ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION 



Work was performed under Problem L40461, SR 004 04 01, 

 Task 0580 by members of the Marine Environment Division. 

 This report covers the period June 1955 through December 1965. 



Acknowledgment is made to a large number of devoted 

 engineers and scientists who have made the tower a great success. 

 The original structure and instrumentation were formulated 

 mainly by A. L. Nelson and W. H. Armstrong. Special contribu- 

 tions to the installation and equipment were made by L.C. Thompson, 

 D. A. Baldwin, W.C. McSparron, J. M. Prince, R. F. Kimball and 

 J. V. Pflaum. 



Since 1962, D. E. Good has assumed responsibility for the 

 tower and has expanded equipments and facilities. He has been 

 assisted by P. A. Hanson, D. L. Jackson and K. E. Titland. Able 

 assistance is also acknowledged of marine services personnel, 

 including H. G. Kiner, G. B. Ryan, L. L. Jones, H. E. Sprekelmeyer, 

 A.M. Huehn, andC.T. Bell. The scientific divers J. A. Beagles, 

 J. R. Houchen, and W.J. Bunton have been most helpful for under- 

 water installations and repairs, and have developed new equip- 

 ments and techniques for underwater operations. 



The NEL Operations Officer and the personnel boat crew 

 have provided transportation to the tower. 



A large part of the research reported here was the work of 

 the following scientists: J. R. Olson, P.G. Hansen, E.G. Barham, 

 R.F. Dill, J. C. Thompson, R.K. Logan, F. Watenpaugh, H. L. 

 Heibeck, D. G. Moore, N. Malley, T. Abe (Tokyo, Japan), 

 H. De Lauze (Marseilles, France), and J. Armstrong (Plymouth, 

 England). The work of these and many others is listed in the 

 Bibliography at the end of this report. 



I am also indebted to G. H. Curl, O. S. Lee, D. E. Good, 

 E.G. Barham, A. L. Nelson, and K. G. LaFond for reviewing this 

 report.
