2.4.2 Procedure
A 35 mm camera to operate at 24 frames/sec. will be installed

in the RB-36. The aircraft will fly at an altitude of approximately
40,000 ft and at a range of from 30 - 60 miles from ground zero. It
is éstimated that the light from the burst will provide sufficient
light ‘to permit the photographing of the shock wave along the water.
if sufficient resolution of the shock propagation can be obtained a
peak- pressure vs distance curve my be constructed from the observed
veloosty |° ‘the shock wave.

éct is scheduled to participate in all shots.

2.5.1 Objective
To investigate the
° validity of the static pressure scaling laws
for large yield surface bursta,~,The principal pressure region of
interest is in the pressure range’below 40 psi.

2.5.2 Procedure

Wianko pressure—time gages bere d baffles will be installed

on islands at various distances from groynd zero generally in the
pressure region below 40 psi. The pressure-time response of the gages
will be transmitted by signal cable to Ampex recorders placed ina
concrete shelter.
