SUBJECT: I (Destructor System
1. on 6 September 1957 the undersigned
discuss the subject project with personnel of
18 September 1957
As work is nearing the end of the developments , they were given
a sample specification to use as a guide and were assigned Spec. No. 309.
2. The design of the destructor is nearly finalized except for a
few minor changes such as the handle and friction in the rotating parts.'
Five units will be available for safety testing the week of 16 Sept.'57
and about four weeks after that, 15 units will be delivered to us. The
safety ttets will show whether or not accidental initiation of the de-
tonators will set off the booster charge when in the safe position.
3. Tees, couplings, unions, and end caps made of nylon have been
fabricated and subjected to limited tests. These fittings are to connect
lengths of primacord with various pieces of equipment and all connections
are made by screwing the connectors together finger tight. Additional
environmental and vibration testing will be performed in the near future.
To allow a neater installation, the above fittings will be supplemented
by elbows and double tees. The elbows should be especially useful when
a sharp bend in the primacord is required.
4. Upon receipt of the destructor initiators, a complete mock-up
of the targets will be laid out with priascord and explosives in the
same configuration as will.be found in ~aircraft.
