Aug. 10, 1973 Harold Edgerton Test of 259 Side Scan from Geodyne EG&G was made last night with help from Jeffery [?] S. Infusario [?]. We used Colleen since my boat has a broken pump. I used a Honda and a power supply for the 24 volt dc supply. Operations seemed ok but the two sides were different. I sued a 50 degree single crystal setup - the top crystal. There was trouble with crimping [?] of the paper. Eventually it caught in the [--?--] and stopped the machine by cutting the paper. I go tomorrow to help Walter Gaudet 648-9866 with some "sea rovers" [local diving club] to find a ship near the north river on the south shore. Plans are set to go to New Berne on Wednesday. Mary Lou will meet me there with Bill. Then we go to Beauport to see John Newton of Duke Uni. An expedition is planned for the Aug 17 week with side scan sonar. [Bill] Sherman and [Gordon P.] Watts [Jr.] will also be there. Aug. 14, 1973 Harold Edgerton All is set for trip to New Berne tomorrow Esther goes with me. Mary Lou, Char., and Bill will meet us there and go to Beauport [?] where John Newton will be ready. I sent 650 pounds of sonar equipment to Raleigh-Durban airport on Monday morning. It was a complete side scan 259 and my 258 system. MONITOR FOUND ON THIS TRIP! [in left margin:] See page 82 for later position of MONITOR Drilling in ELIKI.
