Walking the 72-inch bubble chamber. Paul Hernandez of mechanical engineering conceived the ingenious idea of devising a hydraulic walking method. With this system the bubble-chamber magnet could make right angle turns and maneuver into very tight spaces, thus eliminating the need for an outside rigging contractor. Photograph taken May 7, 1958.
