Abstract: An automatic remote-control system armed and fired the bomb and
sent out a sequence of time signals to experimental equipment on the
atoll. A central station at Parry Island sent signals via submarine
cables to a timer station on a shot island. The timer station
controlled signals to the zero station and to experiments on the
island, and through auxiliary stations, it also controlled signal
distribution on adjacent islands. Light-sensitive triggering units for
apparatus and for accurate standard zero-time reference were provided
in the form of Blue Boxes, or fiducial markers.

Abstract: It was the purpose of the Teller-Alpha experiment to measure the

coefficient alpha by means of detectors placed a long distance from the

bomb. The detectors are photoelectric devices that respond to visible
light produced in the air surrounding the bomb by the absorbed gamma
rays. A measurement of this sort was proposed by Edward Teller prior to
