Yes, I remember William Woolard talking about this in one of the episodes of "The Secret War" BBC series.

And the S27 [or is it a S36-front-panel on a S27? there was much expediency-based parts-and-assemblies interchange during WWII] was used as part of the instrumentation-test frame for the first nuclear bomb.
