The RF Anechoic Chamber, generally referred to as the Antenna
Range Room at the Laboratory has finally been completed and accepted.
It turned out to be a long drawn out affair, requiring approximately
three years from start to finish. Nerves and tempers of all inter-
ested parties became a little frayed at times, but it was all worth
it. We now have a first class facility, second to none, and it has
already started to produce results.
Invitations to bid on the construction of the Environmental
Test Building for the Laboratory have been advertised and construc-
tion should start soon. The target date for the completion of the
building is May 15. The equipment will be arriving at approximately
the same time and if everything goes well this facility will be
completed by mid-summer.
Messrs. visited Fort Monmouth on
26 February. Mr. ~~~!Directorj Transmission Facilities
and several of his assistants were told of our plan for a replacement
set for the AN/GRC-109 and shown samples of and given verbal informa-
tion on the RS-49, RR-44 and the 08-8 frequency synthesizer. The
latter item was of great interest to them.
