Around midmoming Fermi began the crucial experiment. First he ordered all but the last cadmium rod removed and checked to see if the neutron intensity matched the measurement Anderson had made the night before. With that first comparison Volney Wilson s team working on the balcony took time to adjust its monitors. Fermi had calculated in advance the intensity he expected the pile to reach at each step of the way as George Weil withdrew the last thirteen-foot cadmium rod by measured increments. 

It was the job of George Weil to remove the rods. Weil was a young scientist who worked under Fermi at Columbia. Weil and the other participants spent much of the day conducting preliminary tests of the equipment. All went well, and at 3 25 p.m. Fermi gave the order to withdraw the first cadmium rod. feil withdrew the rod slowly, moving the rod just 6 inches (15 cm) at a time. With every pull, the Geiger...
