Q:
letter.
It looks like National Archives. I believe I have this
So Ewing was at Woods Hole .••
A: And was going to head up the geophysics department at
Columbia. These are subsequent documents of people in the Air
Force considering the desirability of it.
After Crossroads there seemed to be an enormous push to try
to put microphones into the sound channel. During WWII, the
·signal Corps had laid on them the requirement to develop a
constant level balloon. It had not been very successful. I knew
a bunch of people in the balloon branch.
The reason I got into balloons is that while I was working
on this manual there was a great problem in the winter of '43
with the supply of gum rubber cut off, meteorological sounding
balloons weren't flying very well. In the summer time, the
balloons would go through the depth of the troposphere, but in
the.winter time, the balloons began bursting down at levels of
15,000 feet or so because the neoprene wouldn't stretch at low
temperatures. Somewhere Spilhaus came up with the idea, talked
to somebody in the Weather Bureau, that maybe you ought to heat
the balloons. He told a couple of us second lieutenants, that I
wonder if that would work. We got a blow torch and a .mop bucket
and we had a radiosonde, and he was in charge of the Air Force
push on radiosonde technology. I was his leg man on that. We
put a blow torch on a.mop bucket and heated the water to boiling
and flew the balloon. Much to our surprise, the balloon went to
about 60,000 feet.
Q: So it stretched without rupturing.
A: It turns out that neoprene crystallizes and you can
make it back into an amorphus state with high elasticity.
Elasticity changes as a function of the degree of crystallinity.
By heating, we removed that.
In any event, there was a group in Spilhaus•s detachment
known as the balloon [boilers). The Signal Corps, it turned out,
was very unhappy with this idea. They wanted no interest in it
at all, and their manual doesn't use it. But that was my
introduction, that's how I got attached to ballooning, as a
result of doing this simple thing for Spilhaus.
