Excerpt from Nbs Interagency Transducer ProjectThis work was undertaken by nbs because the development of new and improved measurement techniques, both as applied to the measurement of transducer performance and to the development of improved transducers, fall within nbs' central continuing mission of providing national leader ship in the development and use of accurate and uniform techniques ofphysical measurement. At the same time, the ongoing program of nbs on measurement, calibration, and instrument development, particularly of such quantities as force, strain, temperature, mass, acceleration, pres~ sure, etc. Provides knowledge, experience, and facilities complementary to the telemetering transducer project. This expertise has contributed directly in the development of some of the techniques used and developed by this project.The first performance test report resulting from this project was issued in March 1952. Beginning in 1953 the Ballistic Research Labora tories, Aberdeen Proving Ground, U. S. Army joined the Bureau of Aero nautics in providing project support. In 1955, White Sands Proving Ground took over from the Ballistic Research Laboratories its share of project support. It became a Tri Service project in 1956, when the Wright Air Development Center, U. S. Air Force added its support. This arrange ment continued until 1963, when the National Aeronautics and Space Administration joined as a sponsor. Shortly after that, however, the Army (white Sands Proving Ground) discontinued its support. Since then sponsorship has been retained by the three remaining organizations, U. 8. Navy (naval Air Systems Command), U. S. Air Force (electronic Systems Division), and nasa (office of Advanced Research and Technology).About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
