Long-range studies of earth disturbances are planned in the U.S., Japan and Russia. Geophysicists will place ultrasensitive instruments deep in the earth. In such studies, tiltmeters will measure shifts in the position of vast subsurface areas, and, ideally, laser devices will be able to measure micro scopic expansion and contraction of bedrock, while strain seismographs monitor the kind of subsurface stress and crust slippage that occurs in fault zones...

Meinke immediately grasped Turner's concept, volunteered to work on it, and was awarded an Air Force contract. Now, after four years of mathematical analysis and laboratory work, he has finally built several prototype models of the mini-antennas that Turner visualized. The simplest of Meinke's devices, which the Air Force calls Subminiature Integrated Antennas (SIA), consists of three stubby, pencil-sized arms, each at tached...
