Location in Aircraft

Location of the sensing
devices and instrumentation
equipment installed in the two
aircraft is described for each

aircraft in the sub-paragraphs

below. The instrumentation of
the individual aircraft was not

changed between Mike and King
Shots. For Shot 9, additional
instrumentation was added to

the B~36 empennage.

The location of sens~
ing elements and recording equip-

ment utilized on the Be36 air

craft for IVY is shown schematically in Fig. 2.7.

The code numbers are

used to cross-reference Fig. 2.7 and Table 2.1 which supply additional
detail on the various installations. The aircraft was instrumented for
14 resronse and two inout measurements. The pressure transducers were
mounted in the boom on the left wing, shown in Fig. 2.7, to minimize the
influence cf the aircraft on the free air overpressure measurement. inctrumentation was located either in the fuselage or the left side of the

aircraft, except for one bending gage installed in the right wing to check
loading symmetry. The metnod of installing and electrically connecting

the various gages has been discussed earlier in paragraph 2.3.2, which
also includes sketches of typical installations.
The oscillographs and associate equipment were located in the
aft crew compartment shown in Fig. 2.8. The view shows the left side
of the compartment looking forward. The table occupies the space normally used by the lower bunk. Two of the four oscillographs mounted on
the table are shown. The oscillograph in the foreground was used to re~
cord blast data; the remaining three were used to record thermal data,
To facilitate switching from main to spare gages an_ to permit
recording any of the gage outputs on any of the 16 channels, a selector
panel, shown in F ig. 2.9, was installed, The bridge balances employed
The high frequency pressure recorder used in the measure~
re also shown.
