AI Hammer, first Askania film reader, is retired. Marie McArtor, Askania operator from 1953 to 1973 - the longest ofany one person at China Lake and the first woman field operator in the United States- is also retired. Kenny Hire, first Askania technician, will retire sometime this year. Gone are some ofChina Lake's earliest pioneers, men and women who carved a world-class naval base out ofa searingly hot, parchingly dry, and disagreeably windy comer ofthe Mojave Desert. And on March 4, at a gala chili feed hosted by lOB's Photovideo Branch China Lake, retired the first 14 of49 of its most enduring per- formers: the Askania Cinetheodolites. Photo by Tim Ty$00, S&TD ASKANIAS-Mounts built in the 1940s and 1950s have served the ranges well as as single-function traiectory- tracking tools. But technological advances have made them obsolete and their lime has come for retirement. Past and current employees ofthe lOB Photovideo Branch gathered March 4 to retire the first of 14 of49 ofthe mounts that hove served on the north ranges for more than 50 years. For the past 51 years- March 1945 to March 1996 - these 49 Askanias worked on the north ranges ofChina Lake, supporting over 15 test firings per day and gathering trajectory data for some ofthe Navy's earliest precision-guided weapons: the Bumblebees, the Terriers, the Tarters, the Redeyes, the ASROCS, the Pop-Ups. Please see ASKANIAS, Page I0 CRADA holds hope for cleaner air CL chemists adaptation of liquid sampling device draws industry interest By Barry McDonald Ed1 101 T he Department of Defense doesn't exist for the purpose of making industry's life easier. Its purpose is the defense of the country against for- eign threats. Occasionally, however, DoD and industry face other, common threats. Since passage of the Clean Air Act of 1990, the release oftoxic airborne metals into the atmosphere has come under increased scrutiny, and both DoD and industry must find ways of decreasing such emissions. Last October NAWCWPNS China Lake and Thermo Jarrell Ash Corporation (TJA) entered into a cooper- ative research and development agree- ment (CRADA) to develop a continuous emissions monitor for hazardous air pol- lutant metals. The agreement stemmed from the success of Dr. Michael D. Seltzer in developing an early prototype ofsuch a device. Near instantaneous detection China Lake was originally approached by Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane Division, Crane, Ind., to identify a system capable of monitoring, in real time, airborne metals that were being emitted from an experi- mental pyrotechnics incinerator. Seltzer, an analytical chemist in the Research and Technology Division, obtained an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spec- 1 trometer, which is normally used to mea- sure the trace metal content of liquid samples. He modified the ICP to intro- duce a sample air stream into the plasma and detect metals in the air stream. Seltzer's system was tested at the NSWC incinerator in 1993, and although it was limited in sensitivity and the num- ber of metals it detected simultaneously, measurements were obtained at 40-sec- ond intervals and were in reasonable agreement with measurements made by conventional methods. The results of conventional testing methods were not available, however, for nearly three weeks after the test. This fact punctuates the value of the near instantaneous update of metal emissions in Seltzer's system, and its attractiveness to both the public and private sectors. EPA encourages effort Following the success of the field tests, Seltzer submitted a patent disclo- Pieose see MONITOR, Page 13 Dr. Michael D. Seltzer , OCR Text: 20 ...
