Additional information

W. W. HARVEY majored in chemistry at Bowdoin College (B.A. 1947) and in physical chemistry at MIT (Ph.D. 1952). For six years beginning in 1950 he held faculty positions in chemistry. From 1956–63 he was a member of the research staff at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory. On joining Ledgemont Lab. of Kennecott Copper Corp., his research became directed toward extractive metallurgy. In 1975 he joined EIC Corp. in Newton, Mass. as Vice President and Director of Process Development.

M. R. RANDLETT studied electrical engineering at the Univ. of New Hampshire and received an associate’s degree in M.E. from Northeastern Univ. Prior to joining Kennecott Copper Corp. in 1964, he was an electronics project engineer with Block Engineering and Associates. At Kennecott’s Ledgemont Lab. he engaged in research in thin-film physics and later became involved with new-generation electrowinning and electrorefining projects.

K. I. BANGERSKIS completed a two-year program of instruction in mechanical engineering. His technical work experience has included crystal growing, first at the MIT Crystal Physics Lab. and later at the Kennecott Copper Corp. Ledgemont Lab. At Ledgemont he became involved with new-generation electrowinning and electrorefining projects. He is currently engaged in copper products research.
