will fire when it is needed, and
not at any other time.
Explosives Put to Work
Another area of explosions
research is concerned with the
design of explosive devices not
intended to damage, but to do
work. These devices utilize the
practically instantaneous re-
lease of a great amount of en-
ergy, which is the long way to
say explosion, for the operation
of mechanical systems or proc
esses. The cartridge that op.
crates the election escape cap
sule for a jet pilot is such a de-
vice. Others are used to sepa-
rate the stages of a multi-stage
rocket, or to open the parachute
that slows the landing of su.
personic plane.
White Oak scientists are also
interested in what happens to
the materials that meet with an
explosions blast and heat. Here
again, advanced Instrumentation
IS used to observe and measure
things that happen far faster
than the human eye can see.
In the course of this work,
not only high explosives but
nuclear explosion phenomena
are studied. MOL scientists
used smoke-dispensing rockets
ascending 5000 feet to form grid
lines alongside atomic expo
sions. High-speed motion pic.
lures recording the distortions
in the smoke grid lines were
used to measure shock waves
from the atomic blasts.
Materials Research
The development of new or
improved materials for new
weapons is the responsibility of
several different areas at MOL
White Oak.
Semiconductors are the mate.
rails whose unique electrical
properties made possible the in.
vention of transistors, which in
turn have resulted in far-reach.
ing changes in electrical circuit
design. Solid state physicists
at MOL are engaged in basic
research on these materials, to
find out how to take advantage
of their special characteristics,
and better still, to produce new
compounds which will have
those characteristics to a pro.
nounced degree.
The laboratory has several
facilities devoted to the study,
development and evaluation OF
plastics and ceramics. Some OF
these materials combine light
weight and resistance to mois.
ture, oxidation, or chemical cor.
rosion, with the ability to with.
stand extremely high tempera.
lures.
The newest facility at the lab.
oratory, now under test, is a
high-temperature electric arc
furnace, capable of producing
temperatures as high as $1,000
F. The furnace will be used
to study, develop and test ma
terials for nose cones, rocket
motor housings, and similar ap
plications.
Magnetic materials-used in
the magnetic circuits of cleo
trical apparatus - are widely
used in weapons systems and
fire control and guidance mech
anisms. Sensitive devices made
of these materials can be incor
porated into mines, depth
charges and torpedotS to deto.

gases belt the model down
range as fast as 1900 feet per
second, to shatter to bits on an
armor-plate butt at the end of
the range. But in the average
2/10ths second of flight, as
many as 60 pictures can be
taken by "sparklight" electron-
ically triggered by the missile
itself.
Explosives Chemistry
In spite of their long history,
the manufacture of explosives
and the knowledge of just how
much breakage you can get out
of given bang! has only re-
Gently assumed the status of a
science. Today, MOL scientists
and engineers prepare solid ex-
posive charges by machining a
chunk of high explosive on an
automatic lathe, or by COM
pressing it in hydraulic press.
To see what they are doing they
use remote controls and closed
circuit TV. Vacuum kettles
whose wicked contents would
put to shame the cauldrons of
Macbeth's witches seethe and
gurgle behind walls of concrete
three feet thick, guarded by an
other TV eye.
Much Of the progress In the
science of explosives has come
about through the development
of measuring and observing in.

within feet or inches of a blast
and responsive enough to re.

Grating thousands of degrees Of

emission. Spectrographs record
the thermal spectrum.
In a specially-developed vac.
uum chamber, primary explo.
sive effects of shock wave and
heat radiation can be studied al
simulated attitudes as high as
100000 feet. An explosive blast
amplifier, called a blast cone, is
another MOL engineered re
search device. BY directing all
the blast energy one way, from
the explosion of a tiny charge
at the apex of a conical cham
Der in a firing block, the blast
waves produced viii equal those
of a large charge fired in the
open. And another kind of full
scale, expensive field study need
not be made.
The laboratory's explosives
scientists want to know exact
ly how to get their touchy ma
terials to do the very special
jobs they are equipped to do
and do it at the right time
How much electrical energy will
fire a charge? How far car

studies that develop answers to
these and similar questions

An unusual test facility Is
NOL's deep sea pressure tank,
one Vt the worlds largest. Thir-

water or air pressure, the tank
weighs 210 tons, including its

is wheeled outside, the huge
door laboriously slides into

1t is the AN/USD-5," a

in about two-and-a-half years
will be able to send the high

over a battlefield with push

enemy troops and weapons.
1t will radio the information
back to the commander or re-

To understand others than

To love others, more than

For he who gives, receives,

He who forgives, receives
forgiveness.
And dying, we rise again to
eternal life! Amen.
