President Extends Season's Greetings

RED-HANDED SANTA - Caught in a shady Christmas act is a red-handed Santa Claus who only aimed to answer :the wish of litfle Ricky Rando and give him a real missile as a Yuletide gift. But Military Policeman Sp3 Willie Simmons upsef Santa's scheme and nabbed him with a Dart anti-tank missile - the Army's smallest - as he was trying to sneak it to six-year-old Ricky. The MPs figured it was a natural wish for Ricky, who resides at :the Proving Ground with his parents, M/ Sgt. and Mrs. Randy Rando. Ricky. who only has :to look out of the window at home to see missiles blaze skyward from their launching pads at :this rocket and missile fest center, will have to be content with a toy missile this Christmas. As for Santa, :the MPs sternly warned :they will put up with no more shenanigans. (U.S. Army Photo.)

An Army team of military and civilirm personnel from here plucked Domino to safety with the ai(~ of a crane. Domino was up to his neck in icy water for abot t six hours.

To all of you go my heartfelt ·thanks for your magnificent efforts in these troublous times t o pre­serv~ our freedom. In a world of such great technological change, it is now .rnore important than ever before that all of us apply our­selves with increasLd vigor to the ta.';k at hand. It should be a source <:f. great ~atisfaction to you to knov.' that you are serving your country at a time when it is ex­tremely important to uphold the lofty ideals of the entire Free Wcrld. I trust you v.. ill have re­ne\.\ed inspiration and strength in the great wotk you are doing.

May God bless al: cf you and may He conttnue to guide the world into the way of lasing peace.

WILBER M. BRUCKER Secretary of the Army

WITH the approach of the Christmas season, we of the Army pause once more to g.ve thanks ~hat our country continues to en­joy the blessings c! peace and se­curity. Throughout the year, in our performance of duty in many parts of the word, we have never lost sight o.f cur duty to stand ready •to defend the peace and to protect our Chris'tian way <Yi life. We shall enter the New Year mindful of the ccntinued requirement for OUl'

sustained efforts to banish the fear of war through our visi'ble readi­ne~s to maintain the peace.

Although Christmas is tradition­.£ 11y a time of homeco;mig, the obli­gations of the Service wi'.l require many men and women of the Army to celebrate the holiday in distant lands. To you and to all other members of the Almy I send a sincere IMerry Christmas and <i

hope for your continued happinesf in a life of fruitful and -effective service. May this holiday bring joy to you and to your familie' aod the New Year be witness tc the success of your efforts in the cause of peace on earth.

GEN MAXWELL D. TAYLOR Army Chief of Staff

Christians throughout the worl1 celebrate the birth of Jesu Christ. The significance of thi~ <>vent in terms of its influence for pe8ce and thoughtful co~t siderat10n of the well being o people, everywhere is historic be yond measure.

Sacrifice for others is funda mental in the practice of th Christian faith. Because of th willingness of our Armed Force to make sacrifices in the pe1 formance of their duties, thi Christmas will be one of more assured peace. Because of th vigilance of our Armed Force tho:;e peoples who exist in land! where oppression is the rule ar sustained by the hope of eventua freedom.

·weather Is No Problem With Conditioning· Unit

By DON CANGE

Weather is no problem for White Sands Proving Ground's mis­sile men. If they don't like it, they change it.

Thanks to a new $80,000 portable field conditioning chamber, which is scheduled to go into full operation soon after the first of the year, missiles can be fired from launching areas under temper­ature conditions simulating climates ranging from the Tropics to the Arctic.

Men of the Climatic Section of the Environmental and General ' Branch of the Electro-Mechanical Laboratory of Ordnance Mission , make weather in stationary and mobile chambers. The weather­

makers can produce temperatures from minus 100 to plus 200 de­grees Fahrenheit.

And the weathermakers don't stop with temperatures. They can produce relative humidities up to 100 per cent, simulated altitudes up to 200,000 feet and up to 12 inches of rain an hour - all under controlled laboratory-like tests.

The section even has units which mix salt with water to force "salt fog" into chambers to simulate missile storage conditions on the sea coast.

* * * Arctic clothing is used by the technicians who have to work under extreme temperature conditions in the cold chamber. A closed-circuit television system is installed in the cold chamber, located within the technical area here, to keep watch over pro­ceedings on the inside.

The costly and highly technical equipment permits the Climat ic Section to determine, without ever leaving the Proving Groun.d, whether missiles can work properly under various environmental conditions in the field and how they can be improved to withstand all types of weather in any section of the world.

