171[E#18] (Sub-function 6A) P. W. Bamford’s “hero” is the timber merchant andnaval armaments manufacturer Pierre Babaud de la Chaussade (c. 1710-1792),but a good third of his book is devoted to the buildup of the family fortunes andactivities by his elder brother Jean Babaud (d. 1738) and brother-in-law JacquesMasson (1693-1741).)(Sub-function 7A) Each had inherited considerable wealth and experience ...incentral and eastern France at the turn of the century. In the 1720s the pair washeavily involved in large and dubious financial and timber operations...Masson...was jailed briefly in 1729 for alleged fraud....His predecessors had diversified into iron in the 1720s and 1730s, buying upforges in the Nivernais. In 1736 Babaud de la Chaussade...decided to privatize abig forge at Cosne......Babaud the entrepreneur, Babaud the manager, Babaud the forgemaster,Babaud the timber contractor (he re-entered the trade in 1775), Babaud thedistributor of subcontracts, or Babaud the seigneur and landlord. ...Even the final“nationalization” of Babaud’s forges by Necker in 1781 can be seen as a covertdevice for floating government war debt: much of it was paid in long-term notes,few of which were honored.Although the evolution of facts seems less surprising in an economics book, oneBR in chemistry also employed this device to indicate the different parts in the book. Inthis case the whole configuration of the book as a chronological narrative suited thetopic of the book, a bibliography:[C#16] (Sub-function 6A) The accounts of Schrödinger's youth in Vienna, of hisstudent days, and of his early years as a professor of theoretical physics, first inJena, then in Stuttgart and Breslau, occupy the initial third of the biography.(Sub-function 7A) The development of the ideas that led to Schrödinger takinghis place in the history of physics and related disciplines begins in 1924 withLouis de Broglie's prediction of the existence of particle-waves. ...The suprememoment in Schrödinger’s life was essentially the few days of the Christmasholiday of 1925. Compared with this the meetings of the Nobel committee toevaluate Schrödinger’s work, extending up to 1933, seem very long....Schrödinger’s later positions, such as those in Berlin (1927-1933), Graz (1936-1938) and Dublin (1939-1956), to mention only a few, appear to the readerinterested in wave mechanics as no more than an epilogue.
