This coul~ provide up to 40 hours of pressure-time data it
recovered. At present, about 60 percent o£ the £lights have
been recovered.
2. The adoption of a time-interval or Olland-cycle radiosonde
system £or telemetering pressure data.
3. Expansion ot the network ot ground tracking stations equipped
El Paso

with SCR-658 direction finding sets to increase reception of
data telemetered. Figure 18 shows the area to the east of
Alamogordo, New kexico, and the probable boundaries of flight
paths following release fran the Alamogordo Army Air Base.
Table III shows the prevailing wind data on which these probable
boundaries are based. Also shown in Figure 18 are the desirable
locations £or SCR-658 sets and the overlap ot reception ranges
Which could be expected, using stations at Alamogordo, Roswell,
New Mexico; Hobbs, N.Mex.; and Big Springs, Texas.
