I am trying to track down this reference:
J. H. Yoe; Va. J. Sci.; v3; p8-10; 1942
but what does the Va. stand for?

The Virginia Journal of Science, possibly?

Virginia Journal of science?
There is such a thing, but I don't know where to get access just offhand.
(Virginia used to be Va before the abbreviation was officially changed to VA.)

Many thanks guys. Looks like I will have to contact them to see if I can get a copy.

No worries - what is the paper, as a matter of interest?
Boffis - 23-10-2019 at 11:43
I don't have a title but it is referenced as containing the preparation of various substituted arylalacetones including some asymmetric ones such as
cinnamyl-anisylacetone and their oximes and their us as reagents for tungsten. I have found references to this paper from no less than 3 separate
sources so I am now very curious to see it.

Ah, cool - thanks. I had an idea it might well be metal-related, seeing the titles of some of J.H. Yoe's papers.
It seems all those papers, at least all the ones pre-1950, only exist in actual dusty boxes at the university archive.

Yes thats why I will have to contact the the institution to see if I can persuade them to supply me with a copy. I don't mind paying something for
their troubles.

If you do find it OK, maybe scan and upload it to the SM Library, if that's permitted.
