Abstract
In the aerial survey of gamma-emitting radioactive materials, the use of two identical detectors, one trailed vertically below the other, allows automatic computation of the true slope of the signal-to-height curve. Thus immediate automatic correction for relative altitude variations is possible during flight. The computer incorporates a new multiplier system based on frequency pulse-width multiplication.
