- These were signed to Merton while Takamine was at the Physical Institute, College of Science, Tokyo. It looks as though Takamine spent three years in the U.S., arriving in Pasadena and then spending two years with R.W. Wood at Johns Hopkins before leaving for London in 1921.) It also seems he was back in the US in the 1920's and 1930's, and then prevented from working with E.O. Lawrence in California in 1940. He received the Imperial Prize in 1923.
