The sample material received (Analytical Branch #7-814) was cylindrical ~dth indication t ha t the inside ha d b0en subjected to immense heat. 2 . Spectrographic analysis of t he outside material and the fused c enter did not det~ct any significant element a l differences other than c opper . A sample taken near the center contained a pprox:i.Jyl.a tely 0 .1% copper 1trhilc the copper content of the outside material was approxiw.at8l y 0.005%.
