It Supplants The Oboe -- The British Broadcasting Corporation has devised a generator which supplants the oboe as the source of standard musical pitch for orchestra about to broadcast. The generator is shown in the photograph without its cover.The note emitted by the generator has a frequency of 440 cycles per second - the internationally agreed standard of pitch for A in the treble stave - and is rich in harmonics. Its frequency is maintained to within ± 1 part in 2000 of its nominal value. The generator consists of a valve oscillator and a loudspeaker, and is mains-operated. Being light and compact it can readily be taken from studio to studio. November 14, 1951. (Photo by BBC Photograph).

S61-E-010 (4 Dec 1993) --- This close-up view of a latch on the minus V3 aft shroud door of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was photographed with an Electronic Still Camera (ESC), and down linked to ground controllers soon afterward.  Endeavour's crew captured the HST on December 4, 1993 in order to service the telescope over a period of five days.  Four of the crew members will work in alternating pairs outside Endeavour's shirt sleeve environment to service the giant telescope.  Electronic still photography is a relatively new technology which provides the means for a handheld camera to electronically capture and digitize an image with resolution approaching film quality.  The electronic still camera has flown as an experiment on several other shuttle missions.

Detector Of Possible Germ Warfare Attack -- Nelson. E. Alexander Army chemical corps engineer, adjusts his invention, a device which can give instant warning of a germ warfare attack, at Camp Detrick, Md. The Army said today that the device, called an aerosoloscope, counts germs, dust and moisture particles in the air. Scientists have long been working on the problem of spotting quickly any sneak attempt by an enemy to release germs, radio active material or a similar substance in the form of "aerosol" cloud.

A laboratory technician writing notes of his observations at the bench of the Ultra-Violet Emission Spectrograph. The emission spectrograph is being used to determine the concentration of additive metals and wear products in lubricating oil. Only a few drops of the oil sample are required in the spectrograph equipment and the test is completed in about ten minutes. The sample is Excited by heating in an electric arc or spark. The light emitted contains a range of wavelengths which are. characteristic of the elements present. The instrument separates the light according to the wavelength and measures the intensity of those wavelengths of interest.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Viking Project In 1976 NASA will land two automated scientific laboratories on the planet Mars. This pioneering effort to explore in detail the surface of another primary planet in our solar system will be identified by a name that exemplifies the spirit of historic exploration. To accomplish this goal, two spacecraft will be launched from the Kennedy Space Center within a month of another in mid-1975. These spacecraft, each including a lander and an orbiter, will hurtle nearly 460 million miles around the Sun before reaching the red planet. The descent will occur when Mars is about 225 million miles from Earth and nearly on the other side of the Sun. This requires a completely automated de-orbit and landing operation because, at that distance, two-way communication between Mars and Earth takes nearly 45 minutes. Surface science will then commence with principal scientific interest invested in biology, geology and meteorology.

Technicians adjust the rocket motor during the attachment of the escape tower to the Mercury capsule prior to assembly with Little Joe launcher, August 20, 1959. Joseph Shortal wrote (vol. 3., p. 33):  The escape tower and rocket motors were taken from the Mercury capsule production. The tower is shown being attached to the capsule....  The escape rocket was a Grand Central 1-KS-52000 motor with three canted nozzles. The tower-jettison motor was an Atlantic Research Corp. 1.4-KS-785 motor. This was the same design tested in a beach abort test...and had the offset thrust line as used in the beach abort test to insure that the capsule would get away from the booster in an emergency. The escape system weighed 1,015 pounds, including 236 pounds of ballast for stability.   The Little Joe booster was assembled at Wallops on its special launcher in a vertical attitude. It is shown in the  on the left  with the work platform in place. The launcher was located on a special concrete slab in Laun

The computer calculates the total content of radioactive isotopes in the lunar materials.  Some 120 different samples from the six landings on the moon have been studied by the lab's gamma spectrometer, which generates 65,000 individual data points of each sample.  Measurements of radioactive isotopes reveal how long they have been near the surface, and also reflect how much the rocks have been eroded by micrometeorites.

The lunar module design underwent gradual evolution from the first configuration proposed by Grumman in 1962. This model is the 1964 version. Langley had the task of building a simulator for the astronauts to practice lunar landings. The configuration of the initial vehicle used with the Lunar Landing Research Facility (LLRF) was changed in 1967 to more accurately reflect the standing position of the astronauts, cockpit arrangement, instrumentation, controls and field of view.

His first flight was Gemini V, which established the space endurance record and placed the United States in the lead for man-hours in space. As commander of Gemini XI, Mr. Conrad helped to set a world's altitude record. He then served as commander of Apollo XII, the second lunar landing. On Mr. Conrad's final mission, he served as commander of Skylab II, the first United States Space Station.

Women Adequately Filling Posts In NACA Laboratory: Nearly 200 women are employed at the Langley Laboratory of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics in a limited capacity as mechanicsÕ helpers and minor laboratory aids on the jobs formerly handled by men, according to E.H. Derring, of the Aerodynamics Division.  Many phases of the operations of various wind tunnels at the laboratory are now handled by women with experienced male supervision.  Mr. Derring said, pointing out that the reading of the data indicated on wind tunnel instruments during a test is done in a large measure by women. In addition to reading the instruments and computing and integrating engineering test data obtained from tunnel investigations, the minor laboratory aides assist in the preparation of aircraft models preliminary to testing. Women employees who will serve in the Aerodynamics Division of the Laboratory attend an orientation class for two weeks, during which they receive instruction on phases
