VEHICLE RECOGNITION<br />
A second close-up <strong>of</strong> <strong>Saturn</strong> containing surprisingly important<br />
information is the frontispiece, reprinted as Plate 30. Plate 30 reveals<br />
salient features <strong>of</strong> an operational electromagnetic vehicle. A component,<br />
(1), is identifiable readily as the nose orifice. Extending from<br />
below the orifice is a long, tightly twisted tongue, (2) The top<br />
longitudinal-pr<strong>of</strong>ile body element, (3), is perceptible for a short<br />
distance aft <strong>of</strong> the nose. Location <strong>of</strong> the bottom longitudinal-pr<strong>of</strong>ile<br />
body element is obscured inasmuch as a solid band <strong>of</strong> under-body<br />
emissions, (4), exhausts where this element otherwise would appear.<br />
The distance between these two locations establishes an approximate<br />
body diameter, (5), and permits estimation <strong>of</strong> trailing-end location.<br />
