Life

Franklin Hunt worked at the National Bureau of Standards in Washington from 1917 . From 1929 to 1948 he was employed by Bell Telephone Laboratories in New York .

Hunt initially worked in the field of X-ray spectroscopy , then dealt with aviation, especially flight technology , such as the breathing device on board airplanes, and electroacoustics .

Services

Franklin Hunt became known through the proof, jointly with William Duane , of the short-wave limit of (continuous) X-ray brake radiation. This is also known as Duane-Hunt's Law .

Trivia

In 1976 he received a monetary donation from the National Academy of Sciences for his Franklin Livingstone Hunt Fund , which should support research in physics, chemistry and preventive medicine, and also award a Franklin Livingstone Hunt Medal for special achievements. It cannot be determined whether this fund was really scientifically active.
