From the Mountain. After that first, promising nighttime test, Keyes and his associates decided to try their diode light at longer range. They set up shop on the top of Mount Wachusett, a modest peak (alt. 2,006 ft.) 34 miles from Lincoln Lab. The first long-distance experiments were not successful, mostly because of hastily assembled equipment. After many months of work, an improved transmitter pointed at Lincoln Laboratory from Mount Wachusett. The tiny gallium arsenide diode, only 0.01 in. in diameter, was placed precisely at the focus of a 5-in. reflecting telescope that concentrated its infra...
...night last winter, the entire experiment was ready. The men on Wachusett turned on the diode and reported their action to Lincoln Lab by telephone. Standing on the lab roof, Physicist M. John Hudson pointed a snooperscope toward the mountain and immediately picked out the bright spot of light that marked the glowing diode. By telephone he told the men on the mountain to begin talking into a microphone and modulating the infrared beam. The response came clearly across the cold night air and was picked up by the lab-top receiver. "I'm starting now." Those words...
...varsity golf team yesterday lost a one-sided match to Holy Cross, 5 to 2, at Worcester's Wachusett Country Club. Paul Weissman topped Crusader Bob Larkin, 4 and 3, and Bill Timpson defeated Bob Daly, 5 and 3, for the only Crimson wins...
Last spring, six coach-less clubbers got off to a late start, spent only three weeks on "Operation Fairways," but nevertheless managed to bag a first place in the New England intercollegiate tourney at Wachusett Country Club. Though the boys outstroked Andover, their informal arrangement brought them to defeat in a match with Exeter, when the majority of the team failed to arrive in time...
...factors combined to add several strokes to the scores. One was the weather, which turned the fairways into begs, the other was the fact that Wachusett is 500 yards longer than Oakley, where the eight previous contests were held. For this second reason, it is unfair to compare Mulcahy's score to the previous winning scores...
