The filter boxes were designed so that quick - release pins could be removed and the boxes would be free from the aircraft. These pins were pulled remotely for the top box but were pulled by hand for the bottom box (which promptly fell to the ground). The top box was removed from the A/C by a forklift with a long fork extension. The forklift was operated from the bed of a truck which drove up to the nose of the A/C (this provided the right height). The top box was then moved about 50 feet from the A/C by the forklift/ truck. Two people then had to physically lift the box off the forklift tines on to the ground. The forklift then proceeded to the next drone. A team of 2 people then pulled the filter holders from the filter boxes. (Evidently the bottom filter box was not moved away from the A/C.) On ZEBRA shot the bottom filter boxes were never removed from the aircraft. The filter holders were pulled from the bottom boxes on atl eight drones while they were stil] mounted to the belly of the B-17 drones. This change was instituted to reduce exposure time near the drones and the filter boxes. The filter paper holders were moved to an area away from the drones and filter boxes (several feet). The holders were opened and the two papers per holder removed. Each filter pager had to be identified by aircraft number. This was done by ‘stapling a numbered tag to the paper. The papers were then placed in lead pigs which were located in the back of a jeep. The pigs were flat shallow lead boxes which held several filter papers. A lead lid was then placed over the top of each box. From all available evidence there was only TG 7.6 monitor for the entire operation. Four foot long tongs were available to handle the filter paper; however, they were rarely used. They were unweildy and difficult to handle. The wind always blew pretty hard at Enewetak making use of the tongs next to impossible. The paper just couldn't be controlled in the wind with tongs. (However, they were supposed to use the tongs.) 10. Therefore, the men usually held the paper by hand. They all wore gloves. Some had rubber gloves under the cotton gloves and some did not. During paper removal on ZEBRA, Lang complained of itching hands and changed his gloves at least once.
