NRL was one of my favorite customers in the early sixties when I sold for Tektronix in the D.C. area. Very fine group of dedicated people on all levels. Competent, courteous, and capable. The massive sewerage treatment plant joining NRL to the south, put out significant sulfurous fumes which reacted with the silver solder on the then ceramic mounting strips we used. This reaction resulted in silver migration resulting in significant damage to the instruments we built. When I left that area they were going all out trying to solve the mystery of the Thresher submarine incident.
Thanks, Galz, for the road trip to DC. I have been a couple of times
and have never seen all the stuff I want to. Maybe another time....
News these days is sheer punishment. I don’t even bother to watch it! Reading it is bad enough...I can’t stand to see those on TV ‘reading’ it to the people and sit there and spin it!
OMGosh....it rained last night so the humidity was way up along with the temps of course.
Yea....it was icky & sticky!
One part of the valley experienced a microburst & had many down powerlines. A good time to sleep in the car w/the A/C running! LOL
Amen, and thanks, Rus, for our beautiful lesson from God’s Word!
Evening, Kathy. Weather turning cold yet?
Yes, The summer slump is almost over, Thank God!
Welcome to the Canteen, B-Cause. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
NRL was my first job out of college in the mid 60s. Among other things, I spent some time traveling on their EC 121: http://www.vpnavy.com/ec/nrlec121_01_26jul2003.jpg and had a January cruise to the Bermuda Triangle on the USNS Mizar http://patriot.net/~eastlnd2/Mizar.htm
One of my friends there was part of the search for the Thresher and was to be on the crew to hunt for the H bomb off of Spain. I had gone to the dispensary to get some shots for foreign travel while in the waiting room heard him talking to the medics. As I recall, the question was concerning reactions to sho ts. The friend said something about a minor reaction to a typhoid shot when he was in the Air Force. “OK, we will give you half a shot today and the other half next week.” All of a sudden there was a pot full of excitement and they hauled him away in the Navy ambulance they had sitting there. He had an allergic reaction to the shot and his blood pressure went to 0. I learned later that they gave him an Adrenalin shot in the heart to get him going again. Turned out that the Navy enlistees driving the ambulance did not know the way to the hospital and the patient had to give them directions.
During my discussion with the medical people, I mentioned that I knew their previous customer. They then gave me the assignment to call the family, which I then did. My shots were rather uneventful.
The job there was interesting, but the presence of the DC sewage plant next door and the population congestion was too much for this country boy.
