Abstract
I was introduced to shock wave research in late 1953 by Dr. Thomas C. Poulter, Associate Director of Stanford Research Institute and head of a group which later became the Poulter Laboratories of SRI. For many years there was mounted on a wall in Poulter Laboratories a larger-than-life poster showing me standing in a firing pit at the Calaveras Test Site with shovel in hand while Poulter and Dr. Dan MacLachlan looked on. This picture, taken in late 1953 or early 1954, was symbolic of the state of shock wave research before World War II. It was changing in 1953, but it had not changed very much.
