Show ; O.N TARGET A Golden Kniglit parachutist floats clown to his target, a 6-inch disc, after a freefall from an. altitude of 13,500 feet . at Lincoln, California. The Golden Knights, the U. S. Army's parachute team, participated in competitions at Lincoln where they made a series of day and night jumps. During the meet, the team set 60 new world records which, when certified, will give the United States a total of 93 marks, 73 of the total possible. 90 of these were set by the Golden Knights. In addition to providing a nucleus of highly skilled free-fall free-fall parachutists for participation participa-tion in demonstrations and international competitions, the team conducts research and development on military aspects of freefall parachuting. UNDERGROUND FACTORY for making pre-cision pre-cision instruments, in use by the Brunson Instrument Instru-ment Co. of Kansas City, Mo, since 1960, affords protection against fallout and all but a direct nuclear hit. The plant, built within a limestone bluff, also virtually eliminates vibration, dust and noise which are hazards to instrument making. The firm has stocked the plant to shelter up to 3,340 persons from fallout after a nuclear attack. It could be modified to shelter up to 7,000 persons. |
