Samuel E. Dorsey

A powered tracking mount for rocket and guided missile photography has been developed at the U.S. Naval Ordnance Test Station, China Lake, Calif., as previously described in this Journal.1 This mount, designated as the M-45 “Gooney-Bird,” has now been further improved through the addition of direction- indicating equipment. The design and development of an electronic illumination control for this direction-indicating and recording system are described in this article.
