PLACE" Lert OFF! and Sunday morning you face up to it At 20 Below Zero ISACHSEN, N.W.T. (CP)-- You may not have thought so, but you can fix a broken varian rubidium vapor magnetometer with an old ballpoint pen. When Dr. W. N. English of Vancouver did it, the tempera- ture was 20 below zero and he was about 600 miles from the North Pole. He is the deputy su- perintendent of the defence de- partment's Pacific Naval Lab- oratory at Esquimalt, B.C., and since March he has been work- ing with the Canadian Polar Continental Shelf Project at Isachsen on Ellef Ringnes Is- land, some 2,200 miles north of Winnipeg. What is a varian rubidium vapor magnetometer anyway? It's an experimental machine for studying the earth's mag- netic field and the one Dr. Eng- lish is using is the only one in North America near the north magnetic pole. The magnetic pole, once thought to be a point in the Arctic Archipelago, has been shown by recent investiga- tions to extend across the polar basin passing close to Isachsen and terminating in the Taimyr peninsula in Siberia. PEN WAS BENT The machine charts the mag- netic field with a tiny drawing pen on a moving roll of graph paper. During the flight north, the pen was bent and eventu- ally stopped marking altogether. Dr. English found that if he held his mouth just right, he could "fix the 50-cent end of our $10,000 instrument" by replacing the drawing pen with a ball point pen refill. The makeshift kept the chart rolling during the three weeks before a re- placement could be flown in. Much of the story of Canada's most northerly research project is the story of man's ingenuity in continuing work despite breakdowns or shortages. Ellef Ringnes is surrounded by un- navigable pack ice the year round and supplies cannot be taken there over water even by icebreaker. The RCAF Trans- port Command flies supplies to Isachsen from Resolute, on Cornwallis Island, the most northerly shipping port, and from farther south 'but these supply missions last only a few days in spring and fall Anything needed between these missions can be flown in by chartered aircraft providing it is not too heavy but because of the small number of aircraft chartered, the distance involved and the vagaries of the weather, delivery may take as long as a month. TIME IS PRECIOUS Since the project operates) only through the continuous day- light months of March to Sep- tember, a month is too much to lose.
