Title: The magnet yoke for the 184-inch cyclotron
Description: The magnet yoke for the 184-inch cyclotron during construction. The 184-inch magnet rated as a mechanism of warfare. The magnet was adapted for use in a huge mass spectrograph to test the feasibility of Lawrence's plan to separate the fissile, or explosive, part of natural uranium, U- 235, from its muchB more plentiful companion isotope, U-238. (The preceding information was excerpted from the text of the Fall 1981 issue of LBL Newsmagazine.)
