	Bragg, Sir William
		William Bragg came on his father's side from a family without academic traditions, mainly yeoman farmers and merchant seamen.
		It was this early training that enabled him, later (in 1912), after his return to England, to design the Bragg ionization spectrometer, the prototype of all modern X-ray and neutron diffractometers, with which he made the first exact measurements of X-ray wavelengths and crystal data.
		Bragg and his elder son, Lawrence, who was studying physics at Cambridge, then began to apply X rays to the study of crystal structure.

		Bragg's law makes it possible to calculate the positions of the atoms within a crystal from the way in which an X-ray beam is diffracted by the crystal lattice.
		Bragg was gratified to see that the X-ray method that he developed forty years before was at the heart of this profound insight into the nature of life itself.
		Bragg received both the Copley Medal and the Royal Medal of the Royal Society, and in 1967 was made a Companion of Honour by the Queen.

	William Henry Bragg and William Lawrence Bragg
		William Henry's mother died when he was just seven years old, and he was sent to live with a bachelor uncle, whose place he regarded as home during his years away at school and at Cambridge University.
		William Henry's original interest was in what diffraction showed about the nature of X-rays, and he was a skilled experimenter and designer of instruments.
		William Lawrence was more concerned with what X-rays revealed about the crystalline state, and he possessed a powerful ability to conceptualize physical problems and express them mathematically.

	Australian Nobel Laureates - William Bragg and Son
		William Henry Bragg, the eldest of three boys, was born on 2 July 1862 in Cumberland, England.
		William Bragg was made a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1907, and in January 1909 Bragg reluctantly packed up his family and left his beloved Adelaide for a position at the University of Leeds.
		William Bragg and his son, Lawrence, were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1915, 'for their services in the analysis of crystal structure by means of X-rays'.

	William Bragg - Biography
		William Henry Bragg was born at Westward, Cumberland, on July 2, 1862.
		However, the work of Bragg and his son Lawrence in 1913-1914 founded a new branch of science of the greatest importance and significance, the analysis of crystal structure by means of X-rays.
		This was recognized by the award of the Nobel Prize jointly to father and son in 1915.
