[RASMB] turbo-molecular pumps in Beckman XLA XLI

[David Hayes]

Hi all,

Just wanted to write a public thank-you note to Walter Stafford for pioneering hardware work to get Beckman to put in turbomolecular pumps in their analytical ultracentrifuges.  We recently had an install of a new XLA and found out that even the XLA's come with turbo pumps standard.  This made me wonder if Beckman ever wrote a thankyou letter to Walter for pioneering this hardware improvement, which thought led me to write a thank you letter to Walter for this and also for all the years managing and contributing to the RASMB list for biophysics scientists.
