Abstract
My first fleeting contact with cosmic ray research in Manchester was made early in 1939 when, together with a few other undergraduate physics students, I was taken on a tour of the research laboratories by J.M. Nuttall, a senior member of the teaching staff who in an earlier epoch had worked on radioactivity as a colleague of Rutherford and together with Geiger had been joint discoverer of the well known relationship between the range of an α-particle and the half life of its parent nucleus.
