My sincere thanks go also to Agnes Rodhe and Artur Svansson for allowing me to interview them and for providing interesting photographic material for my work. I owe warm acknowledgments to the archivists Stefan Sienell from the archives of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, Brigitte Kromp from the Central Library of Physics in Vienna, and Anders Larsson from the archives of the University of Göteborg for their help in identifying important sources.
