sextant

Unless there was another Senta Osoling in Los Angeles in the 1940s, this young woman went on to co-author a scientific paper: Alfred Deutsch and Senta Osoling, "Conductimetric and Potentiometric Studies of the Stoichiometry and Equilibria of Boric Acid-Mannitol Complexes," Journal of the American Chemical Society 71(5)( May 1949): 1637-1940. Alfred Deutsch was in the Chemistry Department at UCLA when the paper was published. Osoling was given no affiliation.

Thanks! For now, we’re gathering the suggestions and corrections, but holding off on making changes until more comments come in.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Vintage Los Angeles, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Check my photo notes above for updated info on Senta. She's had quite a life!

Awesome, Robert, thanks! I love knowing what she's doing now.

Russell Hastings Millward, author and explorer. Sort of an Indiana Jones, apparently...

Another Bain/LOC portrait of Millward:

A couper le souffle !

Shame it's not a wee bit bigger (or, much bigger!). Be nice to poke around at what's on the sled :)

Hi George, Thanks for the comment. If you follow the Persistent url link, you'll land in our Manuscripts, Oral History and Pictures catalogue. There you'll find the record for the photo and you can click into the image and enlarge it to view the detail.

I would caption this one: "Hangin out with the laundry"....LOL
OOoooo George, ditto, "Say, what's under this bundle....???"

Curious about using glass negatives @ waaay below freezing temperatures. Guess you have to be sure & careful, eh?
