and therefore of limited use.

It is not something that you

just send out an instrument to somebody on Quadjalein, md

tell him to stick it in a plane and fly it over the atolls and

send back the record.

MR. HARLEY:

I would like to add, although I

don't defend the comparative reliability of instruments, that
s

people tend to have a great deal of faith in something like a

T-1-B,

and drag that out and make a myasurement and come

back and that is the fact.

Whereas, ourselves, because we

recognize that they are not particularly stable, we don't

12

have quite so much faith.

business has to apply to everything that is used out there.

I think that the same calibration

Actually we had it mde here at the Bureau of

There is quite a

Yes.

MR. HARLEY:

So we have to consider calibration
