The ball crusher gauges go underwater. They are planning 64 gauges per station in piles of four, every 10 ft to the bottans there will be 1) ball crusher stations along the line, which makes something of the order of 700 ball crusher gauges in the lagoon. In addition to the instrumentation mentioned above, there will be an NOL fourechannel station positioned so that gauges are at 125 and 75 ft depths ofwater. The Navy is interested in pressures on a sloped botton. It is thought that free information can be obtained from the fourth shot by leaving the cans in after the third. One of the things they will get for certain, assuming everything is working properly, is the tele~ metered infermation. If there is sufficient time interval between shots they may be able to go in and spot three or four cans, lift them out, change the tapes, and put them back. They will do this if they can and with as many cans as they can, depending on the next shot time. They are planning to have all the equipment assembled at NRL by 1 July and then take it out, can by can, to their underwater testing and explosion site in Chesapeake Bay and test them with shaped charges, scaling up the results. From 1 October to 1 November they plan to have a complete checkout of everything, then button up and send it oversease Paul Walsh will be head of this project in the Forward Area. Thaler next discussed their logistic problems, which are considerable. Estimated number of people iss will be broken up as follows: 1) Blectronicss NRL = 10, NOL = 20, DIMB - 4, The groups they hope to have working space on Parry, an open shed with a roof on it, will work on roughly 20 buoys, lifting them around with a fork lift and crane. They have also requested dehumidi fied laboratory space and a little office space. 2) Moorings they have asked for 40,000 ft of open storage area on Eninman, and will have the net layer standing by, will also need in M boat, orane and fork lift at Eninman. It is hoped to have the moors in by 1 February, andthen they plan to immediately begin putting out the cane, so a few of them will be in the ocean two weekse 3) Telemeterings the third group will be working on installation of equipment in the relay station. About three people are involved. One of the big problems, aside fron moor ing the cans, is transporting everything from Parry to Bikini. This should be done about the first week in February, they will perhaps use an LST and a tug.
