Graphics Caption - Report Cover
The two photos dramatize the development of the N I S T Center for Neutron Research over a 12-year period. The lower photo shows the Cold Neutron Guide Hall before installation of equipment. The upper picture, taken from approximately the same vantage point, is packed with 7 guide tubes serving 13 instrument stations. See pages 2-3 for a layout and brief description of the instruments. Pages 4-5 provide a selected pictorial history of the Center. (Top photo by L. A. Shuman.)
