ProJect Studys The work as outlined in section (a), Piss* 2 of the contract is well underway. The 3 transmitters have been received and tests made to determine keying technignes to handle the desired pulse type transmissions. These tests were eusoessfUl and as a result some slight modifications have been incorporated in the trans- mitters. These modifications are in the clamp tube, a 6145 tube, circuit. Following the successful attempts to key the transmitter an order ems plumed for the 1 kwpower amplifier to use with the transmitter. It in anticipated that modificationsNoy be required to adopt this equipment for this service. Awarding:1y only one of the.. poster amplifiers was ordered at this tile. The additional two required mill be ordered following the *woes. of the initial tests on the first one:ordered. This power amplifier is expected to be available on or about 10 June 1955. The testing and modifying of this unit is expected to be completed by 5 July 1955. As these power amplifiers are readily available it is not expected that these will introduce any delay. A multivibrator unit was designed and assembled including essential controls for out station keying. The preliminsry tests; to determine a suitable photographic technique have been successfullyemq0Ated. This technique maybe modified to adjust it for use with the Dumont camera. The cameras are ached. uled for shipment from the factory the first seek in July. The re- sults of the initial teats of the equiment indicate that all leads, etc. must be carefully shielded. 2.172.1ins No trips were mode during the period covered by this report.

C. Dear June to 1955 Wen Attached are three copies of our aecond summary report covering the period 5 May 5 June 1955. The preliminary work on thiprejeet, es believe, has pro.. greased at a satisfactory rate. Some of the problems encountered proved far less serious than anticipated. However, we do not expect to get off quite, so easily in the future, particularly when we begin tests with the kilowatt power argaifier. For this reason we believe we are rather fortunate in being somewhat ahead of our schedule.
