		CHARLES GREELEY ABBOT was the second director of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and the fifth Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution.
		Langley, however, was not a traditional astronomer and Abbot was just the type of assistant he wanted to aid his mapping of the infrared spectrum of the Sun, adapting bolometers for photographic recording and determining dispersion standards for rock-salt and fluorite prisms to measure fundamental wavelengths in the infrared region of the solar spectrum.
