it complete.
Last evening as Arnold went on the
air for the first time. The equipment
is working well, far better than we
had expected. An operator in [illegible]
was contacted who informed me that
Archbold with the Cuba was leaving
the US in 35 mins. This information
was received from another radio operator
in San Diego. I hope more information
will come through this evening. A
call was sent to Archbold this
morning by Floyd stating that it would
be two weeks before we would have the
ramps complete.
June 3, Hollandia New Guinea.
Began a small building today to house
the photographic equipment. It is to be
a stud-lie building with a peaked roof, one
full story well set the half walls. Size
is approximately 30 x 30 ft X 300 M. It is located
before the wood house and the new Guinea
building being built near adjoining Schreder's
building on the north.
The ramp is moving on rapidly
considering that work is limited to few tools.
The floor is in the new European store
and judging from the set that it is
progressing it will be completed in two
days.
Harold has been working at the
radio all day today. Last evening it
was confirmed by the Archbold radio operator
that Archbold was leaving on this for
New Guinea. I think is too soon.
