Responsible post. Washington, D.C., Sept. 28. A post, which probably carries with it more responsibility than any other in the field of aviation, is held by Richard C. Gazley, New Chief of the Safety and Planning Division of the Bureau of Air Commerce, U.S. Department of Commerce. All problems relating to aircraft, airports, air transport, education, international relations, power plants, and radio development come under his direct supervision. One of the most important phases of his job is the developing and testing of all new safety devices for aircraft. In this picture, Gazley is shown inspecting an audio meter for testing radio receiving apparatus.

And now we have the "wool meter." Speaking of taxi-meters, yardsticks, and other measuring devices, the "wool meter" has been introduced by the Bureau of Standards. Described by the forbidding name "eriometer," this new instrument is intended to measure the diameter of wool fibers and thus indicate the relative qualities of the fleece entering into our wool clothes. H.J. McNicholas of the Textile Section is shown with his invention, which employs the principle of diffraction of light

Fullmer of the Bureau of Standards is shown with an interferometer by means of which differences in length are measured in terms of wave-lengths of light to the millionth of an inch. A four-inch square precision gage is being compared for length with the Bureau's standard 4 inch, which is rectangular in shape. These gages are tested against the master gages which the different auto manufacturers check their measuring devices so that the parts of the cars separately made can be, when assembled, fitted perfectly.

Ordinary seaman Jackson becomes a D.E.M.S seaman gunner. After a four months' course at a naval training establishment, ordinary seaman Jackson became a seaman gunner on board a merchant ship, a member of the Navy's Defensively Equipped Merchant Ships Service. D.E.M.S gunners and gunners of the Maritime Regiments, soldiers who now serve beside them, have destroyed or damaged 228 enemy aircraft since the beginning of the war. Equipped with a great variety of new weapons and anti-aircraft devices, the D.E.M.S Service has grown from a nucleus of 1,300 men to nearly 20,000 trained seamen gunners and gunslayers. Soldiers originally recruited from the Army as a temporary augmentation, later took the name Maritime Regiments, thus reviving and carrying on the 17th century regiment of that name.

The KSC Beach Corrosion Test Site was established in the 1960s and has provided more than 30 years of historical information on the long-term performance of many materials in use at KSC and other locations around the world. Located 100 feet from the Atlantic Ocean approximately 1 mile south of the Space Shuttle launch sites, the test facility includes an atmospheric exposure site, a flowing seawater exposure site, and an on-site electrochemistry laboratory and monitoring station. The beach laboratory is used to conduct real-time corrosion experiments and provides for the remote monitoring of surrounding weather conditions. The newly added flowing seawater immersion facility provides for the immersion testing of materials and devices under controlled conditions.

S48-E-013 (15 Sept 1991) --- The Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) in the payload bay of the earth- orbiting Discovery. UARS is scheduled for deploy on flight day three of the STS-48 mission. Data from UARS will enable scientists to study ozone depletion in the stratosphere, or upper atmosphere. This image was transmitted by the Electronic Still Camera (ESC), Development Test Objective (DTO) 648. The ESC is making its initial appearance on a Space Shuttle flight. Electronic still photography is a new technology that enables a camera to electronically capture and digitize an image with resolution approaching film quality. The digital image is stored on removable hard disks or small optical disks, and can be converted to a format suitable for downlink transmission or enhanced using image processing software. The Electronic Still Camera (ESC) was developed by the Man- Systems Division at the Johnson Space Center and is the first model in a planned evolutionary development leading to a family of high-resolution digital imaging devices. H. Don Yeates, JSC's Man-Systems Division, is program manager for the ESC. THIS IS A SECOND GENERATION PRINT MADE FROM AN ELECTRONICALLY PRODUCED NEGATIVE. s48-e-013
