Catalogue of the papers and correspondence of Reginald Victor Jones CH FRS (1911-1997) VOLUME Il Sections D- G NCUACS catalogue no. 95/8/00 by Alan Hayward R.V. Jones NCUACS 95/8/00 SECTION D RESEARCH TOPICS AND SCIENCE INTERESTS D.1-D.456 The material in this section is the contents of Jones’ box files of correspondence and papers relating to his active research interests and topics in which he took an interest. The papers may include correspondence with colleagues, manufacturers and sellers of scientific equipment, drafts of publications and lectures, and manuscript and typescript notes. There is some overlap between topics so material found under one title may be continued under another, or a single sequence of correspondence may be interspersed between subjects. the same topic may be found under ‘Aberrations’, ‘Aether Drag’ and ‘Polarimeters’. Thus, for example, work on At D.456 is a typescript translation of a paper by Niels Bohr, 1941. Jones’ titles have been reproduced in the catalogue entries and the material is arranged in alphabetical order by title as follows: D.1-D.19 ‘ABERRATIONS’ D.20-D.30 ‘AETHER DRAG’ D.33-D.47 ‘BROWNIAN MOTION’ D.63, D.64 ‘COMPUTERS’ D.31, D.32 ‘ASTRONOMY.

Following his appointment in 1946 as Professor of Natural Philosophy at the University of Aberdeen Jones continued to be involved in intelligence matters as a consultant to the Ministry of Defence. Then in 1952, at the invitation of Churchill, Jones returned fulltime to Defence work as Director of Scientific Intelligence within the Ministry of Defence. He held the post for little over a year and returned to the University of Aberdeen at the end of 1953. This period at the Ministry of Defence was not particularly productive for Jones who felt unhappy at the way in which Scientific Intelligence was organised. He nevertheless continued to advise the Ministry and returned briefly for six months in 1963-1964 as Chairman of an Air Defence Committee Working Party.

Jones NCUACS 95/8/00 Science related interests F.116-F.118 Hannay diamonds 1968-1979 The claim that James Ballantyne Hannay had successfully crystallized diamonds in the early twentieth century was regarded by many as a piece of scientific mythology. However, an article in Chemistry and Industry by E.P. Flint in 1968 argued that this scepticism may have been misplaced and that Hannay chose conditions be favourable to the creation of diamonds. had subsequently been shown to that Jones, with his interests in both diamond synthesis and the history of science, refereed the original paper and commented upon it when it was published in ‘A note on the Hannay diamonds’, Chemistry and Industry, 1968. The matter was not settled and in 1975 tests suggested that Hannay’s diamonds were not in fact synthetic but natural. Flint and R.H.S.

Jones NCUACS 95/8/00 Science related interests F.142-F.164 The Robbins Report and university expansion 1963-1990, n.d. The problems of rapid university expansion had concerned Jones since the late 1940s. Although he believed an expansion of the universities was necessary he was concerned lest too rapid growth should detract from the quality both of the students and of the staff. The bulk of this material relates directly to the Robbins Report of 1963 and its subsequent implementation. Jones believed his misgivings, publicly aired at the time, were shown to be valid and returned to this point as universities ran academic standards. difficulties financial slipping student protest, into and Again, this material should be consulted in association with that in the University of Aberdeen section.
