Alfred OC Nier[edit]

Alfred O. C. Nier played an important role in the development of mass spectrometry, but isn't mentioned in this article. I think we should add him somewhere in the Manhattan section. Ydon (talk) 19:08, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kaufmann, 1901[edit]

Is it accurate to call Kaufmann's apparatus a mass spectrometer? I could only find sources that claim that the 1912 parabola spectrograph experiment done by Thomson was the first instance of a mass spectrometer (parabola spectrograph being another name for it) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:630:301:5242:4070:3295:BA5C:FBD7 (talk) 21:00, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
