1965 - Tugwell has knowledge of using gold for rocket applications
There is a 1971 research paper author in this paper quotes GIlbert L Tugwell from the 1965 source : "G. L. Tugwell, Metal Prog., 1965,88,73;"
From 1971 research paper "The Optical Properties of Gold - A REVIEW OF THEIR TECHNICAL UTILISATION" by Otto Loebich. (to read the PDF see [HC0005][GDrive])
"For heating purposes the costly radiated heat is concentrated to the greatest possible extent. Domestic cookers, for instance, are fitted with high-speed heaters emitting infra-red rays between 750 and 3000nm. They are located at the focus of a gold-coated parabolic metal reflector (thickness of gold deposit approximately 200 nm). An insulating oxide inter-layer prevents the gold from diffusing into the reflector surface (29). Another system employing waves between 5000 and 15000 nm is used to accelerate the drying of paper after printing (29). Tugwell discusses a hemispherical Westinghouse annealing dome, where the moulded steel dome of a space capsule is heated to 650°C and fitted over a Thin gold films applied to plate glass windows give adequate transmission of light combined with good reflectivity in the infra-red range, so avoiding uncomfortable overheating of the building during hot weather. The Lurgi headquarters in Frankfurt is one of many office blocks and similar buildings fitted with such gold-coated windows made by Flaehglas A.G. Delog-Detag of Fürth, West Germany former without using an excessive amount of power.The radiation from the heating bars is reflected by the gold-coated interior walls and is focused on to the steel dome."
"In the final sizing of steel domes for rocket casings a heat-forming operation was devised by Westinghouse in which the casing was accurately expanded over a mandrel at 650° C. Heating was from high temperature quartz lamps, with gold-coated reflectors to concentrate the heat on the mandrel and work-piece and at the same time to prevent heat losses to the wiring and the structure behind the reflectors"

1968 - As VP of Engelhard, comments on US government involvement in pricing of platinum
See full publication : [HP0007][GDrive]
"Platinum: Engelhard's intimacy with the federal government was recently suggested by Senator John J. Williams (R-Del.) in connection with platinum (New York Times, 3/24/68). The government was prepared to sell l15,000 ounces of stockpiled platinum to Engelhard Minerals and Chemicals Corp. at a price $12 million below the prevailing market price for the metal. In defense, G. L. Tugwell, Executive Vice-President of Engelhard, said, "The thing that annoys us is that we have struggled through this to maintain a fair and reasonable price. Then this silly jerk stands up in the Senate and insinuates we're making a windfall." But the Senator bolstered his charge by seeking to amend the platinum disposal bill by setting the price at $216 to $225 an ounce, which is double the current price paid by Eigelhard and Matthey-Bishop, Inc., the only two U.S. refiners of platinum, but which is the price charged in Western Europe."
