A MASS SPECTROMETER SYSTEM FOR MATERIALS RESEARCH SUMMARY REPORT, PHASE I. Period covered: April 1, 1958 through January 1959. Project title: MATERIALS ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION TECHNIQUES. Task title: MOLECULAR AND ATOMIC STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

A report of progress during the first phase of research and development on a high-performance mass resolving system for research on trace impurities in solid structure is presented along with thermodynamic studies of high boiling (l000 ction prod- C) materials and identification of unknowns by determination of molecular weight.
