Can you suggest contacts and sources for my beginning doctoral-thesis
research, working title, "The Management of Technology Transfer: The
Anglo-American Council on Productivity, 1948-1952?

In preparation for a research visit to the U. K. looking for names of
British companies and unions that participated on work teams exchanging
visits with U. S. counterparts.

Also looking for archival sources for reports resulting from this activity.
A brief visit to the PRO at Kew revealed only limited company/union
information. Warwick University is alleged to have some of these
reports. Hopefully British private industry and union offices still have
records of this activity.

Your suggestions for individuals to contact, secondary sources to review,
and public or private archives to visit would be appreciated.
