Innovative new British vehicles move on land, water, and snow; the "Stalwart" and the "Gadabout" are shown.

The British unveil a vehicle called the Stalwart that can navigate the toughest terrain as well as move in water. The vehicle is a huge six wheel drive military transport with individually sprung drive wheels to give it traction in all situations. It is for military or farm use. The vehicle is shown moving on varied terrain areas with ease. It moves in deep water operating like a partially submerged boat and then boards a ship at sea by floating up to its opened ramp and driving up onto the ship. Showing another British vehicle innovation, men stand near a "Gadabout" car in a snow covered area. It has twin engines -- a motor in the front and the rear. Each engine has an independent gear lever. Driver is shown engaging 2nd gear lever to use additional engine in helping it move in the snow.

Construction begins on the Jicamarca Observatory site for the Scatter Radar antenna as staff families settle down in Peru.

Space research from the ground with a Scatter Radar. Scientists outside the Instituto Geofisico Del Peru, scientific research organization of the Peruvian government. A train of the Ferrocarril Central Andino (FCCA) on its way to the Institute's observatory. It travels through the Rimac Valley in the Andes, including Ticlio at nearly 16,000 feet. It is the highest elevation railway junction in the world. View of a snow-covered mountain (possibly Yuraqqucha on border of the Lima and Junín regions). Llama graze and move about high up in the mountains. Huancayo (Wankayu) Village: Local Quechuan Indians trade in the weekly market. Shops in the street, street vendors with their goods.

Rocks on the arid coast. Green vegetable fields and broad flat plane in the arid valley. The site for the antenna. Bulldozers prepare the site for construction. A diversion dam constructed on the site. Gully in the valley floor. Peruvian workers lay wire to sound an alarm in case a mudflow should come. Men mark ground and align places for post holes, lay wood posts to support the antenna dipole. They assemble inserts, connect the antenna, and lay bricks. The workers collect their pay.

Local Peruvians with technical skills are trained in class. A technician inspects the Observatory transformers. Men make final wiring check in the Condenser Bank. Two men work on an amplifier in the Amplifier Room. Technicians work at pumps and heat exchangers for the water purification and cooling system. Men work with blowers that circulate cool air throughout passage ways in tunnels. Cables and piping in the tunnels. Scientists direct transmitter energy into the antenna. They monitor every function of the operation. Coaxial aluminum piping conducts transmitted and received radio signals through a spark gap and mixer. A man operates the system outside. Energy for the radio signals flows through coaxial piping in trenches. Dipoles in a modular section of the antenna to probe the upper atmosphere in order to measure electron densities. Open wire lines connect two rows of elements. Dr. Kenneth Bowles conducts scientific observation in the Screen Room. He measures the electron density with a transmitter, holds a record of the trace of electron densities. Electron density observations on a monitor. Antenna at the Observatory, hills in the background. A globe rotates.
