Abstract
Chester McKinney and his students and colleagues began publishing on acoustics research in the early 1950s, in The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, The Journal of Underwater Acoustics, and in numerous proceedings of symposia dealing with high resolution sonar for mine hunting. Much of his work involved official studies on major issues, done for and published by the U.S. Navy. A number of his lectures to lay audiences addressed timely topics pertaining to contemporary topics, such as the conduct of classified research on university campuses. He was noted for excellent tutorials and fascinating historical perspectives. Some of Chester's publications are briefly discussed here, including his Journal publications on transduction with reflectors, the transition between near and far-field radiation, the target strength of geometric objects and the discovery of creeping or circumferential waves in echoes.
