described, along with data collection and analysis procedures and data 

 results. The instruments were interfaced with the primary data acquisition 

 system, a Digital Equipment Corporation (Maynard, MA) VAX-1 1/750 

 minicomputer until June 1994 when it was replaced with a Digital 

 Equipment Corporation VAXstation 4000 located in the FRF laboratory 

 building. More detailed explanations of the design and the operation of the 

 instruments may be found in Miller (1980). Readers' comments on the 

 format and usefulness of the data presented are encouraged.
