To Inyokern Building 982 preVIously was used as the Public Works Department's transportation maintenance fac- ility. The move into it by Engin- eering and Contract Division per- sonnel was made necessary when it was decided to shift the Tech- nical Library from Michelson Laboratory to Building 37, a two- story barracks-like structure located on Blandy Ave. and Hussey Rd. Relocating the Technical lib- rary will free much-needed space for laboratory functions at Mich- elson Lab and is part of a series of changes brought about by the move to China Lake of employees and projects formerly assigned to NWC's Corona Annex. All of the design and construction work connected with the remod- eting of Building 982 has been acCOOlPlished within the Public Works Department, Sorbo stated. "We have experimented with a lightweightceiling that negates the requirement for a second fire protection system, and bave utilized the building's lights as a primary heating system," Sorbo continued. SiIty per cent of the beat for the building will be gained from the lights, which will be left on around the clock during the winter season, One daily round trip flight, Monday through Friday, by the Hughes Air West airline from Los Angeles International Airport to the Kern County airport at Inyokern and back, is scheduled to be resumed on Monday, March 13. According to infonnation rec- eived at the Joint AIr Military Traffic Office (JAMTO), Air West will have an employee on the job at Inyokern starting this Monday, and serice (halted by a strike in mid-December) will be resumed a week later. The schedule of operations calls for a northbound flight (No. 4(6) to leave L.A. International at 3:30 p.m. and arrive at Inyokern airport at 4:33 p.m. The return flight (No. 5(7) will leave Inyokern at 4:45 p.m. and arrive in Los Angeles at 5:45. Both the north and southbound flights will make brief stops at Palmdale. How much longer Air West will provide this weekday service between Los Angeles and Inyokern is uncertain. On Feb. 18 the air line filed a brief with the Civil Aeronautics Board stating that it does not desire to prosecute the application for renewal of its authority to serve Inyokern airport.

Workmen for the Cardan Co. of Los Angeles, successful bidder on the $1,455,600 project, have placed concrete for the basement floor and walls, as well as for a portion of the main floor of the single-story building that will provide an additional 25,000 sq. ft. of floor space for NWC's technical facil- ities. As of last week, concrete also had been placed for a fourth of the building's tilt-up walls. At the same time, work is progressing on the installation of underground utilities, including plwnbing work, electric power lines and telephone connections. Estimated completion date of the Systems Analysis and Computer Laboratory is next December. It will house the Univac computer as well as peripheral equipment and related scientific data computation and reduction functions. In addition, analog computers and simulation equipment will be moved to the new building from (Continued on Page 3) CONSTRUCTION WORK PROGRESSES-Workmen ore busily engaged these cloys on the construction of an addition to Michelson Laboratory.

Mills Mine Fire Brings Call for Aid - By Ground Search, Rescue Team Training in the use of seif- contained breathing apparatus, which several members of the Indian Wells Valley Ground Search and Rescue Team received on Thursday of last week at the Naval Weapons Center, may be put into use as early as tomorrow. That's the word from Gary Peek, lieutenant in charge d. under- ground search and rescue oper- ations, who was one of three mem- bers of the local ground rescue team to be called out last Saturday to inspect an abandoned mine shaft in wfucb a fire has broken out. The mine is located along the northern tip of Piute Mt., in the vicinity of Weldon. At the time that Peek, Fred Camphausen and Sam Wyatt had a chance to look over the old mine, a fire far down in the 100-ft.-deep shaft had been smouldering for three days. The latest word (at mid-week) was that smoke was continuing to emerge periodically from the mine shaft, despite the fact that 60,000 gallons of high expansive foam had been pwnped into the mine in an effort to snuff out the fire. "If the Sheriff's Department wants us to, we'll send men down to check it out," Peek said in reference what may be coming up tomorrow. A report regarding the mine shaft fire and the possible need for volunteers from the IWV Ground Search and Rescue Team to have a look at it was received here last Friday, just a day after eight members underwent instruction given by two men from the U.S. Bureau of Mines in the use of a new kind of seif-
