950. ABSTRACT
(See Vol. 1 and Vol. 3 through 7 as XRD-149 and
XRD-151 through XRD-156 respectively). The object of the
test was to determine the radii of damage to typical
items of the Corps of Engineers Equipment and to
discover weaknesses which might be corrected by improved
design. Data were obtained and are presented on
construction equipment, floating bridges, water supply
equipment, mine detectors, electrical equipment,
surveying equipment, fire fighting equipment, and
infrared equipment. With the exception of searchlights
and for infrared devices (Penrod), Corps of Engineer
Equipment will probably withstand the effects of an air
burst of the dimensions of Test A when exposed at a
range of 1000 yd. Recommendations for improved design
are presented.

950. ABSTRACT
Twenty taut-wire moorings were designed and placed
to hold instrument buoys for the deep underwater
detonation, Shot Wahoo, of Operation HARDTACK. Water
depths varied from 300 to 1000 fathoms and the majority
of the moorings enjoyed no protection of the nearby
atoll from open sea conditions. These conditions
