Dear Bob:
I am glad to have your letter, and to know about the work that you are doing on rate control strands - that is, on the paper- that you are presenting.
I applied for a patent. I don't know just what the situation is about it. I do not know how to go about finding out - perhaps you could inquire of the Ordnance Department, the Allegheny Ballistics Laboratory, or some place like that.
I can give you a statement from the oper literature. I have a "Citation to Accompany the Award of the Medal for Merit to Linus Carl Pauling," signed by Harry Truman, The White House, February 2, 1948, in which there occurs the sentence "His proposal for the use of rate control strands made the castible double base powder program more effective and widened the field of application." In my proposal I discussed not only rate control strands but also other ways of mixing two powders, in order to make use of some of the good properties of each.
With best regards, I am
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling:W
