And you're not only going to help me, you're going to check what I check. Roger?" "Roger," Rick replied grimly. "How long will it take?" "All night. We'll live on sandwiches and coffee and get no sleep. But when we're through, we'll both be satisfied that all electronics in Orion are correct and functioning." "But hasn't the rocket been checked already?" Rick asked. "Twice. Every circuit in it.
I turned the incident folder over to the electronics specialists at ATIC. They made the analysis and determined that the targets were caused by weather, although it was a borderline case. They further surmised that since the targets had been picked up on two radars, if I checked I'd find out that the two targets looked different on the two radarscopes.
For an instant, as the nose access port yawned before him, Rick had a vision of himself in pressure suit and plastic helmet, mounting the rocket as a pilot mans his plane, anticipating the signal for blast-off. Gee-Gee brought him back to earth with a prosaic, "Let's get at it, boy-oh." It was the beginning. The picturesque but highly competent and efficient electronics chief hadn't exaggerated.
Although this sighting wasn't as glamorous as some we had, it was highly significant because it was possible to show that the UFO couldn't have been a lighted surface target. While we were investigating the sighting we talked to several electronics specialists about our radar-visual sightings.
Almost every month finds some new development in electronics which must be put into production in order to maintain our technical superiority and in order to save lives. We have to work every day to keep ahead of the enemy in radar. On D-Day, in France, with our superior new equipment, we located and then put out of operation every warning set which the Germans had along the French coast.
His course in the Corps school had included considerable mechanics and electronics, and the tearing down and rebuilding of many of the machines and instruments the Corps used. What he was trying to make now was a "frequency-transformer."
"Then you're going to make these men take these tests, whatever they are?" "If they want to work for me, yes. And anybody who fails to pass them will be dropped from my payroll." "And who's going to decide whether or not these men have successfully passed these tests?" Crandall asked. "You?" "Good Lord, no! I'm an electronics engineer, not a psychologist.
Each went back to his own unit, more on guard then ever before for the slightest hint of irregularity in personnel or equipment. The electronics group of Pegasus was just about at a standstill. Dick Earle and Frank Miller had gone to the firing area, to lend the Orion group a hand. Dr. Bond remained, along with Kassick and Sherman.
The subject had been employed by Consolidated Electronics as a junior engineer, and had designed several improvements for Consolidated's products. There was a record of promotions and a few awards. He had held a few patents, which had been taken over by the Central Coördination Products Division during the post-war reorganization.
He rotated the cylinder and pressed a similar spot on the other side. Rick saw a thin line appear around the rocket below where Cobb had pressed. The electronics specialist gripped the cylinder above and below the thin line and twisted. The nose of the rocket came off. Cobb pointed to a pair of metal prongs that extended out of the nose into the rocket casing. "Contacts," he said.
