180:, who was looking for an assistant at the Royal College of Science (Imperial College). The first research problem he tackled involved analytical determination of helium in air. This involved quantitatively separating helium and neon, present in air at four times the level. This was finally solved by a twelve-stage adsorption—desorption cascade.

he recorded that "Early in 1935 I sent my wife a telegram: 'Can you learn
