Abstract: On Operation Hardtack, arming and firing signals for 35 devices
in addition to a sequence of timing signals for the experimental
programs aré presented. Also, a voice countdown on all dry runs and
detonations, monitoring vital information, and determining, where
practicable, the time of burst and the Bhangmeter yield is included.
The complexity of the shot schedule, which involved several differing
modes of detonation, necessitated a multiple timing and firing
installation comprising seven independent systems; three were operated
from Eniwetok, two from Bikini, one on the USS Boxer, and one on
Johnston Island (Operation Newsreel). Besides the four control centers,
the timing and firing complex included nine island-based, signal
distribution stations, as well as several shipboard stations. A
versatile timing system was devised for this operation which employed a
coder-decoder combination capable of transmitting twenty-four signals.
Signals were transmitted by telephone line or on radio frequencies as
dictated by the individual shot requirements. The timing and firing
system operated accurately and reliably,
transmitted.
