One of the many test labs, Ogden Technology, Fullerton Calif, I worked at. Here we were doing several types if testing. Picture 1, outside lab where we did destruction testing, and acceleration tests. Picture 2, Fuel tank testing for extreme high altitude craft, no the cigarette was not lit!. Picture 3, was lunar atmosphere, and temperature simulation. Picture 4, analytical lab, Picture 5 explosion testing on wiring obtained from remains of Apollo 1, which killed Virgil Grisson, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee. This bird was called CM1-012, by North American Aviation, and was to fly Mission AS-204 by NASA (NEVER A STRAIGHT ANSWER). I worked on this ship and predicted a fire on one of these birds, as we were experiencing wiring problems from under qualified assemblers. I was fired a year earlier for informing NASA, our customer of N.A.A. I had done some favors for the United Auto Workers, a year previous to that 1965, under the Guidance of Hank Lucao, Paul Schrade and Walther Reuther, then President of the UAW. Hank was Director of local group 887. Paul Schrade, my immediate superior, was shot with Presidential Candidate Robert Kennedy at the Ambassador hotel in Los Angeles on June 5, 1968. Just previous to that shooting, I had been offered a position in Washington D.C. by Walter Reuther, President of UAW. I declined at went on to NASA instead. I had previously done some favors for Schrade and Reuther, by organizing engineers into the Union and effecting the contracts between N.A.A. and The United Auto Workers of America. These contracts affected 20,000 UAW workers. When I was fired for being truthful, the UAW went to bat for me in Washington and a year later, just after the disaster, I was reinstated back into N.A.A. with a promotion. I received a full years back pay and resigned the next day to later on form my own Company, known world wide as Scopes Unlimited. Immediately following I went to Ogden Technology to help sort out the 1,407 wiring problems found in the ill fated CM1 (Apollo 1). More on this on my Health Energy Science program and Brad Steiger's book "The Promise". |
