drop. Recommendations are that all Drivers be instructed to keep parachute
harness's tight. Further, testing with a full pressure suit has beer. de-

POL and LOX Section:
1. Three (3) fuel samples were submitted during the month of
December with satisfactory results received on two of these, results
still pending on the third. Results. were also received on the last
two samples submitted in November.
2. R-2 refueler S/N 62L326 was completely painted; R-2 S/N
62L335 is the-last of the refuelers requiring repainting.
3'. The A.E.L. water detector was received and the following
is a general evaluation of it's performance. The A.E.L. water
detector is far superior to the ESSO Hydro Kit in that it's results
in parts per million can be evaluated down to 5 PPM or less where as.
the ESSO Hydro Kit indicates less than 30 PPM, but where specifically
is relatively unknown. With the ultra-violet light used in the A.E.L.
water detector, there can be no doubt as to determining the amount of
entrained or free water in the fuel. Use of the A.E.L. detector at
home station for the storage system and refuelers it's adaptability
is excellent, however, for in the field use, such as a ferry, it's
adaptability is presently doubtful. The fact that a vacuum pump would
be required, also electrical power, and last but not least the
refueler utilized would have to be equipped whereby a sample could be
received under pressure with specific adapters required. A detailed
message regarding the use and adaptability Of the A.E.L. water
detector kit will be forwarded in the near future.
4. Safety equipment boxes are presently being manufactured and
installed on all LOX carts. Aircraft venting tubes are also being
manufactured and installed on all LOX carts. These are utilized
during the Loxing of the aircraft.

Baker Section:
1. A continuing effort to make all sensors, components, support
equipment, etc., compatible and operationally ready with the new article
has still dominated our working hours.
2. With the introduction of the Instrumentation Package came the
initial problems encountered when going through the 'ole learning curve.
The package did, however, perform correctly in its inaugural flights and
has returned invaluable information on three separate configurations (B-2,
Iris II, and H).
3. The arrival of the H-configuration S/N 003 along with its test
program contributed to an already busy schedule. Initial problems with the
unit seem to continue to plague us with different aspects involved in each
of the two flights.
