title: The wartime work of Hinshelwood and his colleagues.
abstract: C.N. Hinshelwood and his physical and inorganic chemical colleagues in Oxford worked throughout World War II on the improvement of charcoal for use in respirators and on other physicochemical problems. The surviving reports and correspondence give a detailed picture of what they accomplished and on the way in which extramural research contracts were then handled.
