combination of scientific
equipment, fabricated dr
vices and his own ingenuity,
O’Toole devised a method of
simultaneously measuring the
velocity of a bullet elec
tronically and its rotation
photographically as it sped
down the 100 foot range he
had constructed.

When needed, guidance and
suggestions were provided by
Dr. David E. Wetmore, St.
Andrews chemistry professor,
who has a recreational in

my days.
llie project focused on the
variation of the rate of
rotation with different linear
velocities of a bullet, which
were obtained by using
bullets of different loads.

ce division at St. Andrews and
member of the North Carolina
Academy of Science, helped
to at range for the presenta
tion of this paper, Afterwards
he observed, "This has been
O’Toole's project from begin
ning to end. He has done a
fine job of taking the
available resources and
molding them into a system
which would generate the
data he needed.
As for O’Toole him.self, he is
already considering new ex
perimental techniques which
can be used to improve the'
values he has already ob
tained.
In outlining his plans to the
board, McDonald promised to
make every effort to cast In
dians in Indian roles, whites in
white roles, and blacks in
black roles.
“You have an educated tri-
racial population quite
capable of handling major
roles,”he added.
