Lest anyone be confused, Thomas Young (1773-1829) is not the author 
of the inharmonicity paper which is being discussed here. That is 
Robert W. Young (1908- ), who was still living at least as recently 
as 1995. The latter was a twentieth century physicist who specialized 
in musical acoustics, and was the editor of that section of the JASA 
for many years. He worked for GC Conn early in his career and was 
co-inventor of the Conn stroboscope, along with Hugo Shuck, with whom 
he wrote an earlier article on inharmonicity than the 1952 article 
being discussed here. The invention of this device is probably the 
reason he was able to investigate inharmonicity quantitatively at the 
time he did.
