Miscellaneous loose monochrome (black-and-white) photos up to 1964

Hand-written logs of photos were kept by the photographers but there are a number of issues: they did not always know exactly what they were photographing so some comments are very vague ("NIRNS progress" is a favourite); it is not always easy to read the handwriting; from 1965 rubber-stamped index numbers are of deteriorating clarity towards the end of each stamp's lifetime; some photo series numbers are duplicated; and some photos have been taken for more private use (typically retirement presentations) so are not documented at all which makes dating them inaccurate.

Construction at AERE (not AWRE, the metadata is incorrect) Harwell of B412 to house the Proton Linear Accelerator (PLA)

Arrival of the Pickfords transport with Injector Vessel for Nimrod showing unloading and sequence of events (9 December 1959)

A series of photos by JW Thomas, Headington.

A series of photos by Fox Photos Ltd, Faringdon Road, London. (Pictures probably posed by model because he doesn't dare touch anything!)

Beam characterisation signals. (Dates are those marked on trace.)
