seconds before another reley operation can occur, thus setting o cdling
on the dose rate range of each channel, The delay is provided by an
RC circuit end clamping diode, and is initiated by a separate contact
on the charging reley.

Recording System

The output from the detector stations will bo recorded at a
central recording room located in hold number four on the port side of
the shaft alley, The roof of the recorder room is a slab of concrete
approximately 12 inches thick, Tho recording devices consist of
approximately 60 per ship, 20 pen Esterline=Angus operation recorders.
See Tab F-l for c diagram of the detection and recording system,

Data Reduction System
Soe Tab F~2 for block diagrams,
3.3.1

Genoral Approsch

Autometic date reductionis provided, Input to the
system is the set of strip charts removed from the operation recorders

after each event, The preduct of the system is a set of plots on
strip charts against time and logerithm of time of the followings
total dose, logarithm of cose, dose rate,and logarithm of doso rate,
Lineer plots of the dependent "veriables are discontinuous at decade
points with the scale identified by margin marks,

automatic Dats Reader

Four units for data receding are provided, Strip charts
are fed by an operntion recorder chart drive between a miniature surgical lemp and ao phototube, The phototube pulses, produced by the doso
increment marks on the chart, are delivered through an output cathode
follower as approximately 70 millisecond pulses of about 1 volt amplitude.
Chart drive is synchronized to power frequency.
