In addition to visiting instrument cayanies in the castern areas
of the United Statos, the subcommittee contacted canpanies in other
parts of the country to determine the status of their development work
in this field.
Contact was mde with interested agencies of the Arny,
Navy and Air Force as well as the Atanic Energy Camission to determine
what work of related mture was being pursued by necessary agencies,
As well as mking recansendations for the purchase of instrunents
then conmercially availnble, the cammittce drew up tentative specifications for some instruments incorporating features not present in
instruments then in production,
A,
These recommendations were as follows:
The Victorcer-247 fon chamber meter has four scale
readings, 2.5mr per hour full scale, 1X, 10 X, 100 X,
and 1000 X,
It was desired to obtain 10 instruments
modified to havo five seale rances, 2.5 mr per hour
full scale, 1X, 10 X, 100 X, 1000 X, and 10,000 X,
The instrument cominy did not consider this practical
in accordance with their current production design so
a foursscale instrument reading 10 X, 100 X, 1000 X,
and 10,000 X was agreed upon.
