ORLAN W. BOSTON DYNAMOMETER PAPERS, 1927-1950
#811
(.33 cubic feet: 1 DB)
By: Don Darroch & Robert S. Harding, September 2002
Biography
Orlan W. Boston graduated from the University of Michigan Engineering College in 1913,
received a Masters degree in 1917, and the degree of Mechanical Engineer in 1926. In 1917 he
was commissioned in the U.S. Navy Bureau of Ordnance and later was employed by the
Cleveland Tractor Co. In 1921 he joined the University of Michigan faculty as Professor,
College of Engineering.
Scope & Content
This collection consists of technical papers, tables, charts, photographs and other information on
tests of the physical and chemical properties of metals as determined by various cutting and
other processes.
Provenance
Boston donated his papers (and
artifacts) to the Division of the History of Technology, Engineering and
Industry Collections, (formerly the Division of Civil and Mechanical
Engineering), National Museum of American History in 1961. They transferred the
papers to the Archives Center in 2002.
