Archibald Douglas: Sc.D., Ph.D., a chemist recruited by Mary Lou Martin to make cold light production feasible. After his father was driven out of business by exorbitant power costs, he and Mary Lou developed a process that used solar collectors to generate cheap, plentiful electricity. They responded to threats and harassment from the power companies by making the process known to anyone who wanted it, requiring a low enough licensing fee to make its widespread use inevitable. Mary Lou called him "Butch."; (mentioned in passing by George Strong in To Sail Beyond the Sunset)
Douglas (no first name): Archibald Douglas' father, a manufacturer who provided the funds for Archie's research.; (also in other stories)
