Radar Antenna
Design To Speed
Missile Spotting
San Diego, Calif. -(Science
Service) Enemy, missiles may
be detected as far as 3,000
miles from our shores as a
result of a newly-found de
sign principle for radar an
tennas. At the 15,000-mile-per
hour speeds of today's inter
continental ballistic missiles,
this could mean 12 minutes'
warning.
ine principle, known as
TETRAC (TEnsion TRuss An
tenna Concept), is claimed to
offer greater accuracy, high
er rigidity-to-weight ratio and
lower construction and main
tenance cost than convention
al methods. It was developed
by Narmco Industries, Inc.,
here, and will enable engin
eers to build radar antennas
more than 20 stories high.
Extends Rang of Defense
David L. Grimes, president
of Narmco, said TETRAC
"will enable us to extend the
range of our defense radars
so that we can determine the
precise distance, speed and di
rection of missiles better than
3,000 miles away, within min
utes after they are launched."
Essentially, the TETRAC
antenna consists of a series
of concentric compression
rings made of lightweight met
al, plastic, glass fiber or other
sandwich material for opti
mum rigidity at light weight.
These rings hold a giant re
flector made of solid sand
wich or open mesh material,
and are stabilized by pre
stressed radial tension rods
that work on the principle of
giant bicycle spokes.
Close Tolerances
The new design makes pos
sible the fabrication, erection
and operation of radar an
tennas to extremely close tol
erances while maintaining a
highly efficient ratio of
weight to deflection, Narmco
engineers said.
The lighiweight reflectors
can be transported and assem
bled easily and conveniently,
Their psrts are interchange
able.
TETRAC is also expected
to facilitate important advanc
es in space technology, radio
astronomy and the harnessing
of solar energy for practical
use.
Carbon Monoxide
Overcomes Boaters
Portland (UPD Four mem
bers of a boating party were
overcome by carbon monoxide
gas Sunday evening and were
treated at Physicians and Sur
geons hospital here. They were
reported in satisfactory con
dition. They were Edward Thirkell,
63, his wife, Evelyn, 55, Port
land, and Gordon Hanson, 64,
and his wife, Kathleen, 56,
Forest Grove.
Sheriff's deputies said the
foursome became ill from the
gas while cruising and head
ed for the dock: .
