Oppenheimer and Atomic Paranoia

[OPPENHEIMER, J. Robert]. UNITED STATES ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION. United States Atomic Energy Commission: In the Matter of J. Robert Oppenheimer: Transcript of hearing before personnel security board. Washington, D.C.: United States Government Printing Office. 1954.

8vo. Contemporary red cloth, lettered in gilt to spine; pp. [2], 993, [1 (blank)]; spine sunned, pushing to spine ends, a little toning to edges of textblock; previous owner’s name (‘Ronald N. Lev?’) in blue biro to front free endpaper; very good.

First edition of the transcript of the hearing of J. Robert Oppenheimer, held at the height of McCarthyism and resulting in the removal of his security clearance over his alleged Communist sympathies.

Since the 1940s, Oppenheimer, often called ‘the father of the atomic bomb’, had been under surveillance: the FBI bugged his phone, and government informers inside the Communist Party suggested that he had ties to the organisation. In 1949, the House Un-American Activities Committee ruled that he had associations with the Party, revoking his security clearance as a result. Despite his political leanings, and his grave doubts about the H-Bomb, there was no evidence he was a spy, and the allegations arose only from the paranoid (and self-protective) testimony of his colleagues such as Edward Teller.

In 2022, the revocation of his security clearance was posthumously reversed, and in 2023 Christopher Nolan released the film Oppenheimer based upon the events detailed in the transcript.

Pretty good, take your time and install it well
Size: side table leg
Materials are pretty solid, but once assembled it’s not as sturdy as you would think it should be since the material itself was solid, i say give them a chance, everything out there that’s similar is way over priced

Robust pipe & fittings with a beautiful, smooth black finish
Size: side table leg
This set of pipe & fittings for use as low table legs is heavy duty and aesthetically pleasing. Especially when the pieces are handled, the tactile sensation is much nicer than with plumbing steel pipe because this product is beautifully finished smooth. The black pipes are quite smooth as well as the fittings. The pieces are all also pretty robust, though the wall thicknesses are less than in pipe for pressurized water systems. Of course that makes sense as this product does not need to hold fluid pressure. In my view they got the heaviness factor of this product just right; it's not as heavy or robust as black pipe used in natural gas supplies, but still robust and pretty heavy. Assembled, this product is absolutely stiff and unyielding for a solid table that could hold a man's weight easily. The feet utilize a brilliant scheme so that each foot can be independently adjusted for an uneven floor. Thus a level table on an uneven floor is easily accomplished. The feet simply extend the effective leg length by screwing counter-clockwise. To prevent any shifting at the threads adding some pipe compound or teflon tape may be advised. Even masking or duct tape might work as the idea is to just fill any gaps where male threads meet female threads. The four flanges at the tops of the legs provide a wide, solid surface for attaching the table top, with either hidden screws underneath or you could through-bolt a glass table top (provided you have the skill to drill glass!). I think this product would look great with a glass top. Assembly is quick and easy. The hardest part is drilling holes underneath the table top to accept screws. No pipe wrenches are needed as the pieces screw together by hand to an adequate tightness. If any doubt whether they are tightened enough have a strong person with grippy gloves finish. The "X" in the center attaches to the legs with a very clever machine screw system tightened with the included hex wrench. This is presumably because if tightened simply by screwing the fittings, the point of snugness would not likely be where the "T" fittings are exactly vertical. The maker has solved this problem so that you are assured that all legs will be in the perfect vertical position once everything is tight. The setup is also nice and rigid once tightened. This is a huge benefit of steel pipe projects; they are really solid. The black finish is clearly very durable, like a powder coat. It appears that it will provide excellent protection against rust. Coverage is complete; I found no dings or scratches anywhere on any piece. Overall this is a very well-designed product for function and aesthetics. Perfect for a beautifully renovated warehouse condo where an industrial vibe is desired in a rock-solid table that won't shift around. The smoothness of the pipe is top notch. I've used lots of pipe in projects, some of it actual water pipe and some decorative pipe such as this. I've never seen better quality decorative pipe as this maker put in the effort to finish it beautifully smooth. At currently $34.99 I find the price quite reasonable too.

Good DIY Pipe Legs but Powder Coat Quality Lacks
Size: side table leg, Size: side table leg
These industrial style pipe legs make building a DIY end table easy and the kit saves a trip to the hardware store. The fittings go together normally and assembly is simple. Comes individually wrapped. My main issue is the powder coating looks and feels cheap and rubs off easily. The pipes already had marks from touching each other from unboxing. If you do not mind some wear on the finish over time this is a decent purchase. The metal at the hardware store will be thicker and more durable but will cost more. I’d recommend based on ease of having a kit and it being delivered saving me a trip.
