Dry hydrogen brazing furnace plans, 1949, 1953
Scope and Contents
The Henry J. Nolte papers (MC 37), 1915-1960, contain student and professional papers documenting Nolte's education at RPI and aspects of his work at General Electric Company on Vacuum tube development, and ceramic- and glass-to-metal seals. The student papers contain notes, exercises, and labs in such courses as calculus, german, electricity, and physics. The physics notes (box 1 folders 3-4) also contain notes on quantitative analysis and inorganic chemistry. The professional papers, 1915-1960, contain a set of laboratory notebooks, project files, materials regarding patents, and a collection of symposia proceedings and reports. The laboratory notebooks, 1915-1940 provide notes on Nolte's daily or weekly activities at General Electric Company, notes on experiments, data, and figures. The project files 1919-1957, arranged alphabetically, represent only a small portion of Nolte's work. Files contain a variety of internal and published reports, notes, correspondence, curves, figures, plans, data, financial information, etc. documenting Nolte's development of a high power pilotron and a metal vacuum tube, his studies of the properties of glass, ceramics, and metals, ceramic- and glass-to-metal seals and development of a dry hydrogen brazing furnace. The patents files includes correspondence and figures regarding Nolte's work on metal-to-ceramic seals, evacuation by internal getter, and a bracket for attaching a can to a ladder. The reports, primarily General Electric Company Research Laboratory reports, include papers on German Vacuum tube techniques (1945), ceramic-to-metal seals, etc.
