The big plane is) eduled to arrive here within the ext few days to make experi- ‘mental landings on the Juneau “Ice | Cay.” Men and equipment will be flown in to continue their seismic study in glacier ice thickness. Dr. Thomas C. roulter,: associ-! ate director, Stanforq Research In- | stitute, pioneer in the field of iseismic research, heads the group which has been using the “Poulter Method” in probing for secrets of ithe advancing Taku Glacier. ‘ Dynamite, metal stakes, a seismic camera and instruments called ‘geophones, are part of the equip- ment used in making findings on how deep is the great Taku ice i flow. | ‘Maximum thickness of ice about two miles up from the glacier ‘front was discovered to be 1,100 ifeet, according to Dr. Poulter, who | ladded that at some points the ?ghcler ice was only slightly more 'than 400 feet. Explaining the method used in |determining the ice thickness, Dr.. ‘Poulter said that a small charge {of dynamite was attached .to a 'metal stake extending several feet above the ice. Geophones were placed around the stake to pick up ithe sound waves sent down by the 'blast of the dynamite charge. A selsmic camera made a record of ithe sound waves on bromide paper, !which upon development in a port- ble darkroom gave the story for interpretation by the seismologists. The method, which was perfected by Dr. Poulter and the Stanford Research Instiute is now in gen- | feral usage in oil field operations ' he said. It has been accepted by ime Institute of Inventive Research. 29 PASSENGERS ON PAA MON.
