Analysis of the data from the Hydride I and Hydride II experiments of the Upshot program was completed and a report was compiled. The mechanical analogue was used in a study of a proposed design for the photocathode and initial focus portion of a photomultiplier tube. Preliminary engineering and testing of portions of a plastic phosphor facility for support of the Castle program have been accomplished. Procurement of the requisite equipment and materiel is underway.
