Idea of Detrick Men Saves Taxpayers Money
Fort Detrick workers in the Munitions Development Division saved taxpayers money by using surplus rockets for bomb testing at Edgewood Arsenal. The method cost 3,4 compared with 24,897 for air tests at Yuma, a saving of about 21,000 dollars. Additional savings came from improved storage methods and streamlined contractor reporting, totaling tens of thousands in annual reductions.
