PROGRESS REPORT FOR MARCH 15, 1946
The projected activities of the Research Laboratory of Electronies of
'the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have been described in a prospectus
of October, 1945c and a shorter pamphlet of December, 1945,
current status report of February l1v 1946,
An interim
served to show to what extent the
prospectus was being followed, and in general the adherence was close.
new projects, which fit
A few
well with the general program have been added; a few
projects have been dropped or held in abeyance because of several reasons:
(1) interested staff members are still busy with other lduties such as writing
for the Radiation Laboratory Office of Publications or teaching at Radar
recent knowledge that a projected research is being well conducted
School, (2)
elsewhere, (3) no senior staff available at present for general guidance and
administration.
This constitutes the first attempt in presenting in some detail the
research program of the Research Laboratory of Electronics, its progress to
March 15, 1946, and the associated shops, searvices and. educational laboratories.
The responsibilities of the Research Laboratory of Electronice may
be enumerated as follows:
(1). The administration of the Basic Research Division of the
Radiation Lab6ratoryo
This divieion was constituted shortly after
V-J Day for the purpose of carrying on at approximately a peacetime
rate the basic research of Radiation Laboratory until a-permanent
agency could take over the support from 0,'S.R.D.

This work, supported
.SoRoD, contract OM4sr-262 (D.I.C.-6377), constitutes about 90%
of the present research program.
A letter of intent from the Signal
Corps indicates that this service, jointly with the Navy OR.I. and
the A.A.F. , will support our basic electronic research program
through 1948-
It Is this activity of the Electronics Laboratory
which will be described in this report.
(2)
The administration of project D.IC-6392, a part of the
contract with-the-- Navy Burea
of Ordnance; No-.- Nrd-966-1, calling-
for the investigation of means of providing radar intelligence and
guidance of a supersonic missile.
This project ie described in
detail elsewhere and will. not be discussed here,

(3)
The establishment of a research facility for the use of
the staff of M. 1, T. who are interested in electronic research.
The establishment of such laboratories as are necessary
(4)
for the general M. I. T. educational program in electronics.
(5)
The training of graduate and undergraduate students in
electronics.
The training of the staff of the Research Laboratory of

Electronics in the techniques of circuits, shop and tube laboratory
to further competence in the field.
The establishment of a facility for
