Chemist Glen Joseph at Sunkist was attempting to measure the hydrogen-ion concentration in lemon juice electrochemically, but sulfur dioxide damaged hydrogen electrodes, and non-reactive glass electrodes produced weak signals and were fragile. Joseph approached Beckman, who proposed that instead of trying to increase the sensitivity of his measurements, he amplify his results. Beckman, familiar with glassblowing, electricity, and chemistry, suggested a design for a vacuum-tube amplifier and ended up building a working apparatus for Joseph. The glass electrode used to measure pH was placed in a grid circuit in the vacuum tube, producing an amplified signal which could then be read by an electronic meter. The prototype was so useful that Joseph requested a second unit.<a href="#cite_note-hundred-3">[3]</a>: 124–129  Beckman saw an opportunity, and rethinking the project, decided to create a complete chemical instrument which could be easily transported and used by nonspecialists.

There was also growing interest in examining ultraviolet spectra beyond that range. Just as Beckman had created a single easy-to-use instrument for measuring pH, he made it a goal to create an easy-to-use instrument for spectrophotometry. Beckman's research team, led by <a href="/wiki/Howard_Cary" title="Howard Cary">Howard Cary</a>, developed several models.<a href="#cite_note-hundred-3">[3]</a>: 148–149  The new spectrophotometers used a prism to separate light into its absorption spectrum and a phototube to electrically measure the light energy across the spectrum.

There was a critical shortage of <a href="/wiki/Rubber" class="mw-redirect" title="Rubber">rubber</a>, which was used in jeep and airplane tires and in tanks. Natural sources from the Far East were unavailable because of the war, and scientists sought a reliable synthetic substitute.

The Office of Rubber Reserve met secretly in Detroit with <a href="/wiki/Robert_Brattain" title="Robert Brattain">Robert Brattain</a> of the Shell Development Company, Arnold O. Beckman, and R.

