There was a race between the two groups crick/watson and franklin/wilkins. Crick/watson didn't do experiments but used other peoples work and talked to everyone and anyone; they analyzed others results.

franklin/wilkins used x ray crystalography ( i think thats what its called) and got 'crystalline photographs' which in the end crick/watson used and discovered the structure.

dunno if that wil help but hey, im not smart, i tried :p

'on giants shoulders' by melvyn bragg might help a bit too; it's mostly about crick and watson. its an english text but it's written so that it's understandable.
