from Washington, D. C. to Annapolis, Laryland for the purpose of
inspecting a CVE similar to the one which was to be used to transport
TG-7.6.
It was decided that the after pilot ready room would be the
most desirable place for the instrument repair shop because of its
space, air-conditioning and access to the hanger deck.
Examination
of the ship's photographic laboratory indicated that it would be
adequate for film badge processing if the temperature could be con-
trolled near 68° F,
The air-plot and CIC spaces appeared suitable
as monitor control centers.
As soon as it was decided that a ship
of the type examined could be used on the mission a letter requesting
that necessary modifications be made on the assigned ship was sent to
the Chief of Naval Operations on 17 November 1947.
During the week of 1 December 1947 Dr. Lapp and Mir. Dahi, ARC,
made a visit to the National Technical Laboratories in South Pasadena,
California,
There it was discovered that the ion chamber survey
instrument being manufactured by them was the model MX-2 which was
not the field instrument desired for the proposed operation,
Dr, A. Oo
Beckman, president of this company, indicated that his concern could.
produce a much superior instrument’ and requested specifications.
approximately 8 December discussions were held among Dr. Lapp, Mr.
Dahl, Dr, Andrews and It, Canmander Campbell, and the recammendations
formalizing this request were set forth in a memorandum to Major Dauer
on 22 Decembar 1947,
Chanres were as follows:
