Cady, Walter G. (Walter Guyton), 1874-1974
Walter Guyton Cady papers, 1903-1974.
The collection consists chiefly of Cady's research notebooks on various subjects in physics and a considerable technical reprint file; some records of Cady's consultant work and patents granted. Also includes records of Institute of Radio Engineers/Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. Research topics: electrical discharges in gases, piezoelectricity, ultrasonics, piezoelectric resonators and oscillators, and crystal devices.
Physicist (electrical discharges in gases, pieozoelectricity, ultrasonics, peizoelectric resonators and oscillators, and crystal devices). Graduated from Brown University (B.Ph., 1895; A.M., 1896) and the University of Berlin (Ph.D. Physics, 1900). Served 1902-1946 as a professor of physics at Wesleyan University. After his retirement he continued to be active in consulting work for industry and the federal government. Cady's principal interests included the study of electrical discharges in gases, pieozoelectricity, ultrasonics, peizoelectric resonators and oscillators, and crystal devices.
