34. In 1956 McCrone founded McCrone Associates, a private analytical laboratory in which the principal analytical technique employed was polarized light spectroscopy. Over the years he and his staff learned to visually identify over 30,000 particles [27]. McCrone Associates specialized in the identification of asbestos samples, airborne impurities, and the identification and classification polymorphism, among others. McCrone recently partially endowed a chair of chemical microscopy to Cornell University.

46. Although we carried out a rather thorough literature search prior to beginning our crystallization experiments, we did not locate reference 41. It did not come up in a citation search, since it did not cite the original Nielsen/Borka paper. Another reason is that other searches were based on "benzocaine" while reference 41 refers to the molecule as ethyl aminobenzoate. One of us (J.B.) came across reference 41 in his own reprint collection subsequent to our determination of the structure of the 2:1 complex. This incident simply demonstrates the reproducibility of these phenomena, and the necessity for keen observation to characterize a system.
