| General Information: |
| A Professor of physics and Head of the Department at the University of New Hampshire retiring in |
| 1969, but continued his own research on underwater signals. Earlier he had been a development |
| engineer with Western Electric and taught at the American University in Beirut where he grew up. He |
| was one of F.A. Saunders graduate students at Harvard (Leo Beranek was the other one) in the early |
| 1930s and designed much of Saunders violin testing equipment such as the heterodyne analyzer and the |
| automatic bow, and published his work in JASA, J. Society of Motion Picture Engineers and Proc. |
| Inst.Radio Engineers. As a result of these references CMH found Hall in his retirement in Durham, |
| N.H. where he was still working on underwater signals, but also had time to help with violin research |
| and rework Saunders automatic bow into its original condition. He was a member of the CAS for many |
| years. |
