However, projected military requirements a hundred years hence had little to do with the Army’s sponsorship of the Sagamore conference on charge and spin density (Aug. 17–21, 1964), which resulted rather from an active interest of the research group of the US Army Materials Research Agency at Watertown, Mass., in the measurement and calculation of charge and spin density.
