RE: Rad Inst Handles

["Neil, David M" <neildm@id.doe.gov>]

Don't recall seeing a source for commercial ones, but MINSY used to make

their own out of 1/4 X 2" (?) aluminum flat bar to fit a DT-304.



Two holes to match the handle screw holes, and two opposed 45* bends to put

the axis of the handle in line with the center of mass of the probe shield,

and tape the cord to the handle to take the strain.  Simple and effective.  



They also tried a tubing based handle, with the cord down the middle and a

bicycle grip, but it was prone to fatigue cracking at the probe end where it

was flattened to attach to the probe.



A bunch of 105 techs went there to Puget when Mare Island downsized, so ask

around and you may find someone there with direct experience.



Hope this helps

I am looking for a long handle that would fit on a pan cake probe such as

Eberlines HP-210 series pan cake GM detector.  These are typically used for

personnel monitoring and similar tasks.  I have heard that commercial

versions are available and one is a cast single piece unit that includes a

handle at the probe as well as the extension.  I am looking to an extension

that is 18-24 inches long.  I would appreciate private email as to possible

sources of such a handle.
