N. J. The flight was of value in tre.ini:ng personnel, establishing a
net for reception of the 74 megacyle radiosonde data, and in obtaining
familiarity with the type of operation peculiar to all large balloon flights.
The actual layout of the train used is sketched in the ap~endix.
Using the lessons learned on the dummy flight, improved equipment
was built for a flight with a payload. Release was attempted on 18 April.
Due to the high vim at 0830 EST, the time of release, and due to mal-
functioning of the Army receiver in the ylane that was to follow the balloons,
release was not made. The already-inflated balloons were cut free and the
equipment was brought back to New York University. It is expected that this
equipment will be flown about 8 l-1ay. A description of the final flight
equipment will be given in the report for May. A sketch of the layout
of equipment built for the second cluster flight is given in the appendix.
As this is a stop-gap method usiDg modified standard components, no
detailed report is being prepared on the equipment. Preliminary altitude
controls used in both flights consist of standard radiosolXie mcdulators
~310 which have bad leads taken otf of the desired contacts of the
coJIIIILU'ta.tor. The modulator thus acts as a pressure actuated control that
releases ballast or balloons. In the first flight small radiosonde rela7s
were used to close circuits to burn off cans filled with ballast. In the
improved, second flight, a nest of plastic tubes were filled with dried
sand. The bottom of the tube was covered with paper and a DuPont type S64
Squib was placed on the paper UDier the sam. On firing the squib, a hole
is torn in the paper, permitting the sand to trickle out. This method
permits dropping of more ballast and yet~ in smaller increments. In the
