7 INTRODUCTION The development of chemistry, like that of the other fields of science and technology, has depended greatly upon the availability of instruments. Accordingly, the study of the history of instrumentation is a major area in any survey of the progress in this science. Recognizing this fact, the Division of the History of Chemistry of the American Chemical Society organized and held a very successful symposium on the history of chemical instrumentation during the Washington, D.C. National Meeting in Re~arks, both formal and informal, made during this symposium stressed points that soon become obvious to anyone who looks at the ancestry of present-day instruments. In some cases, the total history is measured in years, rather than in centuries. Chemical instrumentation, by no means confined to the laboratory, is vital in industry. There is a natural tendency to discard an item of any kind when a newer version is acquired. Often, "to discard" means "to scrap". If the item scrapped is an instrument that is unique - sometimes the last of its kind - we have a permanent artefactual gap in the history of science. These points, together with the ever-growing importance and development of the tools of the chemist, led the Divisions o f the History of Chemistry and of Analytical Chemistry to the joint organization of a more ext ensi ve symposium that formed part of the ACS National Meeting in Chicago in The inclusion of the words "and preservation" in the title stresses the importance of thinking and inquiring before scrapping. Only by the co-operation of all scientists and technologists can we hope to minimize or, hopefully, avoid losses like those of the past. The eighteen papers in the sympo s i um deal with instruments ranging from the very simple to the highly complex, with histories long, medium, or short. Some of the authors have not only first-hand knowledge of the history of a particular type of instrument, but have also contributed to the making of thi s history. These facts, together with the many favorable comments received during and after the sympo sium, strengthened our resolve that the accounts presented should be placed on permanent record in a single collection. The Editors intend this book to be a tribute to instrument makers, whether vii
