Harold Heywood papers and correspondence, 1925-1973.
The papers include notebooks covering Heywood's undergraduate career at Imperial College, London, and notebooks, notes and reports on his work on dusts and sedimentation, sieving, particle size and pulverisation. This includes records of work undertaken during the Second World and after for the Ministry of Supply as a result of the problems caused by dust during military operations in desert warfare. There are extensive notes and observations on solar energy, begun at Imperial College but mainly carried on at Woolwich and Loughborough. There are also travel diaries, correspondence and other material relating to conferences and consultancies on the subject (Heywood acted as adviser to the governments of Egypt and Malta).
