Note - in May 1960, efforts of ALO diverted from Succotash to Vela
Uniform.
(5) No further correspondence exists concerning the Concerto events before «f
about May1960where new discussion seems to be addressing the possibility of
putting the Orchid event between Lollipop which would be done first and Cottontail.
I believe details of planning from this point on are amply covered elsewhere.
iw» Note that the project which was formerly called Concerto, I believe, is called
al/
wShade.
Note that the documentation points to the fact that the Orchid event
Mmewas continually postponed through 1960 and into 1961 with various dates set
early in '61 until a compatibility and field environmental test for the modified
Whirlaway device and associated instrumentation section was performed in April
of 1961. The relation of this test to the actual Orchid event or the Shade or
Vela Uniform program I have not determined. Clearly there was a direct relationship based on an 11 April '61 memorandum rrom Schueler which notes that LRL
technicians will support the Orchid compatibility test on 135 April ‘61.
