Abstract: The primary purpose of the spatial measurements was to gain data
from which the distribution of fission fragments as a function of time
could be computed. Since it was considered that the previous Sandstone
tests did not include enough sample points in space to provide more
than a very rough idea of the distribution of fission fragments with
time, it was decided, to provide more collimators, detectors with a
faster response, a recorder with better time resolution, and more
protection for the detectors. The radial motion of the fission
fragments was expected to be available directly from the measured times
of arrival of the source at the field of view of each detector.

Abstract: Section LAJ-16 was made a part of Task Group 7.1 for the purpose
of initiating and maintaining an accurate file of maps and wiring
diagrams, showing the positions of all Los Alamos and Service
experimental installations at the Eniwetok Proving Grounds. Proper
location of all underground cables between stations occupied a
prominent place in the initial planning. In order to effectively
coordinate the cable installations with the main construction program,
this section assumed the responsibility of acting as liaison among
other LAJ sections and the Service Units designated to perform the
work. Later this liaison function was expanded until LAJ-16 eventually
became an active participant, rather than a coordinator, in cable
laying, wiring, and generator maintenance.
