   Humason had a knack for difficult measurements and became an expert at establishing the redshift of distant galaxies.

   He measured the redshifts of over 600 galaxies, data that Hubble used in his work on the relationship between distance and radial velocity. Later measurements then supported Hubble's proposed relation.
