REilliREIVE: Memorandum to Chief, OC.. from
1955 (/IA-236)
3.5 November 3.955
/EA dated l November
3.. The referenced memorandum., which prv-L4es the basis for
assignment of the to the laboratory and
eats forth saneof the technical and operational requirements for
the system, has proven very helpful in our efforts to establish
the boundaries and to direct the initial. phases of this project.
2.Preliminar7 designs are not sufficiently advanced, to justify
construction or febricatiao of "hardwire' which is to be installed
in holever, circuit studies and plarrong have
been initiated and effort* are being made to keep this phase
abremst of the information available on the operational requirements
for the system. It should be noted that a solution to the problem
posed by the requirement outlined in Paregr*Ph 3E of the referenced
monorandua may not be possible with the present state of the art
of miniaturized. components. We will thenleforcrevceed. on the
aesumption that a need exists for the ELM Receiver"
even though this requirement cannot be?fULITII
3. In order to speed the progress of initial study and
planning any additional information concerning the following
factors will be or value.

k. The laboratory is aware of the post3btlity that fUfillmont
of the above request may prove to be difficult, and very possibly
impractical, in some areas. In these areas it may be ne?:essary fiv:!
the initial stodies to take the spproadh - "if this is a revire-
ment then this is a solution". However, it is desired to avoid,
wherever possible, the necessity of conducting parallel etudies
because of the attendant drain on time and staff. TO this eLd,
knowledge of those areas in Which no additional information is
anticipated is also of importance in the planning stages of the
project.
