Abstract :
On September 1, 1955, the Glenn L. Martin Company received the first section of Telemetering Ground equipment for aircraft operation. (slide) Two months later this equipment was used as a ground source for collecting data from a new model aircraft on its initial flight. Although the company has been using Telemetering as a data collecting medium on missiles for several years, the problems encountered in the ensuing year and a half showed that the Glenn L. Martin Company was rather naive in its approach to telemetering for aircraft.
