Arrangements have been made with the National Bureau of Standards to conduct spec- tral sensitivity tests and with the Signal Corps at Fort Monmouth to conduct environmental and ruggedness tests on civilian defense type instruments, The first instrument, designed by the New York Operations Office, is scheduled for testing early in August. The Radiation Instruments Catalog copy was shipped to Oak Ridge for printing and distribution. The Catalog will contain photographs and descriptive material on 193 items. Products from 85 companies are listed. The Bureau of Standards is preparing facilities to be made available to the Branch for calibrating, testing, and storing radiation instruments.
