Arsenals planning

Other special bombs were needed to blow up dams on the Dnieper River in Russia and thus immobilize 600,000 Germans. The Arsenal planned the bombs, made them and shipped them. They did the job...

In response to the challenges listed above, PMACWA devised a test plan to address these issues. This EDS testing began in December 2000, and the tests were completed at the end of March 2001. The U.S. Army Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) at Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey, was responsible for coordinating the program.

Always the optimist, I did not allow myself to dwell on shortfalls. In 1990, I received another phone call, this time from Washington, DC. The caller asked whether I would take part in a TV interview. As usual, I was ready to cooperate. He told me that Michael Bilton, producer of a British monthly documentary program called First Thursday, was planning to make an hour-long special about the Edgewood Arsenal research and he wanted my views represented. He might come to Woodland Hills from England to discuss it with me. 

In September 1955, the Commander of the Edgewood Arsenal Medical Laboratories formally requested permission to use volunteers in research involving nonlethal psychochemicals. This was largely a result of the Wolff Committee s final report, which included a detailed plan for field experiments involving small units.

A simple grenade which will generate either cyanide or arsenical smoke can easily be made from common materials. This device is very effective in enclosed j spaces, but poses a serious fire risk, as it operates at high temperatures. Depending on the planned use, this may not be a problem. 

Mr L.H. Eriksen, Feltman Research Laboratories Director, Picatinny Arsenal, has authorized approved this project. It is thru his interest, encouragement guidance that this publication is possible. The support of this project by Dr J.V.R. Kaufman, US Army Material Command Deputy Director for Plans, AMCRD, is also gratefully acknowledged. This Encyclopedia was prepared by scientists assigned to the Explosives Laboratory of FRL, Dr R.F. Walker, Chief. All reference works used, such as reports, periodicals, journal books, were made available thru the cooperation of the Scientific Technical Information Branch personnel,... 

At Picatinny Arsenal there are at present (Nov 1968), two digital and one analog computers. A new "hybrid computer (which comprises both digital and analog features) is planned to be installed in December 1968... 

Electronic Time Fuze. Development of an electronic time fuze which would be substantially more accurate than exisitng time fuzes is described in the report of Texas Instruments, Inc (Ref). A programmable digital circuit is driven by. an oscillator based on a Picatinny Arsenal design. As power source, two types of battery, a silver-zinc primary battery and a reserve battery which uses ammonia as the electrolyte, were tried. A detailed manufacturing plan is included as an appendix... 

Several of the originally planned chapters, on comparison of silicon compounds with their higher group 14 congeners, interplay between theory and experiment in organisilicon chemistry, silyl radicals, recent advances in the chemistry of silicon-phosphorous,-arsenic,-antimony and -bismuth compounds, and the chemistry of poly silanes, regrettably did not materialize. We hope to include these important chapters in a future complementary volume. The current pace of research in silicon chemistry will certainly soon require the publication of an additional updated volume.

SORB33 A process for removing arsenic from public water supplies by adsorption on granular ferric oxide. The adsorbent is Bayoxide 33, a proprietary product made by Bayer. Developed by Bayer and Severn Trent PLC and first demonstrated at the Burton Joyce waterworks in Nottingham, UK. In 2004, the process was in use at 15 plants in the UK and planned for use in 6 demonstration plants in the United States. 

While many of the poisons used at this time were of plant origin, arsenic compounds were also known and used. For example, Claudius and his natural son Britannicus were assassinated by Agrippina using arsenic. A devious plan was adopted after an earlier poisoning attempt had failed to kiU Britannicus, but had made him iU instead. Suspicion having been aroused, a taster for the food was employed. In order to circumvent this, very hot soup (which had already been tested by the taster) was served to Britannicus while the arsenic was added to the water supplied to cool the soup.
