T. M. Barnes Thomas M. Barnes is chief of the primary operations division at Battelle Memorial Institute’s Columbus Laboratories. He joined the Battelle staff in 1960. After two years he left to become a research supervisor for Interlake Iron, rejoining the Battelle staff in 1967. He was made associate division chief in 1970, and chief in 1971. In recent years, he has performed and supervised projects in raw materials selection and utilization, and computer simulation and analysis of primary processes, among others. Barnes is the 1972 recipient of the J. E. Johnson, Jr. Award of The Metallurgical Society of AIME. (See page 58.)
Harold W. Lownie, Jr. is senior research advisor, process and physical metallurgy section, Department of Physics and Metallurgy at Battelle Memorial Institute’s Columbus Labs. He joined the Battelle staff in 1945 after serving for six years as a materials engineer and laboratory supervisor for Westinghouse Electric Corp. His field of specialization is ferrous process metallurgy, with emphasis on the reduction of iron ore, steelmaking, and foundry practice.
