| General Information: |
| Research physicist and cellist who did the first thorough study of vibration modes (1959) in which not |
| only nodal lines, but also contours of amplitude were plotted giving amplitude and phase. He also |
| measured the mechanical impedance at several points. The work was done on a cello (see photo). |
| Eggers worked at the Bell Telephone Laboratory, Murray Hill from 1960-64 and became much |
| interested in the research that Schelleng and Hutchins were doing, and often came to 112 Essex to |
| discuss acoustics and play quartets with us. Since 1964 Eggers has been at the Max-Planck-Institute in |
| Gottingen working in biophysical chemistry. A recent paper (1991) on mechanical impedance |
| measurements of the cello as well as the 1959 one are included here. |
