Essay on Sources A central body of records on the icing research that has been conducted at the NACA/NASA Lewis-Glenn laboratory does not exist. While seeking to identify material to support this study, historians and archivists at the Glenn Research Laboratory searched through stored record collections, as well as long-unopened file cabinets at the Icing Research Tunnel, in an effort to locate pertinent documents. They uncovered only a handful of letters, memoranda, and other primary sources, which are now located in the History Office at Glenn. Inspection of the holdings of the History Office at NASA Headquarters also revealed only a limited collection of documents bearing on icing research. Icing material in Record Group 255 at the National Archives and Records Administration proved neither easy to identify nor especially helpful. No doubt, addi- tional material is buried in the collection. The best documentary source on icing research is in file RA 247 at the Langley Historical Archive, Floyd L. Thompson Technical Library, Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia. This rich collection, however, covers only icing research prior to 1944. Secondary sources on icing research are few and far between. There is a fine essay by Glenn E. Bugos, “Lew Rodert, Epistemological Liaison, and Thermal De-Icing at Ames,” in Pamela E. Mack (ed.), From Engineering Science to Big Science: The NACA and NASA Collier Trophy Research Project Winners (NASA SP-4219, 1998), pp. 29–58. Bugos, how- ever, has little to say about events in Cleveland due to the focus of his study. There is also a chapter on icing research in George W. Gray, Frontiers of Flight: The Story of NACA Research (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1948), but, again, the spotlight is on Rodert. Michael H. Gorn kindly supplied me with a draft chapter on icing flight research from his now published study, Expanding the Envelope: Flight Research at the NACA and NASA, 1915–1988 (Lexington: University Press of Kentucky, 2001), which proved most helpful. Finally, Virginia P. Dawson’s excellent Engines and Innovation: Lewis Laboratory and American Propulsion Technology (NASA SP-4306, 1991), not only provided the con- text in which icing research took place at Lewis, but also briefly discussed the construction of the IRT and its subsequent use. 179PDF Image | History of NASA Icing Research Tunnel
