Description: Instrument rack for shot Julin Divider, the last US nuclear test. The warhead would be mounted below the rack and lowered into the firing hole. During detonation, the instrumentation would gather useful data about how the warhead detonates and transmit it to the surface, then the rack is destroyed by the blast.
