Project 5392. Request “To Develop Technical and Processing Information on four Elinvar Extra 30 pound ingots, vacuummelted at R.C.A., Harrison, NJ.” Outside customers indicated a large demand for Elinvar Extra wire and strip. Arrangements were made to vacuum-melt the metal and to make tests on the results. On March 15 a test was conducted. There were some problems. Monthly reports were made. 4 Mar. 1955.

Machines needed, capacities and tolerances are discussed. In May 1956 the first Hamilton battery-operated clock Model 1X-9 Ser #1 was sent to Chief, Bureau of Ships, Washington, DC, for evaluation. Operating instruction sheet (tentative) June 8, 1956. Final Report Project 5394 showed cost at $3.90 plus estimated tooling cost of $51,500. Plastic clock cases reviewed. 19 Sep. 1956.