Beckman was asked to secretly produce a hundred infrared spectrophotometers to be used by authorized government scientists, based on a design for a single-beam spectrophotometer which had already been developed by Robert Brattain for Shell.<a href="#cite_note-hundred-3">[3]</a>: 163  The result was the Beckman IR-1 spectrophotometer. By September 1942, the first of the instruments was being shipped. Approximately 75 IR-1s were made between 1942 and 1945 for use by the US synthetic-rubber effort. The researchers were not allowed to publish or discuss anything related to the new machines until after the war.<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> Other researchers who were independently pursuing the development of infrared spectrometry, were able to publish and to develop instruments during this time without being affected by secrecy restrictions. Beckman had continued to develop the infrared spectrophotometer after the release of the IR-1. Facing stiff competition, he decided in 1953 to go forward with a radical redesign of the instrument. The result was the IR-4, which could be operated using either a single or double beam of infrared light.<a href="#cite_note-hundred-3">[3]</a>: 165  This allowed a user to take both the reference measurement and the sample measurement at the same time.<a href="#cite_note-hundred-3">[3]</a>: 163  <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Other_secret_projects">Other secret projects</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Arnold_Beckman&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Other secret projects">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Helipot">Helipot</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Arnold_Beckman&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Helipot">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Beckman_Helipot_potentiometer_SA1400A_2007.075.002.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/38/Beckman_Helipot_potentiometer_SA1400A_2007.075.002.jpg/220px-Beckman_Helipot_potentiometer_SA1400A_2007.075.002.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="133" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/38/Beckman_Helipot_potentiometer_SA1400A_2007.075.002.jpg/330px-Beckman_Helipot_potentiometer_SA1400A_2007.075.002.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/38/Beckman_Helipot_potentiometer_SA1400A_2007.075.002.jpg/440px-Beckman_Helipot_potentiometer_SA1400A_2007.075.002.jpg 2x" data-file-width="750" data-file-height="453" /></a><figcaption>Beckman Helipot potentiometer SA1400A</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Helipot_division_unidentif_st74cq71x-1.tiff" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c8/Helipot_division_unidentif_st74cq71x-1.tiff/lossy-page1-220px-Helipot_division_unidentif_st74cq71x-1.tiff.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="179" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c8/Helipot_division_unidentif_st74cq71x-1.tiff/lossy-page1-330px-Helipot_division_unidentif_st74cq71x-1.tiff.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c8/Helipot_division_unidentif_st74cq71x-1.tiff/lossy-page1-440px-Helipot_division_unidentif_st74cq71x-1.tiff.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3178" data-file-height="2583" /></a><figcaption>Helipot microcircuitry, 1966</figcaption></figure> At the same time that Beckman was approached about infrared spectrometry, he was contacted by Paul Rosenberg. Rosenberg worked at MIT's <a href="/wiki/Radiation_Laboratory" class="mw-redirect" title="Radiation Laboratory">Radiation Laboratory</a>. The lab was part of a secret network of research institutions in both the United States and Britain that were working to develop <a href="/wiki/Radar" title="Radar">radar</a>, "radio detecting and ranging". The project was interested in Beckman because of the high quality of the tuning knobs or "potentiometers" which were used on his pH meters. Beckman had trademarked the design of the pH meter knobs, under the name "helipot" for "helical potentiometer". Rosenberg had found that the helipot was more precise, by a factor of ten, than other knobs. Nonetheless, for use in continuously moving airplanes, ships, or submarines, which might be under attack, a redesign would be needed to ensure that the knobs could withstand shocks and vibrations. Beckman was not allowed to tell his staff the reason behind the redesign, and they were not particularly interested in the problem; he eventually came up with a solution himself. Instead of using a wire wrapped around a coil, with pressure from a small spring to create a single contact point, he redesigned the knob to have a continuous groove, in which the contact point was contained. The contact point could then move smoothly and continuously, and could not be jarred out of contact. Beckman's model A Helipot was in tremendous demand by the military. Within the first year of its production, its sales became 40% of the company's income. Beckman spun off a separate company, the Helipot Corporation, to take on the electronics component manufactory.<a href="#cite_note-hundred-3">[3]</a>: 167–175  <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Pauling_oxygen_meter">Pauling oxygen meter</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Arnold_Beckman&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Pauling oxygen meter">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Beckman_D2_Oxygen_analyzer_and_patient_2012_002_5132_cn69m4659.tiff" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/01/Beckman_D2_Oxygen_analyzer_and_patient_2012_002_5132_cn69m4659.tiff/lossless-page1-220px-Beckman_D2_Oxygen_analyzer_and_patient_2012_002_5132_cn69m4659.tiff.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="171" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/01/Beckman_D2_Oxygen_analyzer_and_patient_2012_002_5132_cn69m4659.tiff/lossless-page1-330px-Beckman_D2_Oxygen_analyzer_and_patient_2012_002_5132_cn69m4659.tiff.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/01/Beckman_D2_Oxygen_analyzer_and_patient_2012_002_5132_cn69m4659.tiff/lossless-page1-440px-Beckman_D2_Oxygen_analyzer_and_patient_2012_002_5132_cn69m4659.tiff.png 2x" data-file-width="792" data-file-height="615" /></a><figcaption>Beckman D2 Oxygen analyzer in use with patient, ca. 1950s</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Beckman_Model_D_Oxygen_Meter_with_infant_incubator_73666474j.tiff" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/af/Beckman_Model_D_Oxygen_Meter_with_infant_incubator_73666474j.tiff/lossless-page1-220px-Beckman_Model_D_Oxygen_Meter_with_infant_incubator_73666474j.tiff.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="176" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/af/Beckman_Model_D_Oxygen_Meter_with_infant_incubator_73666474j.tiff/lossless-page1-330px-Beckman_Model_D_Oxygen_Meter_with_infant_incubator_73666474j.tiff.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/af/Beckman_Model_D_Oxygen_Meter_with_infant_incubator_73666474j.tiff/lossless-page1-440px-Beckman_Model_D_Oxygen_Meter_with_infant_incubator_73666474j.tiff.png 2x" data-file-width="2951" data-file-height="2360" /></a><figcaption>Beckman model D oxygen meter, based on Pauling's design, in use with infant incubator</figcaption></figure> Linus Pauling at Caltech was also doing secret work for the military.

