   >>>>>>>Mr. Clark, following Gamow’s book,

   >>>>>>>had a “Research and Development Divi-

   >>>>>>>called “Ammunition and Explosives   
   >>>>>>>(Re2)", and the section had a subsec-   
   >>>>>>>tion called “High Explosives and Propel-   
   >>>>>>>lants (Re2c)."” I was assigned to Re2c.   
   >>>>>>>It had two other reserve officers in it   
   >>>>>>>when I joined, and we divided the work   
   >>>>>>>among ourselves. One became head of   
   >>>>>>>propellant research, I became head of   
   >>>>>>>high explosives research, and the third,   
   >>>>>>>who was a lieutenant j.g., became my   
   >>>>>>>assistant and deputy. I was, on the basis   
   >>>>>>>of my broad experience in the field, ex-   
   >>>>>>>cellently qualified for my assignment. I   
   >>>>>>>knew the names of two high explosives:   
   >>>>>>>TNT and dynamite. With that knowl-   
   >>>>>>>edge, I became head of high explosives   
   >>>>>>>research and development for the world’s   
   >>>>>>>largest Navy!   
   >>>>>>>   
   >>>>>>>But I was young and learned fast;   
   >>>>>>>furthermore, the staff kept on growing as.   
   >>>>>>>the war progressed. I acquired two   
   >>>>>>>groups of civilian scientists; one headed

   >>>>>>>The visit took place on May 16. After   
   >>>>>>>the pleasant preliminaries, I asked Ein-   
   >>>>>>>stein whether he would be willing to be-   
   >>>>>>>come a consultant for the Navy in general,   
   >>>>>>>and for me, in the field of high explo-   
   >>>>>>>sives research, in particular. Einstein was   
   >>>>>>>tremendously pleased about the offer,   
   >>>>>>>and very happily gave his consent. He   
   >>>>>>>felt very bad about being neglected. He   
   >>>>>>>had not been approached by anyone to   
   >>>>>>>do any war work since the United States   
   >>>>>>>entered the war. He said to me, “People   
   >>>>>>>think that I am interested only in theory,   
   >>>>>>>and not in anything practical. This is not   
   >>>>>>>true. I was working in the Patent Office   
   >>>>>>>in Zurich, and I participated in the de-   
   >>>>>>>velopment of many inventions. The gyro-

   >>>>>>>hired.”   
   >>>>>>   
   >>>>>>Here is a short explaination of why they hired Albert Einstein:   
   >>>>>>   
   >>>>>>" Calvert served on the Jack under Lt. Comdr. Tommy Dykers, and here   
   >>>>>>is how he describes his sub’s first experience with the Mark 6   
   >>>>>>exploder: “We worked into an excellent position and fired three   
   >>>>>>torpedoes—the Jack ’s first war shots of her career. Short of the   
   >>>>>>predicted torpedo run time, we heard a tremendous explosion. That   
   >>>>>>should finish him, I thought.   
   >>>>>>   
   >>>>>>“‘ Damn those exploders … damn them all to hell! ’ said Dykers as he   
   >>>>>>looked through the scope.   
   >>>>>>   
   >>>>>>“‘The first torpedo prematured … just before it got to the MOT [middle   
   >>>>>>of the target] … and I don’t know whether the other two passed under   
   >>>>>>without exploding, or missed. Son of a bitch from Baghdad !’ came the   
   >>>>>>bitter exclamation from the skipper.” (Despite continuing torpedo   
   >>>>>>trouble, Jack ’s later forays were considerably more successful.)"

   >>>>>>our high explosives research, I would   
   >>>>>>have to say this. New and more effec-

   >>>>>>ing the war, and they were used by the   
   >>>>>>Navy and the Army (which then included   
   >>>>>>the Air Force) against Germany, Japan   
   >>>>>>and their allies. (I found out later that at   
   >>>>>>least the underwater explosives, possibly   
   >>>>>>others, were also used in the Korean and
