Installation of a Sharp CDL-14 Carbon-Dating Laboratory was completed at Ohio Wesleyan University in June, 1962. The unit includes a sample conversion system constructed by Radiochemistry, Incorporated for the conversion of carbonaceous samples to the counting gas, methane. Counting equipment consists of a modified Sharp Low Beta system with a 6kv power supply and dual printout registers which automatically blank the counting circuits for 0.1 min for each 100-min printout. The detector has a sensitive volume of 0.5 L and is housed in a shield consisting of 8 in. of lead, 1 in. of steel, and 1 in. of mercury. Anticoincidence is provided by a cylindrical 2-L detector containing 16 anodes and filled with petroleum-generated methane to a pressure of 96 cm Hg.
