They had on board two Novas, a/c and genset as well as explosives locker for storing dynamite charges for the purpose of sounding. I suspect they were responsible for some of the first studies of such technology. They could park and remotely set off a number of charges and record the events and analyze them to some degree on the spot. Sadly no photos I know of. This was at the University of Missouri, Rolla. probably 72 or 73. The frequently would have to trade out the Novas on their truck when there were problems with some in the computer room, which was when one could get a good look at the truck. Jim
