hy tion of AEC forces on Parry Island enables sufficient latitude and space to permit the drone operation to be based on Eniwetok Island. Late Construction of Special Buildings and Instrumentation. To forecast and incorporate into the comprehensive plan of the proving ground, all the detailed requirements and facilities for scientific tests for an experiment to be held in the future, is not now possible. While it is anticipated that in general, design and construction will keep pace with, and be currently adjusted to the progress and development of these requirements, it is also advisable to prepare for last minute or "on-the-spot" requirements, To this end the nucleus of a construction force should be maintained to accomplish these purposes. This crew would maintain and operate such construction equip- ment as is necessary and will furnish the manpower requirements for installation services. To enable the above plan to operate smoothly and efficiently, a small crew of specialists working in conjunction with the scientists on the details of "on-the-spot" problems, together with limited blueprinting and reproduction facilities are necessary. Similarly, stenographic, clerical and Similar services should be provided. Installation Crews and Equipment. Under this heading and included as a portion of the overall operational phase are certain functions that rightfully cannot be accounted for under construction or under operational items. These operations are concerned strictly with the transporting, handling, installations, preliminary testing and adjustment of scientific instruments and equipment required by the experiment and which are considered outside the scope of a construction contract. Scientific personnel, utilizing con- struction equipment and assisted by construction craftsmen, will install and prepare such instruments in accordance with their own requirements. A diver-=- VI - )
