...experiments here began several years ago with calculations by Leo Goldberg, Bemis Fellow of the Observatory, of the theoretical "strengths" of related lines in the spectra of various elements. Following this, Menzel extended the quantitative theory of absorption line formation...

There was a panel of wild designs...

These preposterous drawings were first inspired by memories of complicated scientific apparatus which Rube Goldberg, in his days as an engineering student at the University of California, was unable to take seriously. To demonstrate his mad machines, Goldberg invented Professor Lucifer Gorgonzola Butts. Examples...
