of the Mark

It is noted that most of the CONCERTO events and some
of the Plowshare events will involve Mark
adjusted, and that the

are identical hydrodynamiically.
gives a detailed list of the various configurations of the Mark VII
which have been tested,
retired, or put in war reserve and details of the tests;

In our files these are
Q,andy.
There is a fair amount of confusion inSeptember of 59 as to which agencies are
sponsible for which areas of test detection and who is working with whom.
e@ arrangement is something like:
LASL, Sandia, and ABMA are working under ARPA
pervision in the high altitude field; and Livermore is working with STL
the underground area.
Apparantly,
This could be entirely wrong.
