4) fhe study should include data pertaining to
average densities and density variations.
5) The geographical areas to which the cargo was
shipped should cover all possible climates and seasons of
the year.
6) The cargo under study should, if possible,
represent wartime logistical shipments.
To meet all of the criteria would have resulted in
an endeavor of no small proportions, requiring more time
and facility than was available to the researcher. Therefore,
some limitations had to be placed upon the scope of
the study. Since, as a beginning, basic density averages
appeared to be the most desired by interested parties, the
collection of that type of information was made the primary!
aim.
Generally, with some exceptions, the remainder of
the criteria could be met. Rather than attempt to decide
upon and pick a representative sample, random or selected,
it was decided to tabulate and examine all records available.
Thus there could be no criticism on the point.
Since the cargo had already been shipped, the observations
of experienced personnel at Travis were relied upon greatly
to furnish information as to the nature and type of packag-.
ing. As Travis was not a shipping point to the Arctic
areas, a sample of arctic cargoes was not available. It
may be recalled that the Korean conflict was Just termin-
