Herman Lurie's weekly report for the sugar market. Details include prices, distribution, and sugar tons.

Report discussing the ignition-delay determinations of three organophosphorous fuels with nitric acid oxidants at simulated altitude conditions with a small-scale rocket engine.

Memorandum presenting an investigation made in the 8-foot transonic tunnel of the pressure distribution on a wing-body combination with a 45 degree sweptback wing with aspect ratio 4, taper ratio 0.6, and NACA 65A006 airfoil sections parallel to the plane of symmetry. The chordwise pressure distributions, which were determined at various spanwise stations, indicate that the flow about the two configurations is the same. Results regarding basic pressure measurements and loading and aerodynamic characteristics are provided.

From Introduction: "This report presents the results of an investigation in the NACA Lewis 1- by 1-foot supersonic wind tunnel of two flat-bottomed bodies to determine their aerodynamic characteristics at a Mach number of 3.12."

Report presenting experimental ignition-delay determinations of mixed alkyl thiophosphites, triethyl trithiophsphite, and propylene N,N-dimethylamidophosphite with red and white fuming nitric acid conducted at a range of temperatures and pressure altitudes. The literature pertaining to the use of organo-phosphorous compounds in rocket-propellant combinations was surveyed and summarized with emphasis on ignition-delay investigations.

"The operational characteristics of a J57-P1 turbojet engine have been investigated at altitudes between 15,000 and 66,000 feet in the Lewis altitude wind tunnel. Included in this study is a discussion of fuel nozzle coking, the altitude operating limits with and without the standard engine control, the compressor surge characteristics, and the engine starting and windmilling characteristics. Severe circumferential turbine outlet temperature gradients which occurred at high altitude as a result of fuel nozzle coking were alleviated by the manufacturer's change in the fuel flow divider schedule and in a nozzle gasket material" (p. 1).
