The photographic instrumentation used by Project 0.31 is described in this report. The storing of radar information that would provide data for the preparation of geographic plots of ship and airplane positions vs time was accomplished by photographing (1) the visual information appearing on air- and surface-search radar repeaters aboard the USS Mount McKinley (AGC-7), the USS Ernest M. Small (DDR-838), and the USS McKean (DDR-784) and (2) the range and bearing output of the fire-control radar systems as it appeared on specially constructed data panels aboard the USS Ernest M. Small (DDR-838) and the USS McKean (DDR-784). Owing to operational difficulties the data panels yielded partial and intermittent data. The PPI radar recordings are considered satisfactory for positioning of ships and aircraft within the accuracy of the radars used. (Author)
