War and Peace in the Nuclear Age; The Weapon of Choice; 102; The Navy's Part in Operation Sandstone (2 of 3)

Ask the Boar's Head for the forward areas. There is now an increased emphasis on the air lift particularly to quad tell him that there's a hive of activity with considerable rehab the location has been conducted up to some of these little used since World War 2 or operation crossroads airlift is important in the logistics plan for the telescope time and the briefing it's just them linking the continental United States to the Marshall Lima high priority freight and important personnel. I've spent to many destinations by aircraft of the military air transport services. Air left to give us further flexibility to our complicated operations plan permitting critical materials to be delivered with a minimum delay and allowing difficult schedules to be matched. To the air was has been assigned the job of the American give the men here a lot to learn the basics the principle the air component. Included in the flight plan our Navy air sea rescue unit whose amphibians are equipped with the small boats that can be parachuted to the surface of the sea. Navy converted

B-17 Zar used more than the submarine patrol. The way the barriers are a. Certain areas of the proving ground at other points earth formed the expected. Hundreds of. Work work work.

You're with. The main body of the task force arrives and the anchors at the lagoon. And the ships are anchored with an easy side of the zero tower. At last that is evident but a major part of the Navy plays by now only three of the task force of 10000 are drawn from Navy ranks to supply in the house and garden operation of the saw it requires about its elements of AC power tankers destroyers and destroyer escort bands boy tenders amphibious craft repairs ships refrigerator and provision ships and a host of specialized that in this profit a

lagoon a virtual community afloat the ships composed of parts of the old and powerful force capable of many tasks. Doing all the tasks assigned doing them well. It was deliberate. Twenty seven hundred food delivered nearly 2000 drinking water manufactured for units not self-sustaining. Twenty two million gallon. Diesel fuel delivered better than a million and a half gallon motor gasoline delivered more than 500000 gallons aviation gasoline delivered more than 600000 gallon black fuel delivered nearly six and a third million gallons. Man and equipment go ashore many phases of the instrumentation projects

must still be carried out. And the scientific groups reach their outdoor laboratory. For the islanders being transformed into a virtual tabletop. When the experiment. Work goes on apace rigors of the topical climate make each new project that challenge each day's work a trial and each completed task. A cry of.

Or. Will the job be done on time. It must be done on time. But that is swept beneath the pillows. And the car will stand. Now Rob the meditation provides many a map or even those vehicles designed to operate on the back of the main. Difficulty going up no say. Whether my style has not been stabilized. When the power the workers what I heard a cane of sand making wind screens on a Saturday for many projects. And then do an experiment by Los Alamos scientists to detect the presence of neutrons and betting of dozens others from the zeroth power cables are set on one

cable to which location planks have been attached for the sake of buoyantly is hauled out to the lagoon. These balls unwrapped the one from the album ol service platforms more sample containers that are to be more into the cable like a spring of tiny island. Also already going from the point of the $0 of second cable experiment is that up with sample containers mounted on five hogs and variously shielded like a gigantic clothes line. The cables with neutron detecting samples attached will be revealed and after the detonation thousands of man hours are consumed by a job that our share of physical labor. Soil stabilization is necessary to minimize and to solidify it over the mountain better will absorb more of the black blast coaxial cable than the hundreds of instruments must be dust compared to render the precise results to be demanded by the operator. To avoid many instruments are installed a minimum the interval before

abandonment of the zero Island sense data must be precise. Each wall of these block houses gets an identifying number. This structure is a reference to our cameras aimed at the fireballs they do of the explosion with include it as a known measurement. Important to the architects of an atomic age is the study of blast effects and blast the flexion and relation to better gear surfaces angle and structural techniques. These strange objects pre-formed in the United States and the ship when we talk or installation by the Army engineers comprise a test conducted by the Navy's Bureau of yards and dock the structures are a different shape and size seven different footing and thus falls differently to the zero tower. Hence the great variety of data will result to make certain that atomic secrets are safe in God and that is the job of the security forces the combined civilian and military groups who have charge of the segregated areas and who make certain

that access to these areas is granted only to watch the rise personnel. Many jobs remain to be done in the short interval remaining. As preparation for a future task. Animal chambers of the Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery being given a limited trial are so far and in the lagoon the thermal plaques of the Bureau of ships contain colored and lost material plastics and fabric. Gamma stations have commenting to you correctly aimed to channel radiation from the fireball in the rising cloud which ionization chambers within the shell there must be a line. This is another experiment of the Atomic Energy Commission that requires precision and the important care. Access parts of the gamma stations are shielded with cans of boric acid and weapons or military personnel whose paths for the present are completed by being evacuated

to a distance at. Once afloat again bringing more seniors to guard against all emergencies. With us again today measures are even more painstaking as events go ahead with low pressure Ando radio facsimile brings weather information that is added to the great flow of communications mapping aboard the Mount McKinley. Only whether such a flow of information and General Holland hears that coordinate the great undertaking disposition of the Navy units as reported by a rear admiral done to bring the naval task group commander Major General Kepner given the air status. With the staff so

readily assembled discussion of the Into related problems. Flexibility is important to a complex operations plan whether information is my home or whether it is the crux of the times get you. Up on the forecasters depend many of the commanders engines now to be made. Long range weather planes roll in the cloud formations and temperatures weather information communications mapping but knowing the burdens that will be placed on communications particularly the type and radio telephone circuits of the GOM services have planned their networks well show or are bound together by networks that demonstrate daily separation.

At Khwaja Air Force photo planes will then camera installations completed for full dress rehearsal. With. Frequently her soul has imparted to the photos the precision needed autographing assignment. Of the photo towers at the proving ground. The most interesting of that build on a cold shoulder in the middle of the lagoon here batteries of motion picture cameras running it betting is to record the phenomena of atomic explosion will all be

remotely triggered. Augmenting them banks of a still camera. Last minute projects are now being accomplished by scientific groups still on the island. Blast high strung with the soft wire I've set out to give direct reading with a blast pressure blast cams called Penny gauges. Another economical method of obtaining direct readings of the glass I put in place. Film sensitive to gamma rays is being distributed at hundreds of places some exposed and some concealed in the glass structure. Navy experiments are many. This channel devised called the bill Mahomet's or will provide data on Gamma penetration when angles are involved. Nearby a snugly tied and glass cloth is a packet of medical samples between steel plates representing various hollow like the normal major radiation penetration in relation to shielding. The

Bureau of ships also wants to study drama back then determine decontamination procedures in relation to these racks of pain Manisha. The Nationals work and plastic ball to be exposed to a comic explosion. As a guide in the design of modern jet. The mural of the ships needs an abundance of information and the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery is searching for a simple inexpensive but back of an index of exposure to gamma radiation is testing these crystals that will change color according to the amount of the radiation. Such tests may have a reaching up Max in the exploration of many phases of an atomic shielding up ordered by Samantha's beings that into. Biological is a material exposed. The medical studies has gotten some topic heat and humidity by rappings a glass wall. Inside the station. The last record is better than to the massive cop on

the field like a recording from unwanted radiation elsewhere on the island. Structures I feel. The sentinel against the sky tower is a symbol of a weapon installed a laboratory ready. Time is gone. Security guard the Messiah. A major hit on the way from a 0 0 0 still without looking.
