Graphics caption for photograph seven. Ray Kammer, Tawfik Raby, Bob Carter, Ernie Ambler, Mike Rowe, (current N C N R director), and Jack Rush, (current science group leader), in the control room as the source goes to 20 MW in 1984.

Graphics caption for photograph eight. Construction of the Guide Hall of the Cold Neutron Facility begins in 1988.

Graphics caption for photograph nine. George Baltic and Mike Rinehart in the Guide Hall inserting a cold neutron guide tube, ca. 1990.

Graphics caption for photograph ten. John Barker makes adjustments as Susan Krueger and Min Lin get set to record results at the N G - 7 30 m S A N S, 1991.

Graphics caption for photograph eleven. The Guide Hall begins to fill up, 1994: N G - 7 30 m S A N S at left, N G - 6 Fermi-chopper time-of-flight spectrometer, center, 8 m S A N S (orange) behind it, and N G - 3 30 m S A N S at right. Also visible is the chamber housing the neutron interferometer at far left, back. See front cover for an early and recent view.
