Drafts and ideas for research, c. 1941-1963

 sub-subseries
Identifier: Coll-37/C.106-C.131
Scope and Contents From the Sub-Series: Under this heading are grouped all data, notes and correspondence which were not included in Appleton’s named folders, but were received as loose and disordered papers. Most of them relate to his period at Edinburgh University, when he conducted collaborative research on a number of ionospheric projects simultaneously. His consistent collaborator was A. G. Pritchard (later Turnbull) whose data comprise many different topics; for the period c.1949-54 he also worked closely with A.J. Lyon...

Drafts and ideas for research on F layer, c. 1936-1960

 sub-subseries
Identifier: Coll-37/C.56-81
Scope and Contents From the Sub-Series:

Appleton's original labelled folders do not appear to have survived for the early research; those which are included here (Coll-37/C.94, C.97-C.99) are mainly from the Edinburgh period. Much of the material in this sequence has been assembled from loose papers. Appleton's own research ideas, discussion papers and drafts occupy Coll-37/C. 56-C.81 followed by an approximately chronological sequence of data and correspondence (Coll-37/C.82-C.105).
