field experience with the device during the tests.

The ship on wnich the telenetering station for Project 6.11
is to be located has been requested for availability on the West
Coast for inspection purposes in mid-July.

This inspection is

required by the project contractor (Pacific Division, Bendix
Aviation Corporation ) to locate the four antennas required.

Some

modification on tne vessel will probably be required to accomodate
these antennas.

Tne decision to drop the MOTS stations due to

operational difficulties arising in regard to the predicted location
of tne Task Force at snot time has removed a major portion of the
zolmes and Narver construction required for this project.
Project 6.12 nas been dropped since no feasible metaod of
accomplisnment could be determined in the limited time available.

A new project, Project 6.13 ~ "Measurement of Free-Air Pressures
by Rocket Photography", proposed by AFSWP is being considered.

The

measurement of free-air pressures by means of photographing smoke

‘trails produced by rockets is considered to be both desirable and
feasible by the sclentific task group.

It is understood that if

epproved, tne Naval Ordnance Laboratory will undertake this experiment at an estimated cost of $30,000.

It will be necessary for NOL

to supply all of tne personnel necessary to conduct this experiment —
with the exception of two or three Holmes and Narver personnel who
