DR. J. L. WORZEL (LGO): It is indeed possible to get samples of 

 cores for study providing the results of such studies are made avail- 

 able in publications. We have given too many core materials out, 

 not to get any return in published information. This, then, makes 

 it ultimately impossible to give materials to somebody else who 

 would publish later. 



MR. RALPH MONAGHAN (Dresser Research): Mr. Allyn Vine 

 indicated in his talk that more specialized and selective confer- 

 ences on the measurement of a single parameter should follow. 

 Are these conferences anticipated? And, if so, who will be in- 

 vited, when, etc. ? 



MR. A. C. VINE (WHOI): That is certainly a good question. I 

 do not see how some of these things can get solved unless such 

 conferences are held. It would seem to me that if, when you 

 people go back, you think about the areas of oceanographic in- 

 strumentation in which you are particularly interested and let the 

 people who held this conference know about your particular interest, 

 then we can be sure you are included. 



A conference for a particular instrument would probably be 

 called by the individual group or bureau who is the most interest- 

 ed in it, and the one who would forge ahead. This might be either 

 a design group or it might be people who had the money and 

 wanted the instrument in a hurry. 



One of the purposes of this conference is to find ways to do 

 this and to find out how many of you might be interested in 

 different aspects of oceanographic instruments. 



THE CHAIRMAN: Someone who remains unnamed mentions that 

 many of the past two days' presentations have contained a paradox, 

 namely, the oceanographer s are severely limited in their work 

 by rough seas -- there certainly has been mention of getting 

 green around the gills. Yet, the emphasis for future shipbuilding 

 is for smaller surface ships of some 1, 500 tons, which will be 

 subject to surface water conditions. Why is not more serious 

 consideration being given to submarine oceanographic ships, for 

 example? This might be a good use for mothballed submarines 

 currently in existence. 



MR. A. C. VINE (WHOI): Submarines are very specialized, and
