The aircraft was specially instrumented for photographing Cloud activity from above and for measuring electric Field disturb ances. One of the techniques involve the simple visual observation from above of rapid change in the circulation systems associated wit Large thunderhead. The other involves a distinct pattern of electric Field disturb ances associated with development of vortex circulation. Of special significance was the observed development at urge what Pool circulations just Down wind of a giant thunderstorm. U u this circulation which seems to portend the birth of tornadoes. Least one third greater than an existing today. They Are working especially with fibres spun from chemical substance known As poly propylene which Are Light flexible and very Strong. Theoretically according to a Prog Ress report lust issued it is pos sible to produce fibres and fabrics Many times stronger if it were not for flaws in in Structure which result in uneven loading of All molecules in a fiber Cross Section. Fibres with different degrees and other characteristics Are being spun from the poly propylene and the effects of each change in strength determined.
