An apparatus for attaching a pad eye to an underwater ship includes explosives connected to the wings of the pad eye to explosively weld it to the hull of the ship. A water-tight housing holds the pad eye and allows gas to be introduced to drive away all water. Magnets hold the housing to the hull before detonation, a window in the top of the housing allows the diver to observe the entrance of the gas.

Apparatus for attaching an underwater explosive pad eye

A device for simulating the firing of an automatic weapon by firing bullets oth singularly and in bursts. A timing source provides electrical impulses which are randomly spaced in time and also provides pulses which are closely spaced to represent bursts. The bullets are fired by primers which are programmed by the timing source.

Automatic weapon simulator

A test assembly for measuring compressive loading under actual field condons having a standard Strainsert stud strain transducer attached at each end to a piston-like member and mounted within a tubular housing. By mounting one piston-like member to a support shaft and the other piston-like member to the object supported, compressive loads, such as from the wind, can be accurately measured.
