Coupers
   I recently by accident got some actual footage of the August 1941 JATO
tests conducted by the California Institute of Technology at March Field
for
the AAF.  I did not know that this was scheduled to be on the History
Channel
Classroom or I would have copied it on the 2 hour speed.  Instead I had it
set
for 6 hours and it would be a little better if I had set it on 2 hours. It
was
called: "Rockets - First Step to the Stars".  The Ercoupe segment only
lasted
48 seconds so it is short and sweet but I was very glad to get that much.
I
could put this on a Floppy disk if I knew how but I can barely e-mail so I
used my Snappy and got 11 pictures from the 48 seconds.  I am going to try
and
send them all at once and if it doesn't work I will try something else.
Even
though it is now called RATO for Rocket Assisted Take Off, It was 1st
called
JATO.
