Progress Report for June-August 1961.
Abstract
Eight gyro test runs were performed, three with the beryllium rotor described and five with an aluminum rotor which had a helium leak. These tests were conducted in connection with a gimballed high precision inertial navigation instrument employing a spherical metal rotor supported without physical contact in ultra-high vacuum by servo controlled electric fields. Investigations in basic physics concerned: ultra-high vacuum, electron-electron interaction in a plasma, c arge and excitation exchange processes, time of flight spectrometer, optical pumping of surfaces, plasma beam experiment, surface kinetics, electron diffraction, Mossbauer effect on Cu and Mo surfaces, auger electron ejection, and vacuum breakdown. Work in the computer group concerned: equipment, multi-aperture device studies, transistorized digital analog computer, plasma delay line, CSL computer, programming, control data 1604 computer, air traffic control studies, and Boltzmann equation solution.
