Observer's Duties:

Each aircraft will be equipped with 1) two 1,000 c.fom. air

samplers and a 2610A Survey Meter, 2) conductivity meter,
3) Scintillometer and });) a Cascade Impactor. The observer

will be responsible for the operation of this equipment

and maintaining a log of instrument readings.

' Entries of the following items versus time shouldbe made
on the log sheets provided: scintillometer reading, conduc-=

tivity reading, filter paper sample readings, operation of
Cascade Impactor and aircraft altitude and position. It
may prove unfeasible to complete all entries during the

flight.

It such is the case, items such as conductivity

readings and aircraft altitude and position should be en-

tered from the aircraft log after landing.

One observer on each flight will be designated in charge.

The second observer will relay pertinent data to him by |

radio. The observer in charge will determine by his own
and the second observer's data what flight pattern to recommend,
The conductivity meter will serve as an indication of the

presence of radioactivity.

When available, entries of

aircraft position should be made on the recording chart.

The scintillometer is expected to present a more reliable
measurement of radioactivity. Readings should be recorded
at frequent intervals, particularly w| hen in or near the
