Technicians and physicists work on plutonium core nuclear device Gadget prior to Trinity nuclear test in New Mexico.
Activities the day before the Trinity nuclear test conducted at Alamogordo in New Mexico during World War II (part of the Manhattan Project). Technicians and physicists work inside a tent erected on the test tower platform in the Jornado del Muerto desert test site. The men perform final arming of the plutonium core nuclear implosion device nicknamed the "Gadget". White duct tape seen in use in places on and in the enclosure; as a adhesive since welding would be prohibitive. They attach the Gadget, the first atomic bomb in history, to a crane hook. Persons seen in the footage include Herbert Lehr and Louis Slotin. Also seen is Robert Oppenheimer at 0:38-0:40 wearing a soft brimmed hat, shirtsleeves rolled up to elbows, and ID badge at center of chest. Oppenheimer is seen again, no longer wearing hat (now holding it in his right hand), in blue collared shirt, standing behind the device from 1:13 to end of clip.
Near the end of World War II in Europe, American artillerymen fire several rounds from a 105mm howitzer
A month before the end of World War 2, in Europe, an American gun crew is seen with 105 mm howitzer set up under a camouflage net at the edge of a field next to a road near Lubbecke (Lübbecke), Germany. The gun crew is from the U.S. 326th Field Artillery Battalion,84th Infantry Division. The crew loads and fires several rounds. After the first round is fired, one crewman rubs the barrel where the name of their gun, "Berlin Bound," is painted. Local homes can be seen around the field. At end, a brief glimpse of the gun from the road, shows that it is set up close to several large German homes.

The mechanism of air borne transmitter is explained in Command Guidance system for the Titan I Missile in the United States.
The operation of the Command Guidance system for the Titan I Missile in the United States. Animation depicts: the electronic loop ties the missile to the ground guidance equipment. Animation depicts the operation of the missile. The missile lifts up under booster power and turns in line with designated target area according to the program. Mechanism of the air borne transmitter which emits radio energy and radar antennas being explained. Change is measured by the code wheels on antenna shaft. Range and missile actual position is also determined. The information is fed into computer system. Actual data is collected and compared with the fed data. The deviations are then calculated. Pitch yaw,steering orders and address codes are sent to missile. The missile borne equipment decode and send back its transformed tracking signals. The booster is separated and motor is ignited. Motor shuts as the desired velocity is attained and the payload is separated. The velocity data is calculated using moving bar charts and the concept of smoothing time being explained. Features incorporated to protect external jamming of the Command Guidance system includes power,antenna pattern,frequency ,code protection and blanking of receiver.
The composition of the Titan I missile operational squadron in Command Guidance system in the United States.
Command Guidance system for the Titan I missile in the United States. The composition of the Titan I missile operational squadron which consists of : three extensive underground launch complexes which are composed of three missile launchers and two antenna silos for the guidance radars. Concrete doors which open before launch. Cylindrical elevator platform lifts up the antennas. The three uplocks locks the position of the antennas. The uninterrupted performance of the antennas is insured by the provision of stand by antennas. During the check out operation the missile borne guided equipment is connected with the missile test set. The test set issues commands,measures performance and check proper response. Animation depicts: the concept of handover technique in which any complex can guide its missile to the alternate complex. The acquisition path is explained using animation.
