Description

Taylor began his career as a radiation physicist at the National Bureau of Standards (now the National Institute of Standards and Technology) to help organize an x-ray research program. While at the NBS, Taylor developed the first guarded-field free-air ionization chamber, which he used to compare international x-ray standards and which became standard for the Bureau's operations.

Taylor's capacitance compensator is located in the Warren Anatomical Museum.
