AUTOMOBILE SHOW. This photograph was 

 taken by an airplane located approximately as far 

 away as were the principal vessels of the support- 

 ing fleet. Principal command, laboratory, and ob- 

 server ships were I to 12 miles from the detona- 

 tion point. Each ship circled slowly in a prede- 



termined zone. Zones were named for automobiles, 

 for example, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Ford, Chalmers. 

 The majority of the scientists kept their eyes to 

 their binoculars. Some stood watch over special 

 apparatus. Thin white lines, explosion-generated 

 //aves breaking on the reefs, could be seen.
