An investigation has been made at Mach numbers of 1.61 and 2.01 and Reynolds numbers from 1.7 X 10 to 7.6 X 10 to determine the pressure distributions over a 60 deg. delta wing having 20 different control configurations. Measurements were made at angles of attack from 0 deg to 15 deg for control deflections from -30 deg to 30 deg. This report presents the complete tabulated pressure data for the range of test conditions.

Memorandum presenting an investigation conducted to determine the feasibility of increasing the tip-section blade-element efficiency of a transonic rotor by reducing the blade loading for a given design inlet relative Mach number. This report primarily discusses the overall and blade-element performances of the modified rotor and compares them with the performance of the original rotor.

From Summary: "Data were obtained with five exhaust-nozzle areas and with the variable-area exhaust nozzle interlinked with the control system at conditions simulating flight at a Mach number of 0.8 and altitudes of 35,00 and 45,000 feet. Data simulating operation at zero flight Mach number at an altitude of 15,000 feet are also included. Engine component performance data are presented in addition to the overall engine performance."

"An investigation has been made at Mach numbers of 1.61 and 2.01 and Reynolds numbers from 1.7 x 10(exp 6) to 7.6 x 10(exp 6) to determine the pressure distributions over a 60 degree delta wing having 20 different control configurations. Measurements were made at angles of attack from 0 to 15 degrees for control deflections from -30 to 30 degrees. This report presents the complete tabulated pressure data for the range of test conditions" (p. 1).

From Introduction: "The general objective of this report is a study of the characteristics of the described form of peak holding control. The control has not yet been used in experimental turbojet-engine study.This study is concerned with only one method of extracting the maximum amount of information from a peak output for the purpose of maintaining that peak. The criteria sought in this control process are: maintenance of peak average output, minimum duration of time in undesirable operation, quickness in response to command to reach peak condition, least amount of excursion in the undesirable region, and type of stability."

Memorandum presenting a modified group method used to calculate the reactivity of the uranyl-fluoride-water experimental critical assemblies which are part of the Oak Ridge critical mass studies. The method relates the experimental slowing-down length for water to that in fluoride solutions and includes the effects of epithermal absorption and fission.

Summarizing the Observations, interpretations, and recommendations of the Authors who were assigned for a two month period to cooperate with the Colombian government in an evaluation of their uranium exploration program.

Highly radioactive materials have to be examined behind massive shielding to protect personnel from the intense beta and gamma fields. Experience has shown that much maintenance time can be saved by mounting equipment to cell plugs so that a single machine can be removed without the necessity of shutting down the entire cell operation. Metallographic specimen preparation and photography have been reduced to an entirely remotized procedure. Various etchants have been tried and cathodic vacuum etching has proved more satisfactory than chemical procedures. Cathodically vacuum etched surfaces are much more stable than chemically etched ones and are in various other ways more suitable for remote metallographic study. Radiation darkening of objectives and other parts of the optical system is a major problem in remote metallography. The limited amount of work done to date has not fully explained the effects of irradiation on metallographic structures. Micrographs are presented of some materials after various degrees of irradiation.
