Bibliographic information
| Biographical note | Karl Stetson came to 112 Essex and introduced the idea of using holographic interferometry for studying violin plates to CMH in the late 60's. He had graduated from Lowell Technological Institute and then did an MS degree at the University of Michigan, where he got into holographic work. In 1967 he received a grant to work at the Royal Institute of Technology and subsequently obtained his doctorate in 1969. He then spent two years at the National Physics Lab in Teddington, England, followed by two years at the Ford Motor Co in Dearborn, MI, and ever since as a senior research engineer in optics and acoustics at United Aircraft in Connecticut. (See File 102 for a detailed biography.) Throughout these years he wrote articles for the CASNL (See File 103) and made numerous holographic studies of violin plates for CMH sending photos back to Montclair. (Examples may be found in File 104.) He made studies of guitars with Karl Hugo Agren as well. |