From the laboratory tests in the stationary chambers, the Cli­matic Section taff can move with equal ease to the launching areas in the field and run tests there by means of ii. portable conditioning chamber.

CRACKUP CREW - Laboratory mechan ics p ulverize :the dry ice before shoveling chunks into the portable evaporator unit. A:t right is a :truck loaded with tons of dry ice. The mechanics, from left, are Pfc Tom Pickering and Ernest W. Martens. At the corner of the conditioning chamber ar e two pressurized oxygen tanks which feed oxygen inside the :tank :to 12 outlets.

''* ,,,, ~.,,ot;;i. -

Section employes prepare :to enter :the chamber :to check on :the :temperature of :the frozen mis­sile. Equipped with walk.around portable oxyg en bot tles which have a 15-minute supply, :the pair may plug in :the lines :to :their bottles at any of :th e dozen oxygen outlets scattered around :the chamber inside. Holding :the door for :the :two is mechanic Peter J. Panos who, without a shirt makes a striking contrast to :the fur -garbed duo, w ho from left are Bill Brown, Climatic Section chief, and Oscar Calderon , research mrcologist.

The new conditioning chamber will be used for larger missiles, while smaller one, which has been in use here for several years, will continue to be used when feasible.

Th new chamber, known at the Proving Ground as a "mobile shroud," was designed by engineers of the Climatic Section to t umble or topple temperatures within the vast range of minus 100

(Continued on P age 3)

SEPARATION TIME - Almost as quick as a wink, the giant conditioning chamber is unhooked and pulled away from :the missile by a prime mover on each end. Equipped with hydraulically· operated wheels, :the sections can be separated and transported out of the launching area in a couple of minutes. Here. two shirtless Douglas Aircraft field fechnicians, flanking a puff of cold air, rush in to check the temperature of t h e m ii;sile's skin while the chamber's two sections are pulled away.

LAST-SECOND CHECK - The conditioning chamber now pulled away, :the iced

missile rests on its launcher while Douglas :technicians make a lasi-second check .

Icicles can be seen on missile fin direc :tly behind Techn ician J, M. Doss, who is shown shirtless in foreground. Chunks of ice dot :the launching area beneat h fhe missile. Photos shown in this series were taken during r ecent checkou ts of the huge conditioning chamber. The first missile to be conditioned in t he chamber is scheduled for a test firing soon after the fir st of the year.

f

GOING UP - A nother Douglas Aircraft technician flicks the switch that raises :the mighty

Hercules into position for firing. Dry ice on pavement below sends up puffs of cool white smoke w hile the hot desert sun beats down with blistering intensity.

TARGET-BOUND - The Hercules, belching a tail of flame, rips away from its launcher and blasts skyward to seek out its target to end the story of an Arctic firing in the desert.

Missiles Tested Here In Tropic, Arctic 'Climates'

(Continued from Page 1)

to plus 200 degrees. The chamber will be used to condition a Nike Hercules and other missiles of similar size for simulated Arctic or Tropical firings .

Prime contractor for the chamber was_ Guldemann Construction and Engineering Co. of El Paso. Actual construction was under t he direction of P and R Truck Equipment Co. of El Paso.

The "shroud" is 60 feet long, 15 feet wide and 14 feet high. Work began last November, and it was delivered to the Proving Ground from El Paso last summer. Preliminary checkouts on the chamber now have been completed.

* * "* Tne chamber - which splits easily into two S('ctions - is placed about a missile on its actual launcher in the field.

Conditioning units then move up to the chamber and spew hot or cold air into the chamber until either Arctic or Tropical con-ditions are simulated. •

The mobile chamber is equipped with sclf-containea oxygen supplies and a communications system for men working inside. Thermocuple lines lead.ng to the outside can take periodical tem­perature checks on 48 different points of the chamber, missile and launcher. These recording are taken continuously and show up on a temperatl.ire recorder located outside the chamber in a hut .

When the temperature has reached the desired point within the chamber, the two ections of the chmaber can be whisked away and out of the launchmg area by two prime movers within a couple oi m inutes. The missile can be fired a lmost immediately after it is uncovered.

* * * With the acquisition of the new chamber, all missiles at White Sands Proving Ground can now be fired here under all types of climatic conditions. The Proving Ground's elaborately-instrumented range can decive the maximum amount of data from such "con­ditioned" firings.

The highly-mobile chamber can be transported to any launching site on the range where Climatic Section technicians can control the weather in the desert.

Chief of the Climatic Section is Bill Brown, one of the engineers who helped design the "shroud." Other EML employes w ho worked on the chamber's design were Frank Merry and Leon Good.
