1965 as an to assess recently captured Nazi scientific research facilities in the Netherlands. Some of Freedman’s work on this assignment remains classified. of fluorescent screens for cathode ray tubes. In 1940 he moved to Portsmouth to take up a position with the Naval Establishment as a research assistant on HMS Vernon where he contributed to work Company, now Electric and Musical Industries (EMI), based in Hayes, Middlesex, on the development A fluent speaker of French and German, Freedman was sent, in 1945, as a naval intelligence officer relating to searchlight technology used in the defence of naval convoys. The following year Freedman joined the Underwater Detection Establishment, which later became the Admiralty Underwater 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. exchange scientist with the Transducer Division at the US Navy Electronic Laboratory in San Diego, was a pioneer in the use of computers for physics research and worked on the implementation of a Freedman’s work at the AUWE was varied and involved both theory and application. His interests 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 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. DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION The material is presented in the order given in the contents list. It covers the period from ca 1929 to 2004. research notes on a variety of topics, ranging from acoustic array investigations and bi-static scattering to lamb modes and transducer theory, documents Freedman’s professional and private research interests from 1949 to 1996. Some material relating to Freedman’s research work for Freedman’s professional career. papers submitted to scientific journals appears in this section. Plots and computer printout relating to Freedman’s work during the 1980s on programmes for acoustic modelling is also presented here. Section A, Biographical, contains a very small amount of material relating to various aspects of Section B, Research, is the largest section in the catalogue and constitutes a fairly comprehensive titled folders containing a selection of representation of Freedman’s scientific work. A series of series of formal AUWE reports authored by Freedman with associated working papers and drafts, a Section D, Admiralty Underwater Weapons Establishment (AUWE), contains material from between 1944 and 1994 relating to Freedman's period of employment by the organisation. It comprises a Section C, Publications, mainly comprises a chronological sequence of Freedman’s published scientific papers, 1948-1996. It contains working papers and drafts as well as a small amount of correspondence with publishers. Material relating to Freedman’s unfinished and unpublished books is also presented here. A. Freedman NCUACS 137/2/05 selection of lecture notes relating to courses attended at the South Dorset Technical College, Weymouth and a small amount of administrative correspondence. Section E, Visits and conferences, is composed of correspondence and papers relating to conferences and meetings attended by Freedman between 1956 and 1983. Freedman contributed a talk or discussion paper to some of these conferences, most of which took place in the UK. The section also includes material concerning several events in the USA attended by Freedman during his time as an exchange scientist based in San Diego, California. Section F, Societies and organisations, contains a small amount of material relating to nine scientific and academic bodies, including the Council for National Academic Awards, the Acoustical Society of America and the Leverhulme Trust, with which Freedman was connected. It includes correspondence and papers documenting research projects undertaken by Freedman in collaboration with the Department of Mathematics, University of Dundee. Section G, Correspondence, comprises material covering the period 1949 to 2001 and documents a range of work and research-related topics. It includes correspondence relating to proposed study visits within the UK and abroad and to Freedman’s collaborative work with staff at the University of There is also an index of correspondents.

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.

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.
