C G Windsor and C J Wright, Neutron Beams for Industry, New Scientist, 11th Dec 1980.

Harwell was changing in the seventies with basic research giving way to industrial contract research. Characteristically Windsor stood at the front of this change, and performed his first contract neutron scattering experiments for English China Clays in 1972. He realised that the neutron's penetration gave it unique properties for the investigation of actual components. During the eighties, he made industrial research his main priority and he and the team at Harwell built up a world leadership in this field, being invited to give talks to the IAEA[105], in the US[113] and in Japan[139]. Looking back over these years it is evident how many new research directions were stimulated by his industrial contacts. His many contracts with the Cement and Concrete Research Association lead Andrew Allen and others at Harwell to take up the scientific study of cement especially using small angle neutron scattering [45,81,111]. His work for CEGB Berkely on SANS from steels[94,97] is continued to this day by Roger Sinclair in work that has now become central to the safety cases of reactors.
