He also started teaching at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1910 to 1922. In World War I he did research on aeronautical instruments for the National Bureau of Standards.[1][4] Further career and acknowledgementAfter leaving the National Bureau of Standards in 1920, Hersey was appointed at the U.S. Bureau of Mines in Pittsburgh as chief of the physical laboratory from 1922 to 1926. From 1936 to 1951 Hersey was back at the National Bureau of Standards. In World War II he served as a consultant to the Manhattan Project at Columbia. From 1947 to 1957 he also worked as scholar for the Naval Engineering Experiment Station at Annapolis, and then retired from government service.[1][4] From 1934 to 1936 Hersey had lectured at Brown University, and from 1943 to 1945 he had been a scholar at Columbia University. From 1957 until his death in 1978 he had been visiting professor in engineering at Brown University.[1][4] In 1965 the ASME initiated the annual Mayo D. Hersey award for "distinguished and continued contributions over a substantial period of time to the advancement of the science and engineering of tribology,"[5] and Hersey was named its first recipient. In 1967 the ASME also awarded him the ASME Medal. Selected publications
