Pieces for Cyclotron Arrive at Laboratory

As the pieces of the Gargantuan magnet for the new cyclotron arrived in Cambridge yesterday, nuclear research at the University took a seven-league-booted stride.

Assembling the magnet, core of the atom smasher, will take nearly a month, but the University will not be the scene of nuclear disintegration until late next year, when University experts will finally begin work. Plans for the cyclotron have been afeet for almost two years and construction began 18 months ago.

With the arrival of the steal yoke and copper coil, component parts of the magnet, actual piecing together of cyclotron fragments already here will start. Members of the department of Physics "will engage in experimental Physics and will have cognizance of the plan."
