The following report studies a rare-earth deposit in the Scrub Oaks iron mine, Morris County, New Jersey, that was mapped and sampled in the 1955.

Abstract: "The NYX testing of the component disassembly equipment comprised repeated operation of both the quatrefoil disassembly machine and the foil press and shear to evaluate the suitability of these machines to perform their design function with reliability and convenience of operation. During testing, both design and operational deficiencies were found and corrected in the NYX equipment. In general, both machines operated satisfactorily after modification."
