The Presidential Certificate of Merit, 1951, and Certificates of Merit from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University for work with the Office of Scientific Research and Development, National Defense Research Committee, were conferred on Dr. Salisbury. Organizational memberships include: Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, Fellow of the American Physical Society, Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Fellow of the American Astronautical Society, Member of the American Astronomical Society, Member of the Optical Society of America, Member of the Optical Society of Texas, Member of the New York Academy of Science, Member of Sigma Xi, and Cosmos Club of Washington. Member Explorers Club New York, N.Y. Dr. Salisbury has served as consultant to many commercial organizations including General Motors, Ford Motor Company, Westinghouse, Lockheed, Raytheon, Arthur D. Little plus non-profit organizations such as M.I.T., University of California Radiation Laboratory, Carnegie Institution and the Rand Corp. "think-tank". A few of Dr. Salisbury's contributions to basic science are early design and construction and development of cyclotrons; research and working designs for high power vacuum tubes, including those vacuum tubes developed between 1941 and 1945 to jam enemy (German) radar; development of the still in operation Naval Research Laboratory fifty-foot radar telescope; thermal observation of the Moon surface using microwaves which led to the first significant theory, by Dr. Salisbury, of dust on the lunar surface, as later verified by the Apollo Project; contributor to the construction and operation of the M.T.A. accelerator at the Livermore Branch of Lawrence Radiation Laboratory where he worked with Dr. Lawrence from 1952- 1955; and the basic new design concept of the high power vacuum tubes for the linear accelerator at the University of Minnesota. Other contributions included his membership in, and contributions to Project Troy and Project Lamp Light at M.l.T. and Project East River for Associated Universities. Dr. Salisbury has recently completed a series of research projects on the generation of visual light from the oscillation of free electrons and the effect of simulated lightning on meteoric dust. He is currently involved in basic research in methods of nuclear fusion, the transmission and reception of communication gravity waves, advance general relativity theory, advanced and new commercial applications of extremely high powered Laser particularly relating to the fields of drilling and perforating deep wells and in the permanent safe disposal of nuclear waste. Dr. Salisbury is listed in numerous "Who's Who" publications such as "Who's Who in the World", "Who's Who in America", "American. Men of Science" and "Who's Who in Space".

Photo Credit: Photo taken in October, 1969 at Dr. Salisbury's Smithsonian Astrophysical Lab., Cambridge,Mass. Dr. Salisbury had publicly predicted in December, 1949, at the time he was made a fellow of the IRE (now IEEE) in Cedar Rapids, Iowa that, "I expect to have a piece of Moon rock on my desk for examination within 20 years". The object he is studying in the photo is that piece of Moon rock. |

expansion on companies where Winfield Salisbury worked.
Hollywood Film Enterprises- Bill Horsley Laboratory[edit]In 1916 William Horsley withdrew from the Universal company and set up the Bill Horsley Laboratory, later known as Hollywood Film Enterprises, Inc., devoted exclusively to the developing and printing of 35 mm. films. From the 1930s to the 1960s, Hollywood Film Enterprises diversified its activities into the 16mm and 8mm "home movie" area. During those years, they were the exclusive distributor of Walt Disney's cartoons in 8mm and 16mm for home movie and "toy" projectors. HFE also at various times offered Walter Lantz and Hugh Harman-Rudolf Ising cartoons as well; along with home movie reels of Laurel and Hardy, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, various Hal Roach and Al Christie comedies, and a Tarzan series edited from a silent era serial. They left the home movie business in the 1960s when Disney withdrew their license and started their own home movie division. The company was later known as Hollywood Film and Video, Inc. William was David's silent partner in "David Horsley Productions" (1916 to 1919) 17 films between) 1916 to 1919 listed in the Internet Movie Data base (IMDB) and possibly the 55 films (1916 to 1919) released using "The Centaur Film Company" Name. "Centaur Film Company", as a film studio appears to have existed in Bayonne, New Jersey, until the opening of Nestor Studios Hollywood in 1912. The name used again (1916 to 1919, by David Horsley after he sold his shares in Universal Pictures.
