<B>Research Chemist Aristid V. Grosse Signature</B></I> on card, 5.5 x 2.5, mounted on sheet with a biographical sketch, February 16, 1949, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Russian-born Aristid V. Grosse (1905-1985), came to the U.S. in 1930, and was the first to isolate protactinium in 1934 while a physical chemist at the University of Chicago (1931-1940). After his work with uranium fission at Columbia University, Grosse worked on the Manhattan Project during WWII. From 1948-1969, he was head of the Research Institute (now Franklin Institute) at Temple University. Grosse has neatly penned a chemical equation above his signature, the significance of which is lost to this cataloger. A fine, bold signature. <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