Pauling designed the Pauling oxygen meter for them. Originally approached to supply housing boxes for the meter by Holmes Sturdivant, Pauling's assistant, Beckman was soon asked to produce the entire instrument. While the board of National Technical Laboratories was unwilling to support the secret project, whose details they could not be told, they agreed that Beckman was free to follow up on it independently. Beckman set up a second spinoff company, Arnold O. Beckman, Inc., for their manufacture.<a href="#cite_note-hundred-3">[3]</a>: 180–185  Creating the oxygen meter was a technical challenge, involving the creation of tiny, highly precise glass dumbbells.

First characterized as "gas attacks" in 1943, suspicion fell on a variety of possible causes including the <a href="/wiki/Smudge_pot" title="Smudge pot">smudge pots</a> used by orange growers, the smoke produced by local industrial plants, and car exhausts. The Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce was one of the organizations concerned about the possible causes and effects of smog, as it related both to industry (and jobs) and to quality of life in the area. Beckman was involved with the Chamber of Commerce. In 1947, California governor <a href="/wiki/Earl_Warren" title="Earl Warren">Earl Warren</a> signed a statewide air pollution control act, authorizing the creation of Air Pollution Control Districts (APCDs) in every county of the state.<a href="#cite_note-overview-18">[18]</a> The Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce asked Beckman to represent them in dealing with creation of a local APCD. The new APCD, when formed, asked Beckman to become the scientific consultant to the Air Pollution Control Officer. He held the position from 1948 to 1952. The Air Pollution Control Officer in question was Louis McCabe, a geologist with a background in chemical engineering. McCabe initially suspected that smog was a result of sulfur dioxide pollution, and proposed that the county convert the suspected pollutant into fertilizer through a costly process. Beckman was not convinced that sulfur dioxide was the real culprit behind Los Angeles smog. He visited Gary, Indiana, where steps were being taken to address sulfur dioxide pollution, and was struck by the characteristic smell of sulfur in the air. Returning, Beckman convinced McCabe that they needed to search for a different cause. <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Beckman_patent_1071952_Sheet_1_crop.tif" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/64/Beckman_patent_1071952_Sheet_1_crop.tif/lossy-page1-170px-Beckman_patent_1071952_Sheet_1_crop.tif.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="259" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/64/Beckman_patent_1071952_Sheet_1_crop.tif/lossy-page1-255px-Beckman_patent_1071952_Sheet_1_crop.tif.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/64/Beckman_patent_1071952_Sheet_1_crop.tif/lossy-page1-340px-Beckman_patent_1071952_Sheet_1_crop.tif.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2060" data-file-height="3143" /></a><figcaption>Patent 1071952, "Apparatus for recording gas concentrations in the atmosphere"</figcaption></figure> Beckman got in touch with a Caltech professor who was working on smog, <a href="/wiki/Arie_Jan_Haagen-Smit" title="Arie Jan Haagen-Smit">Arie Jan Haagen-Smit</a>.<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a> They developed an apparatus to collect particulate matter from Los Angeles air, using a system of tubing intermittently cooled by liquid nitrogen.

Shockley, however, lacked experience in business and industrial management. Moreover, he decided that the lab would research an invention of his own, the four-layer diode, rather than developing the diffused silicon transistor that he and Beckman had agreed upon. Beckman was reassured by his engineers that the scientific ideas behind Shockley's project were still sound. When appealed to by members of Shockley's lab, Beckman chose not to interfere with its management.<a href="#cite_note-IEEE20131129-21">[21]</a> In 1957, eight leading scientists including <a href="/wiki/Gordon_Moore" title="Gordon Moore">Gordon Moore</a> and <a href="/wiki/Robert_Noyce" title="Robert Noyce">Robert Noyce</a> left Shockley's group to form a competing startup, <a href="/wiki/Fairchild_Semiconductor" title="Fairchild Semiconductor">Fairchild Semiconductor</a>, which would successfully develop silicon transistors.
