Index. DJ has slight wear and soiling. APL was created in 1942 during World War II under the Office of Scientific Research and Development. The Laboratory succeeded in developing the variable-time proximity fuze that played a significant role in the Allied victory. In response to the fuze's success, the APL created the MK 57 gun director in 1944. APL became heavily involved in the development of guided missile technology for the Navy. APL's major strengths are systems engineering and technology application. APL conducts programs in fundamental and applied research; exploratory and advanced development; test and evaluation; and systems engineering and integration. In 1965, the US Army contracted with APL to develop and implement a test and evaluation program for the Pershing missile systems. APL identified problem areas and improved the performance and survivability of the Pershing systems. Helen E. Worth directed the APL Office of Communications and Public Affairs. She conducted interviews, was a writer for, and managed the creation of Transit to Tomorrow. Mame Warren was at the time of this publication the director of Hopkins History Enterprises, based in Johns Hopkins Universities Sheridan Libraries.
