Transfer of mounts

brcc million dollars were saved and test tracking capability
at the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division will be
improved thanks to cooperation between Navy laboratories
and commands.
According to Clint Seal, head of the ElectnrOptical Branch in
the Range Department at the China LaIce site, the recent transfer of
six Contraves J(jneto Tracking Mounts (KTMs) from Naval Ocean
Systems Command Center (NCCOSC) San Diego will speed up an
internal effort to modernize the time, space, position information
(fSPI) systems on the China Lake ranges. This effort will lead to
the gradual replac::cment of more than 50 World War n era Askania
Cinetheodolite tracking mounts with the KTMs.
The NAWCWPNS plan calls for 15 KTMs with associated
equipment to support the change from a five-image-per-second
film-based TSPI system to a 6O-imagc-per-second video TSPI sys-
tem, operating in real time.
Seal explained that after evaluating their planned test load,
NCCOSC officials decided it would make sense to move tbe equip-
ment to China Lake. NCCOSC has supported tests on San
Clemente Island for more than 20 years. Whenever additional
photo-optical coverage was needed for a test, people and

Veteran CL chemist Dr. Ron Henry passes away at 78
Dr, Ronald A. Henry, an early China Lalcer, died at
his home Sunday, March 13, at the age of78. A memo-
rial servic::c was beld Monday at the All Faith Chapel.
Born Jan. 26, 1916, in Yakima, Wash., Henry gradu-
ated from Yakima Valley High School in 1934 and
went on to the University of Washington, wbere he
earned a bachelor's degree in 1938 and Ph.D. in 1942,
both in chemistry. After working for Proctor and Gam-
ble Co. in Cincinnati, Ohio, for five years, he came to
work at the Naval Ordnanc::c 1l:st Station, China LaIce in
February 1947.
In his 42 )'CIIfS of ..crking with the Navy at China
LaIce be established a reputation for exc::cllence'in all of
his scientific ende8vors. He was an internationally rec-
ognized authority in the scienc::c and ordnanc::c applica-
tions of a diverse class of organic ("high nitrogen")
compounds. Beyond this acknowledged expertise,
Henry was also known for his contributions to other
areas of organic chemistry, including fluorescence and
laser dyes. Perhaps his most notable contributions were
in the field of chemiluminesc::cnce, which he pioneered
with Hero Richter, Joseph Johnson and Ruth Tedrick.
He had more than 20 patents as inventor or coinven-
tor and more than 80 publications as author or coau-
thor. He received the L.T.E. Thompson Award in 1960
and the Navy Superior Civilian Service Award in 1979.
He was a member of the American Cbemical Society,
Sigma Xi (Research Society of America), Phi Beta
Kappa and Phi Lambda Upsilon (Chemistry Hooorary).
Henry was a member of the NOTS Rockbounds
(now the IWV Gem and Mineral Society) since 1951.
He was also a member of the Archaeological Conser-
vancy and had one site named after him.
An active member of tbe Sierra Club Sinc::c 1965, he
was also a member of the Nature Conservancy and a
life member of tbe American Forestry Association. He
held several offices in the China Lake Natural Science
Club, a predec::cssor to the Maturango Museum, which
he later helped to found. With his wife, Mary Ann,
Henry led many outings and hikes for the museum, the
Sierra Club and the California Native Plant Society.
